Howdy all! Long time no check in. Just got in from the Quartzsite trip last week, and I have been meaning to say hi here.
Had a relatively good time down south. Sales were good and brisk on the Olympic Poppy, but the show was terrible. I guess I have been spoiled working with juried shows, but Desert Gardens is a ghetto IMHO. My neighbor that had a flea market and never changed his shorts was a special treat. I'll probably go back to do the Pow wow or Tyson Wells, but never again at Desert Gardens.
Those of you that I got to meet were a special treat however. What a cool community we have here. It will take me a few times to match faces to names, but I really dug hanging out at the potluck BBQ.
It's neat to belong here, and I hope that I'll continue to contribute to the community. My Plans for the next year include: Modifying the Diamond Pacific Lathe into something truly useable, Building a 24" saw, building a polishing/grinding arbor, modifying my drop saw to include a vise, finish my soil/agate separator, and gathering enough beach jaspers & jade's to cut and face my fireplace surround in the house I am building. I'll be setting up an outdoor shop, in order to process enough stone to hopefully attend the Madras and Prineville shows this summer.
I'll start threads on my builds as well as chime in here and there. Again, Thanks are due to everyone on this board, as you all ROCK! (boo...hiss...)

You are VERY welcome Joshua! It was great to meet you and the BBQ was a fantastic chance to meet everyone. You might offer a couple of small or medium flat rate boxes of your poppy japser here. Hint.....hint
