Breakfasts: There are restaurants on Washington which is 3 miles from my place. I have not had meals at any of the places so you are on your own.

It is the end of October so the weather could be cool. If you are of the southern persuasion, I would bring some warm clothes. Unlike Charlie's place, my garage is heated.

Friday PM Dinner on your own accord. Tables will be here Friday afternoon if you have stuff to set up.
There might be a bottle of Knob Creek to share.

Saturday lunch is brats from the same place as in April. I thought they were quite good.

Saturday dinner is on TC. His pulled pork is as good as it gets. I am laying in two bags of charred wood.

Sunday lunch will be leftovers.

Richard is vegan. If you are a veggiesaurus, get with him to work out your food.

Coffee will be supplied. You can bring soda if you want. I should have plenty of water. Bon does like white wine.

If you like snacks bring some to share.

More to follow

Would it be appropriate for me to bring my grinder? 230 V.

Edit; I'm thinking that if we are all in the same room (garage) that the grinder would be a bad idea. Noise, dust, etc.

I only have one 220 outlet and it is in the basement.

Does anyone have a Thuringian that they like and could bring? I am not interested in purchasing it. I have not been able to get a great edge of off the ones that I've tried and I don't know if it is me or the stones. Some 'one on one' with a good stone and a person who knows how to use it would clear this up.

Victor,
I have two, an Escher and a Hohenzollern and will be bringing both. You are more than welcome to take them for a test ride.

I,m sure Ron will have a thuri or 2 with him and he knows how to use it. as a matter of a fact I was going to ask him to bring one of the ones I used before and a selection of Cotis, again. Tc

Well then, I'll know at least that it is not the stones! Thanks all. This is what makes meets great.

Here are some of the topics to be demo/discussed. If you have a talent or knack and want to share, shoot me a pm.

JTMke: Balsa wood pasted hone

Randy: Coticles

Randy: How to take out a frown

Ron: Taking out a shoulder that is interfering with honing

Dave: Scale making If you have blank scale material and need it cut, bring it with you.

Dave: Sanding jigs

TC: The art of pulled pork cooking

Vic: Harmonica

Anyone brave enough: Getting a lather with lye soap

===> If you are going to be here early (~8:00) Friday morning, come on over. I just learned I have to unload the truck with the tables and chairs. Help will be appreciated!

Kinda quiet here for being so close to meet time. Shouldn't we be building excitement.
