Had a great time last year.

I’m sure the concert I’ll be fun and your talents will shine through. You will be missed. I learned a lot from you last year. We all did have a great fun Meetup last year. Hopefully next one you can make. Have fun, play well, and enjoy the concert.

You can buy hardware for strops. The ones I made used 3 inch gate hinges which I modded to fit strop leather and linen.

Dave,
is there a good place to buy hardware that you know of? I never have shopped for them yet. I would like to learn how to make them and work with leather. I will buy some hardware for sure and bring along. I need to find out about where to get some leathers or hides too. Well I have some time. Research I guess. Look forward to learning alongside you. Thanks brother.

The meetup will not be the same without you if you can’t make it. Good luck with the knee replace,ent surgery. Sending you positive vibes and prayers for a speedy and full recovery.
I hope to see you again, but if you can’t make it, I understand.

Gonzo, my friend, bless your heart for the kind words. I always have a lot of fun at Dave's meet and will try my best to make it. Thanks, my friend.

Good luck to you, I hope it works out as well for you as it did for me.

Dave you going to make me a BBQ fork and Knife? Charlie did!!!!!!!!

Obie Tom had his knees replaced at 102 years old and he can run back to back marathons with Halle Berry on his shoulders, while Fixing up his hot rod Alpha. oh lets not forget leaping over tall buildings in a single bound! Just kidding Tom, but you are surely a great example. I can only hope mine is even close,, but if it is can I borrow Halle for a while?

What did you do with the ones Charlie made?

TC, you're always rubbing my ass.
I'm not sure that my private messages are getting through to Dave. I'm wanting to go to his Fall meet and twice sent a request for directions and motel
recommendations but have gotten no answer. I know Dave is a polite and considerate man which makes me think I am fouling up in the sending. Any
hep to put me on the right path would be appreciated.

My wife had her right knee replaced a couple of years ago. She was able to drive again in a couple of weeks; but getting in an out of the car was more difficult than driving. Since she had her right knee done, it was easier for her to drive than it was to get into the passenger side. She will have to have the left knee done within the next year.

The key to success is rehab exercises. You need someone who can serve as your "rehab Nazi"; I served that role for my wife. The "rehab Nazi" has make you do your exercises, even when your body is screaming "NO MORE!"

Try not to take any more pain meds than you have to, but don't suffer needlessly.

If you do the rehab like you should, you should be in fine shape in time for Dave's meetup. I hope to see you there.

TC, my friend, thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I will keep results in mind.
Either way, I do not want to miss the razor meet.
