    They all hummed-along seemingly trouble-free!

    Tom, I made a grinder based on pictures I took two years ago of Victor's grinder. I'm glad that I did so.

    Charlie told me it runs really smooth. I might need to get with Victor on some dimensions.

    Finally arrived home 1 hour ago.
    Worst 10 hours of driving in my life.
    The state of Iowa is nothing but snow drifts. Got buried in one of them.
    All ok now.
    More tomorrow.

    Great meet and great guys.

    I finally got home after leaving this morning from KC. All the interstates to the south of here are closed and so I took the back roads.

    In many places they were not 2 lanes but 1 to 1.5 and you hoped that the plow followed the ditches.....

    North of Des Moines Iowa there was a car in the ditch ever few hundred yards on the roads that were "open" yet.

    I will have to reread the posts here and comment more after I decompress!

    Looked it up, Pete! a 46K truck with the dealer wanting 19+K for the add-ons.

    JFK that razor has a deadly point on it. Be careful. I've wanted to go to this meet for a couple years but it just hasn't worked out for me yet. Being able to make your own razor is something that would be so cool to do. I'm jealous!
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    A $66,000 vehicle accommodating 2 people with a wide-open trunk. Makes perfect sense!

    The meet was great this year, we had a good time. Thanks to everybody for pitching it and making it happen. The mmet runs smoothly because of all of us making it happen.

    Thanks to everybody who made my new razor happen it is very humbling. I am not sure what to say other than I am very appreciative and thankful. I was totally surprised. THANK YOU
