Title: Timber Framers Guild Rendezvous At Camp Letts - Washington DC Area
Post by: submarinesailor on July 09, 2008, 02:32:06 PM
Is any one planning on attending this rendezvous.  It is scheduled for the August 19-23, 2008.  I have plans on attending, but with the Pig Roast and this so close, I have to check the financing real close.

Unfortunately we're not going to make it either.
We just burned up a chunk of my leave driving out to Iowa and back for my MIL's 85th birthday.

Well, all three pieces fell into place today:

1.   Wife blessed me going.
2.   The other Boss approved my leave.
3.   And the Guild accepted my money.

So, it looks like I have 4 days of some good training. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Awesome... Bring a video camera and open a YouTube channel.  ;)

Video camera and YouTube - What's that?   ;) ??? ::)

Wish I had the money for a new digital camera - for once I dropped and broke the camera, not the wife.  I do plan on taking a film camera and having them put on a disk at COSTCO.

Ouch, so far we've managed to avoid that.  Except for the cost, I still prefer film anyway.

I've been a bit lost in YouTube land these days, slowly creating a 'video' playlist covering our house construction.
Most are actually slideshows (especially the early phases).
