Anyone else nervous?

I'm just sitting back watching the fun...might pop myself up some popcorn and watch the festivities. Though it could well be that the fireworks already happened...

This is like watching the Clint Eastwood movie High Noon. Two gunslingers staring each other down waiting for the other to twitch...

A little over a minute left...

Good job, Steve.

PM me your address and I will send them out tomorrow. It's been fun to watch you spend your money on such a worthy cause.

Congratulations, Burlkraft!

Thanks for your support of the Forum.
Now tell us. Did you just bid so high on those birdhouses because you liked them or are going to copy them?

Well....I got a couple new ornaments now...I'll make sure they are well cared for. Jill and I have a collection of turnings from turners that are not so famous but do extrordinary work. I do believe these will fit in nicely.

I won't be copying them...They're too small. Ya gotta remember I have a truck repair business too...I like doing BIG stuff...

That was a lot of fun, even though it cost me more money......It was a better deal than goin' ta da Casino...

And it'll be doing more good to.....here's to another great year on the forum...

Thanks Jeff....

(like that coulda happened

)

It's always good to have a plan B

Did you go to the packers game?

Burlkraft,

I hear you on the work side of it.

Now my idea of copying something usually involves calling whoever made it in the first place and ordering another one. They are much better at it than I am.

Congrats Steve - it was a good auction and I know that they will fit in well with your collection.

Thanks Scott.....

I'll have to get the collection together and get a photo before we start packin' everything away for da remodeling...

Well, if you need a place to store those great looking ornaments while you're remodeling, I'll be glad to volunteer my Christmas Tree!
