[truck]

I'm really going to try to make it. If I do get there, it will be my very first BLADE show.

[outkast]

Had room and passes for a few months this will be my 4th Blade Show

[BBley]

Just a thought...How might we AAPK's recognize each other if we do pass at the show? would love to say hi to many of the good people ive chatted with in my long 18 post career here!

Wow. I hope you will feel up to attending but don't push yourself too hard.

[Jody744]

We could plan to meet in the back right corner where the queen booth is saturday from 1-2 or something?
Roofsc, heal well brother! I just had my 1st real surgery last month on my shoulder, pretty minor but it is taxing on the body, stay healthy and rest up.

[glennbad]

Roofsc, take things easy brother. You got to let things heal up. More importantly, your stamina will be down after that surgery...(I know)

Anyway, glad to hear it went well!

[Chase]

I will also be there Thursday through Saturday....Staying at the Quality Inn and I would also like to be included in the Annual Saturday Night AAPK Dinner!

Looking forward to seeing the Usual Suspects and possibly some new folks as well!

Nice Jody, the only thing I bought this year was a Randall pointed cap to fit a #18 5" knife I have to replace a flat cap. I will post pic tomorrow. I saw a lot of nice knives but it was a strange year. Didn't see anything I could;t go home without. I did seem to spend more time at the Chris Reeve display but didn't pull the trigger.

I had a good time. I went looking for Terriers. There were only two there. One, I already have and the other was too much money and it had been heavily cleaned. Blades were almost full. I would have bought it sans cleaning, for his asking price.

Bought some super slick glue some guy was hawking, some lubricant for knives and guns and walking stick and white gold & diamond cross for Sarah.

I took some Robeson knives as trading fodder and ended up selling four.

I came home with more money than I took.

I reserved a sales table from Bruce Voyles for next year's Dalton, Georgia knife show. I'm going to set up to sell some of this Robeson collection and the paraphernalia surrounding it.

Had a great time at dinner. Good food and great people.

Got a little sleep deprivation on the drive home, but made it OK. Never left the road and didn't get pulled over.

The Cubs fulfilled one of the things on my bucket list by winning the World Series last year. I have three other items on the list that I'd like to accomplish before I croak. Two are doable, the third probably not. I'd like to attend Blade. I'd like to attend the Oregon show. I'd like to visit Australia. There are other things but those are the top three.
