[richied]

I'm from Marietta Ok. I do know where the Bass pro Shop is at Grapevine. How close is the show to th BPS?

[jonet143]

right across the street! come on.

[Knifekid]

Good show and easy to get to! I'm at the 2nd or 3rd table on the right as you walk through the door, stop by and say hey...

[W5RWU]

Perry are you set up next to Jerry?
Randy

[Knifekid]

Yep...at least always have been. I only took one table this year, I'm flying instead of driving, so Bruce may have to put someone else next to me. When you come through the door the first table to the right is Tommy Clark, Bruce, me, and then Jerry.

I guess I'm not going to make the knife show, today. My best little 4 legged Friend is probably dying of kidney failure and I just can't leave her. We are taking her to the vet in a little while to see if there is anything that can be done. I don't want her to be in pain.

[justold52]

So sad to read this BILL.

My last dog I put him down myself. That was real hard to do and live with. Now I know how they all felt in OLD YELLOWER. Which is one of my favorite moves.

Your dog is just going to beat you and your wife to heaven is all BILL.

[CCBill]

Well, my little Buddy is still alive and is doing better. She has kidney problems, back and hip problems, a bad heart(DAMN, sounds like ME!). The vet did x-rays, ran blood tests, the whole shootin' match. We'll have to give her meds every day. She's getting around better and doesn't seem to be in pain.
I hate that I missed the knife show. I really would like to have met everybody that went. Maybe next year, huh?
...CCBill...

[Gunsmoke47]

Hey Bill, glad your little 4 legged friend is doing better! Wish you could have been there. I was there from 9:00 til 12 noon on Saturday and got to meet Perry Miller (Knifekid) and Johnnie Fain (Jonet143) and his lovely wife. Wish I could have stayed longer and perhaps met some more AAPK. people but had to be back in Amarillo by 7:00 Sat. I managed to get away without totally depleting my non-existant bank account! Just added one RedBone Case USA. to my collection. #6185 Doctors knife. Smoke

[philco]

Nice score there Gunsmoke47.

Love those deep red bone handles. It's a beauty!

[jonet143]

great score kelley! my wife and i had a good time as well. didn't pull the trigger on anything though. lots of vintage and custom knives. always nice to see knifekid. getting to meet gunsmoke47(kelley baker) was a real pleasure. just missed randy(w5rwu) for the second time. (i think he's avoiding me! )
