Some Time

Time has slipped away and another memorable summer with lots of bike rides and trips to strange places, some nicer than others is behind us. The biking weather has turned ugly and I only need about 40 odd km to reach my yearly goal of 10000km. Some snow has fallen and the high mountains are not a place you want to be this time of year. Down in the Valley we are enduring copious amounts of rain. Sometimes 100 mm at a time. Good time to catch up with reading carving and other sedentary persuits. I have finished another five or six Christmas ornaments. So that is a good thing. If you get a chance go to the Dayton Artistry in Wood show there is abut as much as one could possibly see related to Carving, Turning, and Fine Furniture building. Hope to see you there The show is next weekend November 14 and 15 at the Dayton International Airport. It is around the backside of the airport at the Airport Expo Centre. The Show opens at 10 AM both days. For more info here is a link to the Show page on the club website. http://www.daytoncarvers.com/artistryinwood.html
