I have to admit, I took his. There just wasn't a TAK as HUGE as that one
anywhere else to be found.

All in good fun, of course.
The guy's legacy will live on forever. If I was him, "HUGETAK!" would be
my handle.

I noticed that when I looked into moving there.
You are also right next to the Appalachian Trail, which I plan to hike
one day, though not the whole thing unless I become independently
wealthy. :-)

Have you tried your hand at writing a book? (your site basically is one
already).
I am not trying to gush over you too much, but your stories and the way
that they were presented held my interest more than many novels by
established authors, and I read a lot of books.

No books in my future -- being an author demands too much concerted
effort. On any given day I can get out of bed and make a mug of strong
coffee which is obligatory. After that all other strenuous effort is
optional.

The furniture is beautiful. Simple, real wood. Hard to find stuff like
that.

Be honest Pat, was it the writing, or the floral pattern on the Black
Walnut and Fabric Screen (http://johnmcgaw.com./furn22.html) that really
caught your eye??

Disclaimer: not a knock on your work John, I hope to do some furniture
building in the future myself.. and your work looks great.

Come on Bruce, that is only 230 degrees F.

We hit that each day during August in central Texas, and that's at
night.....

I was really just hyping him up in hopes of saving on hotel bills next
time I go to TN.

I actually had not looked at the furniture section yet, but I have
nothing to say about about floral patterns when I have in my possession
floral needlepoint stitchery kits, glitzy earrings and a peacock feather
purse. :-)

There are 9 miata parts auctions up as well to keep this vaguely on-topic.
Any need ABS front hubs or front control arms? Radiator fan and motor?
More to come.

How about a Snap-On Tools 1/4 inch wrench tie clasp, nobody can live
without that....

That got a good laugh out of me. Did you photo shop that yourself Kiernam?

I wish that I had HUGE TAK!'s e-mail address so I could send him this.
