Yes sir,

The Tony Bridge from Andy at Birkonium. It looked nice so I asked him for 2 3/16 spring spacing.

I can't take credit for the inlay work. I had Precision Pearl in Austin do it. To be honest guys, they supplied the blank, inlaid the pearl, and shipped it all for 107.00. I can't do it myself for that and its flawless.

Good looking Michael,
Did you make that engravement with a branding iron? I'm thinking about buying me such an iron you know.

Yeah, we miss you. I think I'm speaking for all, well some, well for Kevin.
The last we heard was along the lines of, and I quote:


"Does NOT change the fact that Tony is a fruitan that does a fiery dance."

for those needing a refresher course in Fruitan and frenzied Bohemian dancing: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=701&hilit=fruitan

Couple years ago? I have not stopped laughing since, and am being monitored by the Guiness Stout World records to see how long I can last laughing.

I've been wandering around looking for a fiery dance partner.
When I'm not on my phone, I'll post more. It's late and I'm tired.
