2014 G.E.C. RENDEZVOUS, Who's Coming ?

Quick question, last year they had some fixin's and drinks at the GEC shop, anyone know if they will have that on Thursday/Friday since they're doing a full out picnic on Saturday?

I just got off the phone with Chris, Gary.
GEC will have coffee and cookies in the morning, and hot dogs with fixin's and cold drinks a little later on right up until closing.
No need to pack a lunch!!
 
Nice thanks Charlie, it's a long drive out, of course you have a distance to travel too !

As of now I'm planning on showing up on Friday as I have off this week for vacation. And will bring some sharpening stones along for anyone that might want to see how I go about it. and maybe get a better portrait of Charlie this time, last one was pretty rushed as he was quite swamped with folks loaded with questions for him and I didn't want to intrude.

Well, the stars apparently lined up just right! I'll be there Friday, although unfortunately I think I'll only be able to spend a couple hours there. Looking forward to seeing you all! Charlie, I'm going to bring that mystery razor barlow I sent you pictures of and see if maybe Bill can shed a little more light on it.
 
I will make it to this one of these years!! I'm hoping for next summer but i'll just have to wait and see how things work out then. With a wedding and everything to pay for this summer there is just no way I could afford it.
 
Well, talked it over with my wife, of course she makes sense, I shouldn't push a long drive with my ankle still trying to heal up so I guess I'll not be joining you folks this year :(
Hate to miss but the ankle still binds up and swells so a long trip especially by myself probably isn't the best thing to do right now.

Have fun guys and gals !

Sorry to hear that Gary. I'm always interested in honing my honing skills. Hopefully we'll see you next year!
 
yeah sorry guys I was looking forward to this since last years, sure wish I hadn't broken my ankle !!! but it takes a lot of time to mend the ligaments and tendons that I managed to snap as my foot folded out to the side and up against the side of my leg, crazy stuff...

Ouch! That hurt just hearing that description. Hope it heals up quickly and thoroughly.
I'm going to make that trip to Tidioute one of these years. Unfortunately this years out as we have planned to spend some time in York, Maine the following week and have house stuff to do before we leave.

My Uncle Angelo had a home on the Allegheny right near Tidioute. He's passed on. Visiting him and fishing the river is a fond memory for me. I doubt I could even find his place after all these years.

I hope everyone has a great time!
 
Gary,
Your Wife has good sense to keep You going forward in the healing mode with no relapse.
I will look forward to meeting You next year, ( which will be here before we know it ).
 
Yes, I think that is probably the best move right now and time does go fast, at least I am off the walking cane except when I go out on uneven surfaces, but it's still much like a Frankenstein or Mummy kind of hitch in my step, could be a year before I am walking as normal as I use to...

Bob, will you be there on Saturday as well?

So sorry to hear you won't be able to make it Gary, I enjoyed talking with you last year.
 
I will be there all day Saturday Caleb. As always, I'm looking forward to seeing my all my Knifing Friends! See Ya There!
 
For photos, follow GEC on Instagram. They recently created an account and are posting photos of the rendezvous starting this morning. Can you spot godfather Charlie? Looks like he lined up early with the masses for a crack at the special Charlow. 😀

I'm going to be there in like 2 hours. Any idea if there will likely be any left at that point? I want one so badly.
 
I am not a 2 blade kinda guy, but for that one I will make an exception. Linus is going to freak when he sees this later today.
