OK here's the real story.
I went over to IG's to pick up the birthday presents for Kook. Of course I brought over a 6 pack of some real beer. After a bull$hit session we went into IG's storage area and picked out some very nice handle material and a couple of bars of 1084. Wa..Wa..Wally wanted to show me the new blower he had bought, as the type that are powering his forges now are no longer avaiable. Well don't ya know that he couldn't find it. We (he) looked around for a couple of hours and still could not find it. I really couldn't hang in until it was found, and when I left his house, I was still laughing about George's lack of memory. Don't you know, as I'm driving down the highway, I remember that I didn't pay him, and knowing that I would see him at the knife show I figured I would just pay him then. Just after that thought, my cell phone rings, and of course it's IG busten my chops about not paying.
Well Sunday rolls around and I see IG at the knife show and I certainly pay him off, 'cause I always pay my debts
. At the show, IG had brought another person, Shawn, with him. IG tells me that Shawn had a blower for sale, one that had never been used, and wouldn't you know that the blower is the same model that is no longer around. I hooked up with Shawn and purchased that blower for my other forge. Why IG didn't buy it,,,,well let's just call it another Senior Moment.:thumbup:
Thanks IG for not buying Shawn's blower, and thanks especially for giving me a good deal on those pieces. By the way, IG also gave Kook a present of some really nice bookmatched rosewood slabs and a set of bloodwood slabs. Kook really apreciated all those gifts that he received for his 59 th birthday. :thumbup:
PS IG you old $hit, did you find that blower yet
