Another year, another great show,
Busse's got it goin' on, dont'cha know
Crossed a 1000 miles, really just to see all the smiles
Man, the Busse Crew was totally in sync, won'tcha say?
Saw old friends, met new friends, got a head full o' memories to last a while
Played with knives, drank, smoked, ate, chatted for days
Before I knew, was time to say goodbye, see ya, had a great time, that's true
Should have known that I'd catch a case of the post BLADE Show blues...

The knives are great, but it's about the good folks here I have to say
Rock on ya HOGs! Y'all got style, hope to see you again real soon! :)
It might not be for some time, and certainly not today
Until I can come 'round to shakin' off the post BLADE Show blues...

Man, what a year! New booth, new knives, and lot's o' new faces
HOGs, wives, chilluns, 'friends on the knives, all set to run manic paces
Familiar scene, familiar faces, all the fun, good company, food, and booze to chase it
From Germany, to Australia, to around the corner here in the U.S., and many other places
The HOGs of the Round Trough are the absolute freakin' BEST...face it, y'all are Aces
Man, I got them ol' post BLADE Show blues...
But I got NO REGRETS, Whoo Hoo!!!
;):thumbup: :D

:):):):)

Lexi, Pokey, Lora (David Lee Roth's voice is still stuck in your head, ain't it? ;)), Naomi & Cali, Garth, Josh, Beef, & Dan...and of course, the Bossman... Thank you so much for another kickazz Show! We missed ya, Jerry, but know that your Crew was on top of their game and we know that you were there in spirits...ahem, err... Spirit!! ;):thumbup:

You know why, ya HOG!!!), Drew, Monte (thank you too, ya HOG!!!, You know why!), Jimmy, Shane & Debbie, Terry, The HOG S.W.A.T. Crew (Doc, Jerry, & Doug), Bill P., Ronnie S., Bryan (Glad ya found your hat!), T & Rhonda and the Knife Hunter Posse ;), Doug J., Eric, ...oh crap, here's where the memory starts to fail! ...M67...Mark!

You know why!), Mike L., Havoc550 (I hope that we got things worked out, man, and I'll remember the conversation. :thumbup:), Greg B., Arnie B... Oh my GAWD, so many names, I'm remembering more each year, but if you're not listed here, don't think that means I don't care, because YOU HOGs ALL ROCK!!! :cool::thumbup: Glad to see and chat and share the Trough with y'all again!!!!!!!!!

I did really miss a few that weren't able to make it this year, but things happen, and understandably life gets in the way sometimes, and hopefully next year will bring y'all back...

Rob, mate! Lots of love back to you & Karen! Yep, the only plank pic taken all weekend, I believe. Good one, huh? :D I miss you guys already! Gather up Karen & Pea, use Murray for a blanket, pour some good wine and feel the memories of the warm weather y'all had to leave behind. Wish You Were Here! :thumbup:
 
waiting patiently for those pics Alex :)

Jeff

Gonna be a bit, brother! ...I'm playing with my knives that just arrived. (Actually, I gotta run some errands) I'll try to get 'em done & posted tonight. :)
Great to see ya, talk with ya, beatcha up for a knife ;), feed ya margaritas, and ring some credit for ya! :) BLADE ROCKS, don't it?!!! :cool:
Thank you, Jeff! :thumbup:
 
Another great year, and besides getting food poisoning or drinking tainted beer, it was a blast.

Can't wait till next year
 
Can't wait for more pics. I took several but many were bad. Got to practice with this Iphone thingy.

Eric, that's ok, lemme refresh your memory! ...You promised to sell me all the rare Busse knives that ya score for the next year for just a song.
The lyrics are already written above in Post #1, Rob's gonna help me with the music. :D:D

;););) :D

LOL, no worries! ...WHAB, SAB (WhaBee SaBee!! ;):thumbup: :)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<

Ok, the first batch of images are about ready. Unfortunately, I also had a new camera and still have much to learn about it.
Lesson 1.) TURN OFF the damn DATE STAMP!!! :grumpy::o:D ...LOL, wish I'd thought of that BEFORE taking pix!
 
Cool Pix Jaxx, It was great seeing you, even though it was brief.
We need to hang more :)
 
OK, that's the pix...
I do have quick vidclip to try and edit... "To Joe!" ...Unfortunately, my camera's battery quit, but I might be able to salvage something from it. Will post it in Post #3 when I can. :)

Man, what a GREAT time. I hope that everyone agrees!!! :)
 
Awesome pics man!!!!

I'd completely forgotten about that super closeup of yours truly. hahahaha!!!
