You too, Eric. Tell the family hello for us.
We have been down to Richmond a couple of times in the past weeks, but we've spent the whole time at the hospital. My cousin is still there, and will be there a while, yet.

Yea. They have Pamper Chef parties, and 31 parties, and Tastefully Simple parties. We have OTT. I think we get the better deal.

A friend's wife just had a combo 31/Tastefully Simple party. While all the women were in the house clucking, we went out to her husbands impressive workshop (he was there, of course). We steamed oysters, ate Mixican dip and chips, and fellowshipped while leaning on the fenders of a 46 Chevrolet.
He does have a Kubota L235, but he isn't the computer type.

Kubota_man, it was. The guy who owns the place, Gordon, was finishing up his sons truck when we all got there. They had rebuilt the front end (new bearings, seals, u-joints, tie rod ends), and the boys were going bear hunting later than night. We helped them clean up, and I got to meet friends of Gordons that I didn't know. All quality, down to earth guys. We talked tools, cars, tractors, welding, whatever- just fellowshipped the way guys do. No alcohol, no crude language. There was a wood stove going, plus the cooker with the oysters.
Really, though, someone should create a similar scenario, where men get together to see product demonstrations and sell stuff. Maybe Snap-on should look into it. Or Stihl.

About a month ago my Father In-Law who is an IBEW Jurneyman/Instructor Electrician took the Wifey-Poo and I to a Platt Electrical customer appreciation day / Demo day that included a mini trade show with a catered BBQ it was a ton of fun and oh yeah I spent way to much money :p It was really just a bunch of guys and a few gals just shooting the breeze and having fun.
