Title: Dade City Knap-Inn
Post by: mullet on February 20, 2011, 09:09:15 pm
 The weather was great, just wish I took some shoes besides flip-flops and short sleeve T-shirts. The temperature went from +80 to 40. I had a great time camping with Bonepile, Steve Parnel, and his beautifull wife Angie, she liked to humor old men ::) ;). And, Roger makes some of the best Muscadine Wine I've ever tasted.

 Next year it is going to change formats to being a Primitive Arts Festival and Workshop. I was asked to build bows and do some demostrations on bow building. I do that better then beating rocks ;D.

 Here's some pictures;

thanks for the pics Eddie, where is all the public at in those pics? Was that a picture of the quarter half of Hugh? Heres what I have been doing this weekend. I thought I had a bad bearing and dropped the oil pan only to find the wrong kind of metal in it. I broke a rod. Engiine is no good. Found another one and will finish taking this one out by tues.

It was a good weekend. 
Thanks Mullet and Bonepile for letting my Dad and I use your tarp.  I think he really enjoyed himself and I know I did.
Thanks Mullet for the slab tips.  I knocked out a couple points thinner and with nicer flake patterns than I was ever able to get before.
I hope to see some of you guys up toward Soppchoppy in a month.
Take Care
Scott

 Yep! he was eating some Mulberry Pie that Roger's wife had made for Claude's Birthday.

Roger, that sucks with the engine, and that was Hugh.

Bob, we met one of your fellow knappers from Penn., Do you know a guy named Tim Jackson from Tyrone?

Angie and I had a great time.  Eddie, Roger, thank you both so much for the hospitality.  The food and wine was great!
Angie really enjoyed hanging out with both of you guys.  She was even remarking so yesterday.  She went for awhile yesterday on the beadwork that she started, she was wishing for a teacher to sit down with again, though.  Isn't that the way?!  Wish I had a permanant knapping tutor.
Be well, and I'll be in touch.

Steve

 Steve, I had a good time camping with you guys. I meant to tell Angie bye but she looked like she was busy beading, and doing a great job. You have a Special one there. I hope we all get a chance to do it again.

yes its a F-150, broke the rod. I found another engine in a lincoln towncar, Ford had to types of engines this one is a Romeo and the other type is a Windsor. So hopefully I can have it on the road for a rock run or a knap-in soon
