That is admitting to a total sideways visit.  I guess brisket camp has that effect!  
Next time-Drago's for the win!  
Edit:  Once upon a time there I dang near broke a tooth on a pearl that was in a raw oyster.  It was around 1/8" in diameter.  See what you likely missed along with Drago's??

We broke out two sacks of oysters, sadly Larry left before then....about to throw a sck on the smoker.

Just fixed this gravity smoker.  New fan...soldered some bad connections.

There are gonna be some post camp attendees that will definitely enjoy what they are about to experience.  That is bringing home New Orleans to those who ventured in.  Better to be lucky than good any day!

Holy Bat Chit . . . what great gathering of Eggheads!

ForumDestroyer and his minions all in one spot.  Buffalo could have solved so many problems at one time!

Jokes aside, looks awesome, and mad jelly I didn't plan better.  Glad you all kept the traditions alive.  Did any cars or mailboxes get ruined this weekend?

No major damage, Ozzie.  (Amazingly)  Probably a few livers that have seen better days, however.

I suppose I should ask this personal question in a PM, but I bet I’m not the only one to wonder…

(As I have said in prior posts … I AM SO JEALOUS!)

is that huge shop owned only by you or jointly?

same question about ALL those tools, much less the CAT fork lift?

I see a couple cars off to the sides…your projects in process? 

I recall you have said your woodworking stationary tools are in a secured shop right behind your home… but is that hut and the visible tool collection (which drives me wild or should I again say insanely jealous) just your collection?

After this weekend, that shop belongs to his bookie.

No idea how I included a Christmas cookie pic…
That isn’t from brisket camp. 

I thought you were showing that you brought edibles.

Ron, I rented space from a good friend at that shop for years.  One day he asked me if I wanted to buy it for what he has in it.  I said sure, if I can scrape up enough cash because I didn’t want to take out a loan for a toy barn.  

Anyway, I did, then bought it and closed 26 months ago. Part of the deal was he got to keep his stuff in it for a year. 

All the stuff in it is mine except for my neighbor’s Vespa and a friend is working on his Falcon and has a small area with his tools (behind the yellow tape). 

I still have the shop behind the house which is much nicer with AC.  I have been building up a number of redundant tools so I don’t have to move them between the shops, but I’ve moved most of my metal working things there and have a second planer, miter saw, table saw, etc at the new shop. 

My newer boat took up a lot of space, I’ve moved that to a neighbor who has carte blanche use of it for fishing.  The neighbor is a block down my street and he supplies me with a seemingly unlimited amount of fresh fish.  

The new shop is 2 miles (5 minute drive via truck/6 minute drive via electric bike) from my house.

I figure if I want to start a little cottage business after I retire (or get fired from my 30 year old job ), I have a place to do that, but otherwise I just like work shops and a place to play around with wood and metal.  

Unfortunately the shop is zoned as a business so I pay higher than residential price for internet, power, water, etc, but it’s not too bad and my only other expense is the taxes which aren’t too bad (around $2400/year).   The 3-phase power is a bonus as I can get 3-phase equipment cheap. 

A buddy of mine uses it as a home base for his art work….he actually sold a piece for $500 bucks to another friend on Sat.  He’s a Canadian married to SWMBO’d best friend from kindergarten.

So friggen COOL! 

 

I really loved all your “side trades and deals” so many more than just you are benefiting from your purchase!
