My only word of advice is... do not shake hands with a silica collector!



You'll have dry skin for weeks!

Silica...isn't that what you dip chips in?

The consensus seems to be for a June 25 meet. Let's take a vote on the location: Nils's garage, or my HT.

If we do Nils's garage, it will be an evening meet. Advantages of this location: Larger space and easier to swap equipment in/out.

If we do my place, it will be an afternoon or evening meet. Advantages of this location: Air-conditioning.

My vote: My HT (though I live in Austin, I don't love the heat).

Actually your HT is probably as large as the garage, certainly if we only use two of the bays, and set-up in your HT should not be too difficult so I do not see that the garage idea has that large of an advantage in that category.

The one big advantage though, which is why I even offered the garage in the first place is the screen area. However, your 10' screen is no slouch, and due to the time of year, the garage would not be the most pleasant experience.

Therefore, I cast my vote for Collin's place.

Maybe we can plan ahead of time for the fall, and use the garage idea for another shootout with an emphasis on comparing screen material, as the garage wall would be perfect for such a comparison as we can use it to try different paint mixtures as well as attach sample screen materials to it.

Colins. Definitely Colins. And I AM a NATIVE Texan and usually like the heat. ...especially win it emvolves wimen in dem bikini thingies all awled up with some Pennzawl 10w40 derivative laying around a pool or playing vawlyballs... But Nil's garage wern't going to have that so... I like Colin's AC'd shack better.

And before any of you crazy guys stoned on those maragritas, coming off a bad poker bet, volunteers to wear a tight pair of cutoffs and go shirtless, we don't need that...

Whatever works for me. However, things are beginning to pick up at work, I know I will be working weekends soon. I usually get off a little early when working weekends, hopefully the time of the meet won't conflict too much.

The heat doesn't bother us native Texans.

So Hank, you don't have AC at your place?
If that's true, let the tin-horn, panty-waist, spoiled city-slickers brand stand. Otherwise, if the boot fits...

As a fellow native Texan, while I can handle the heat, I don't particularly relish the notion. I vote for Colin's place.

But if anyone was to bring along a lovely female somewhat clad in warm weather apparel... Let's just say that I vote for that too.



Friends may come and go...
...but enemies accumulate.
