I had a great time, and enjoyed meeting you folks. I'll definitely plan to attend next year.

   You have put the bar rather high with that MEM display. I'll have to see if we can do something equally as good in the UK in July but you will have to wait to find out what .

Thank you everyone for making me feel so welcome and for inspiring me with the quality of your work.

Thanks also for the photos of all my new friends.

A special thanks to Phil an Pam Oles for inviting Bernie and me into their home and for driving miles and miles to pick us up and return us to Baltimore. It made the trip to CF really special for us. It also shows the strength of the bonds that can quickly be formed between like-minded lunatics.

Really something, you blokes - I dearly wish I could be there (instead of here swinging off the end of a chainsaw)

[Mosey]

Jo,
Equally good?
We only showed you a brief snippet of the good,
You can't imagine the depth of talent and quality of the people here!
We'll show the castings later.
Do your best and enjoy.
Mosey

[Jo]

We'll show the castings later.

Well the camera is indeed toast but I managed to get pics off without having to take the SD card out.
Here's a few pics...























Part of this picture provided good reason to attend. The other part of the picture shows the fella that provided my beans.
Thanks Lou and Eric for a great lunch.

Hi Carl, thanks for sharing the pictures. So I get some impression, what is going on at the other side of the big pond. I like this snow engines.

More engines

Zee et al,

A tie clip engine?  I don't wear ties anymore but I want one.  True geekdom could at last be mine.

I remember seeing somewhere a photo of an engine built into a finger ring with an air line running up the sleeve to an armpit air bulb. 

Thanks to all of you for the great photos.  I really, really wish we could put together a similar show out here on the left coast.  Men, Metal and Machines was great while it lasted but apparently it wasn't economically viable.

I have no doubt you had it. You might have gone past it though.

I recognize that tie clip engine Marv.

It was made by Jerry Pontius who is an very talented model engineer; Jerry has been a regular at the GEARS show for a number of years.
Jerry builds amazing (sometimes very small) engines working only from photos and patient drawings.

Here is a picture (from Carl Carlsen's web site) showing Jerry and some of his creations.

Gone past it?  Well, maybe.  I suppose that, after physical geekdom, one progresses to mental geekdom.  Does writing a C program to do long term Mayan calendrical computation count?  How about a Julian date algorithm to handle dates prior to 0 AD?

My physical geekdom isn't totally dead though.  I still carry a Leatherman every day and secretly lust after the Swiss Army knife with the built-in thumb drive.

Jo,
We'll show the castings later.

Ok there is later and later Its been six hours and still no signs of casting sets

Since then I have even had an Email where the sender said "No you don't need another set of castings."  Last time someone said that to me it was grounds for divorce

Looks like I'm safe them

Can anyone help Jo with who supplies the castings for the Mogul sideshaft, I know PMD used to do one but thought that was a 4hp tank cooled and not a hopper like the one shown.
