Bernd:
Had the pleasure of meeting Roger (rleete) Sunday. He came out to see my disorganized mess.....I mean workshop.

He thought I should have been older, since he made that comment a few times. So I need to ask, does my typing make me look old?  :lol:

Anyway, we had a good time discussing all sorts of things.

As Bog's told me, now when you read the persons message that you have met in person you can put a face with that message.

Great meeting you in person Roger. Now I need to see your shop. (sounds like I'll show you mine if you show me yours).

Bernd

rleete:
Damn, you beat me to it.  Didn't get a chance to be on the computer yesterday.

So, I met Bernd and his wife Sunday afternoon.  It was a beautiful day for a drive, and he lives about 40 minutes south of me.  Very nice people, and we chatted for several hours.  He showed me all his machines (including one monster of a drill press), and parts to several engines in progress.  Yes, I did think you'd be older; when I think retired, I picture cranky old fart. 

His shop encompasses the whole basement, which is larger than my entire house.  It's filled with all sorts of interesting stuff, and enough lumber to build a garage, at least.  He has a small walled off area that is more in line with what most of us would consider a normal sized shop, which is packed to the gills with tools, trains and books.  He has more machines than any one person should be allowed, and many projects (both hobby and more practical stuff) in various states of completion.  He still does not have the kitchen cabinets done!

Thanks for having me over, and I hope the bread turned out okay.

Nope it didn't. She said that she "wong" (is there such a word or should it be "winged it")it again. You know alittle bit of this and a little of that. She thinks she used to much flour. Boy I thought I had her trained after 19 years.  :lol:

Yup, Roger hit it on the head with that description of my shop. So I don't need to add anymore to this.

Now the other part. Sometimes I'm cranky and sometimes I feel old, but I fart all the time.  :lol:

Glad you could finally make it out to my house. Now, if and when you get your engine done I'll come over for a visit. So get cranking on that engine.  :D

I thought you would be older too!

Hey Roger... didn't you think he would be bigger too? I figured he was a tank after moving that mill into his basement!
