Hey!

[HoosierTrooper]

Well I’ll be…………..good to hear from you Tom! Nowadays  I don’t get here as much as I like but something told me to check in today. Been wondering if you had retired yet. Yep folks, this fella is one of the originals. To this day he still has the record for the most numerous and rarest finds in the wild. He also restored a lot of vintage brushes. We had a lot of laughs and fun times while learning about SEs. Oh, and just a little tip if you already hadn’t noticed; look close at his shades. By the way Tom, what’s on the smoker?

Thanks,yeah we really did have a lot of fun learning about these things together. I did seem to stumble on some pretty cool stuff, it was mostly just dumb luck for the most part. And yeah, I’m still ruining perfectly good cuts of meat with wood and charcoal!

I still have the gorgeous Ever-Ready brush you gave me many years ago, still using it with the TGN boar knot I put in it. It’s by far my most treasured brush and I think of your kindness and generosity every time I use it.
