Suprise!
« on: March 27, 2009, 06:23:42 am »
Everyone,

I opened my mailbox this morning to get the mail from yesterday (very busy, long story) and guess what I found inside?



How's THAT for a pretty sight to wake up to?!

I feel very honored to have received a one-of-a-kind Steve Original!

Thanks a million Steve! 

Regards,
Brian

Nice looking hat there Pooter!
 
Where does Steve find the time to post on these forums???
 
Does anyone else think it would be funny to get Steve a new book, like "How to build a nuclear reactor with knitting needles"?

We should probably start a fund to keep Steve in yarn.  Everyone wants one of his hats!  Hey Steve...tells us what kind of yarn to buy and we can send it to you.

Brian,

That's great! You and Steve have shown that his "originals" look good on guys, too!

(OK, since Keri pointed it out - it looks like a steel string and an electric - do you play nylon string, as well?)

And Steve - Someone needs to start a gallery of your work!  ;D

Okay, just have a minute so let me answer some questions real fast..  First, it's Navy Blue, not Black but the lighting wasn't very good for the picture.  I'll post another after my camping weekend.  Second, I was learning guitar up until diagnosis, so I do play kinda..  I actually play accoustic (ironic, eh?) but what you see in the background are my guitars for Rock Band..  Jenni and I LOVE playing that together but rather than fight over who plays guitar (I STINK at drums), I got another so we can both play.  She's actually really good at drums, but likes the guitar (on Rock Band).  I've vowed to pick up my real accoustic again soon since I haven't picked it up since surgery (with some prodding from Cheri that is).  ;)

After looking at the picture again, I look like quite the mountain man in it.. 

I'll post more pics that better show the color, but for now I'm off to camp with my daughter for the weekend!  Pray for no more rain for us!  With any luck, I'll be horseback riding for the first time since surgery.  Yea!  :)

Regards,
Brian

Enjoy your camping, Brian.  Hope the weather does cooperate - the rain is starting to get to me a bit here...

Can't wait to hear how the horseback riding goes!  Perhaps a picture of that as well???
