Well It will be soon time for me to go back across the pond and return to the USA. Got my shop and house hold good picked up by the shipping company, One of my 2 cars on a boat heading for LA, soon moving out of this rental and into Temp housing for about 10 days and home. I havnt been home to the states in almost 4 years. Come Sept 2 Ill be retired after 42 years with the DoD. From 2008 -June when I return home, Ive only been in the USA about 3 years and not inna row, So About time right:>D
Im about 3 weeks out. I So thought Id like to thank the guys I met here in the UK for their great hospitality and their help over the last (close to) 4 years.
The ones that come to mind are Garry Martin, Ian the Woodworking Wizard, Paul (Green Fever), The double P Peter Parfitt , Phil and festool for bringing out all those great tools and bling out in support of my BBQs. ( Im sure Im forgetting a few more people for give me).
You guys have been more then helpful to me, thanks for everything. If yas ever make it to Sunny SoCal not to be confused with NoCal , (inside joke for us Californians) ,
Please let me know, Mrs Jobsworth (soon to be back to Mrs Sancho) will have her grill going and some great Mexican food waiting on ya.
While Im at it,
Id like to give a shout out to the Girls at Festool service who as I tell them over the phone are my future ex wives , thanks for all your help and paience with me even when I called ya for help ordering parts you know I want the thing that hooks onto that thingy on the 1010, even the one time I had my ROTEX in for service, you ladies were great,
Shout out to Warrens Festool gangsta crew at Toolfest the lady that answers the phone was great to work with, she was especially helpful patient chasing down all the little bits and especially with the times I told them I want the thingy that....
All the folks who came to my BBQs and brought their favorite things to show off to us give us ideas and of course cost me money buying them after I see them (Gerry Martin is the worst when it comes to getting into my pocket buying some of things he brought)
I learned quite a bit while I was here to. So Im heading home with a good line up of NAINA tools and accessories Plus some new useful knowledge on tools , finishes and techniques,are just some of things I learned while I have been here.
So to all the folks here, thanks for everything.
See on the other side of the pond....
Jobby, soon to be sancho again and eating Chicago Dawgs, Chili Dawgs, in and out burgers, Sunday Brunches at my favourite Mexican resturaunt sitting on the patio in the sun drinking strawberry Margaritas hehehehehe Oh and mylemon tree, I miss the heck out of my lemon tree [tongue]
