How many days would ISF be? Just hopping over the big pond for a week-end w/o some sightseeing would be a big shame. > Someone who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend? You could turn in petition to my bosses.

I need to show him how my MX-experience ...ummm... "spurred" my enduro skillz. Cheers, Volker "Wo der BARThELd den Most holt"... -- @: I N F O at B A R T H E L D dot N E T 3W: www.bartheld.net

(One for Tiago and one for Volker) I got a "new to me" 7x14 Wells Cargo recently, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Two or three in the truck, and four in the trailer. (I was already planning on bringing the Pampera 280, '94 FE350 Husaberg, '04 GG EC300, '06 GG DE300. That leaves room for Scrape's bike(s), and maybe Spodely's.) I'd like to meet you in person, Volker, and I'd really like to see any party with Tiago again. August 2010, Idaho; be there!

I have an older electric Singer (195x, maybe) that's almost as good as Grandma's machine. Heavy black, no zigzag, just a stitch-length adjustment and the usual tension adjustments. The Husqvarna has a number of fancy stitches and oilite bearings, for which I had theretofore had much contempt. I emailed a Viking distributor asking about how to oil the machine ($3 at an estate sale) and it blew my mind when she said it wasn't necessary. It hadn't been used for a long time and ran very slowly at first, but sped up after a while. I got a set of attachments for it for a buck at an Armenian rummage sale. I'd use it more if I had a good place to use it and if it weren't at the bottom of the stack of boxes from my mom's condo that I should really deal with pretty soon now. -- Cheers, Bev ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bender: And so I ask you this one question: Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
From: SloCalSpode on 13 Nov 2009 16:52 P1 was at the top of my alternate list the year Tiago attended SpodeFest. Since Tiago had some Visa issues for a while. I got a $100 I'll put towards a proper and deserving SPODE scholarship candidate. Maybe we can support two folks this time.

Idaho? Abusing Wudsracer's bikes...? ;-) Keeps getting better and better! That would allow bringing my GF (highschool-teacher, holidays, you know the story), along - if "chixx who ride" are tolerated...? It'll take a while to persuade her - as it did when we went to Turkey early this year for some offroad fun (see [1] for a few impressions) - but after some whining, she'll be in, I think.
