Rodger made me an offer, albeit not truly a fair one: his own handmade bowl for one of my birdhouses. I was a bit shocked by this but it was something I knew would be special. So, he not sent not only the bowl but a book written about his experiences in Vietnam, a great bunch of cigars, a Nubber and a cool card. The note was especially nice too! Thanks Rodger for being a great member of this forum!!

    That's awesome! An author and a woodworker! Impressive. Is the book available for purchase in hardcopy or Kindle? Would love to read it.

    Amazing and very personal hit. Good form Rodger!

    By the way, I'm about a third of the way through that book. It's very cool to get a glimpse into Rodger's past. Also a very good read!

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    Ah shucks guys. I got a really nice upscale birdhouse and Shizz slipped in a bomb of sticks I have been wanting to try. Good trade on this end too. image image

    I'm with you on that one. That's what drew me here in the first place.
