Regrettably, MontanaFest has been canceled this year. Many things have conspired to bring Ruthie and me to this difficult decision. We sincerely hope to bring you this great festival and celebration of woodworking next year. Lee

I'm afraid to edit it, code has been altered when I've done that in the past. I just hope that most are more concerned with the message than the spelling.LeeMontanaFest

I don't suppose most would even notice the spelling, but it was one of my own 'shibboleth' words so i learned it in camera before going public. Not an important thing, except that an ounce of appearance is worth a pound of performance.
Colleen, I apologize for misspelling that word. It does seem odd that you get hung up on one misspelled word rather than the message but I will congratulate you. You found a flaw. I hope others are more charitable.LeeMontanaFest
No apology nor congratulations necessary, Lee. We all do what little we can to help one another along. I'm just delighted i could do my part.
See? It IS karmaraderie.
What goes around.... <G>
You know what's tragic? I learnt that word bec it was hard for me, but now i'll never be able to write it again without looking it up.
Hey, you and Alice should attend Lee's gig and then come over and visit a spell. I'm almost sure to have indoor plumbing by then and the couch folds out.
Lee
Hey. Can't wait. I'm in for sure, and I'm hauling the camper, so reserve me a space in line for the shower. Dave Howerton is also in, and he's gonna bunk in my camper, as far as I know.
Jeff
Hey Jeff, that's great! The shower is open 24 hours a day. If this year is more typical weather-wise I suspect it will get more use than last year but if a line forms we'll see to it that another shower is made available.I got a message from Dave, he's coming and is going to do a workshop on fire safety, a great topic since yet another shop burned to the ground. It's going to be great to see you guys again.LeeMontanaFest
Well, she came for a spell at our place, now we get to have one at hers. Not only that, she will let ya pee on her posies, never mind the plumbing. Spelling and peeing are fun!

A spell, ya know...sorta like an incantation...or a seance. We give Jim three glasses of wine and then Mrs. Jim tries to contact the dead.
Am I reading too much into that?
Probably not.
Poor Lee...he's going to have to start a whole new Fest thread.
Four glasses of wine and I can do it myself!

FIVE glasses of wine and i can....
...well, i can fertilize a lot of posies. Spelling goes to hell, though. :^(

One more of these and I'm going to CAST a spell -- on you!
Promises, promises...though i do prefer a future tense to a dangling participle.
Dangling his participle was a threat to his gerund.
Not as scary as getting an appositive in the semi-colon, though.
Oh, durn, ya got me on that one. I'd have to look it up and, well, I've already had two glasses of wine and don't want to spell anything. Tell me -- is Montana a real word? Ends in a vowel so it must be Italian.
Well, yes Montana is a real word. I know you are the sports freak that i happen to be, but this entire state was named after the best quarterback in the history of the National League. We narrowly escaped being called "Joe", in fact. Before that, the area, roughly the size of Alaska and Texas combined, was a balkanized group of glazed-over hippies from the Missoula area called the "Jeanette Franklinites of Perpetual Peace Marches", who combined with the Bozemanian enclave, "Ski Bums Who Can't Afford Vail", and the Billings Group, comprised of "The Ram Toughs" and the "Cowmen in Fords", formerly bitter rivals. Great Falls insisted on sneaking in despite the female protest that there were already quite enough Minutemen and they could take their silos elsewhere. We tried to keep it quiet, but Butte set up a union blockade at the borders so no television got in or out. It took one whole snowy winter without Laverne and Shirley before we finally caved and let them join.
The State Motto is "Oro y Plata", which folklore holds is the name of Captain Kirk's hairdresser in the original Star Trek series. If you look closely at the symbology in the state seal, you can see the subtle references to a time warp in the upper quadrant, which is the reason i'm still wondering what this "Beatles" stuff is all about. It's only recently i found out who wrote the book of love.

"We narrowly escaped being called "Joe", in fact." ROFL!! Ooo, I have his rookie card, wanna buy it??
anyone else not getting Splintie's picture up there? I seem to be experiencing rejection when it comes to images sent or posted by Colleen. LOL.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
It only worked when I clicked on it. I didn't know the part about Joe Montana, either, but at least they didn't name it after Jim MacMahon (Chicago Bears smartass)!
Damn, Woman, you make me laugh....thanks...
Good gawd, i'm surrounded by Jims of varying inflection!
Hey Lee, I thought I saw a cancelation to the gig over on the WC forum. It looks like the invitation is still on over here. Did you forget?
I started a new thread in which I announced the cancellation of MontanaFest this year, Keith. I hope everyone saw it but apparently you didn't. There were no responses and this software can bury threads when that happens. I'll go bump it up.Lee
You might consider editing this post in light of the cancellation, just so folks don't get their hopes up. :)
Good idea,Lee
