Carolina's Shoutout...and region

[rdb]

Hey, Shadowsbane! It's nice to see newcomers in the area, Guess we're not quite a dying breeed.

So far, there's a half dozen in this thread, that's a good sign, but I'll bet there's at least a half dozen more.

Tom's info was great. It's nice to know that the TLC community is still working at things, and the hidestoart guys are great ( Between their shows out in Western NC, and the little demo at Zack's that I attended, their working it.)

For those people not in NC, it's a fairly big state. From the raleigh area it's two hours to anywhere. For someone to get to Ashville from Charlotte, or Wilmington to Ramseur, etc, it's a bit of a haul.

There's quite a few people who like to be involved with the TLC groups, and there's a lot of us who prefer a different tack. It'a all good as far as I'm concerned.

Because we're all spread out, it's like ships in the night. Some go to TLC, some to Zack's, some to both. Then there's the people that don't deal with either. Myself, I end up at Zack's once a week just about, if not more when a special need pops up. I'm half an hour away, so if you plan on going some time, I'ld be glad to lock the shop for a bit, and head on out. Come the warmer weather, I'll be on my bike. It's been pretty funny bringing home rolls of leather on the back of the harley.

If anyone is passing through Chatham, let me know. I'm in the shop most days, except for a store run, or a quick ride.

I'll be in the Carolina chat room for awhile tonite...y'all come on down
