You have to make sure your USB is clean before you insert it. No cobwebs, or stuff like that. You could short your USB.  :D

I made it home yesterday.  Pff it was only 4225 miles return.  :)   I brought back 8 pieces of iron so that is only 528 miles per piece.   ::)  But, for the next convention I might fly and bring back only 1 or 2 pieces.

But I got to see two dead wild boars and an armadillo in Texas and a live wild peacock by the road in Montana...go figure?

I stopped at a number of flea markets/antique shops on the way but the items were all over priced and dirty.  Not like the expertly cleaned and seasoned pieces that I bought at the convention.

Snow followed me through Wyoming and Montana and is now falling here in Calgary.  It is a balmy 33 F here today but the ground is still warm enough for the snow to melt and disappear.

Mike how was highway 83? It sounds as if you had a good time going home. It was 83 here today and very humid with rain on the way. It was good to meet you, see you in PA. next year.

Mike, I'm glad you had a safe trip home... especially with all that iron! ;)

Terry said no more flea markets unless you and Scott are with us. ;D

Thanks all for showing kindness to a brash Canadian.  I enjoyed myself aye!

MD ...your hwy 83 suggestion was great, a nicely paved road all the way to the Rapid City turn off with many small towns to coast through.

Upon getting to Rapid City I was told I was fortunate to have taken 83 as the west side of the state had over 6 inches of snow and schools etc had been canceled.

There was a few stretches of white knuckle driving in white out conditions and slippery sections in Wyoming and Montana.  Had to take it off cruise control a few times and slow down.  ;D

I'm smilin' Keep them coming. I need to know who is who in the pictures. I've never met anyone from Wags yet. Except Ray Benash.

Ditto except I've only met Chuck in person and his iron hound, partner, and the watch cat - really enjoying these photos for sure. Thanks for posting them up. Nice to put names on faces. Michelle's pans are a favorite to me so far I like those single lipped pans. I'm left handed though  8-) Those handles are sharp. Katrina - nice #12 set. I have a set just like that, just cooked with mine a couple days ago. My #12 and #10 skillets get the most use.

Hey - don't know if anyone noticed but Greg's cast iron shrunk!

Probably posted elsewhere, but where's the PA convention going to be held?

Doh! It was right up top. Just posted a request that Perry bring some of those monster chickens to go with the pig roast.
