120753 Thieme <jthieme@m...> 2003‑08‑09 Bio update
I'm mostly a lurker on the Porch, but thought I'd update my bio.  Things 
have changed quite a bit in the past month.  We've moved from Syracuse, 
NY to the Memphis, TN area.  Moving stinks, but southern hospitality is 
certainly alive and well in Memphis.  We enjoyed living in Syracuse, but 
it's amazing how much different (and nicer) it is here.

I've found three woodworking retailers:  Colco, That Wood Joint, and The 
Woodworker's Store.  That's two more than we had in Syracuse.  I'm still 
searching for a good source for rough cut lumber.  I also haven't had 
time yet to look for rusty tools.  Any pointers on either of these would 
be much appreciated.

The biggest disappointment about the Memphis area is the lack of 
basements.  My old shop wasn't big, but it was conveniently located in 
its own space just down a flight of stairs.  Now the tools are sharing 
space with a minivan.  That's going to take some time to get used to.

Thanks for listening.
