Lookin good Bryan.

The Goat is on hold for the weekend, as I have a bunch of stuff I need to get ready for the show this weekend. Tonight I need to stain the display case I've been making at work. Then it's gonna get lacquered in the morning while I'm on the job. Pickin it up after work when I get my check and headin to KC. So, being the procrastinator that I am, I'm now rushin to get it done tonight, lol. I'll learn one of these days! I'll get some pics of it after I get some stain on it, and get them posted tonight.
