HO HO HO! I'M BACK
10 pages on posts, you guys have been busy, +85 emails to check
Had 3 seats to myself, slept 13 of the 14 hour flight, back to the dream world, until next year in Japan

Came home, kicked the cat, went to the garage,,,,,,not really,,,,
Congrats to the winners, there were 80 great puzzles, I am previlledged to be part of it, so much fun to play the puzzles by Roby, John, Ron, Mike, Derek, George, did I miss anyone?, not forgetting Peters incredible Trillium. I ran out of  Superglue

By the way, I have his other copy! Eat ya hearts out! Hee Hee. You are seeing the making of another great puzzler
Seed planting the mad Chinnomotto is now established, gimme 3 years

I'll post pics , most are already here, ( Matt has 495 pics!), and  I'll fill in the gaps

So nice of Lee to show us his workshop, yes no dust, Told him "I 'll keep my day job from now on," he laughed

Memories at IPP are  priceless, meeting the gang, esp  007 and Matt, now with faces, O so nice. Thanks for the fun, I had a great time there. The colour pencils concept was very well accepted, so was La Boomba

Time with Jillian,Heavenly,,,,,,,,gimme another 6 years,,,,Ha Ha

Hey GOD, your two disciples (Roby and I) were holding down the fort, I for one am glad your back...don't you ever leave for that long again  ...Roby was driving me crazy with his questions about 'freezing water', 'the moon', 'cannonballs', etc...  

Nice to see you back in your place of 'power and divinity'   

[Roby]

John, you were crazy long before I got my hooks into you.   

Chinney, great to see that you are finally back.  The forum was not the same without you.

[Arc Light]

Holy crap Chinny your camera makes me look like I have no hair!!! 

[Roby]

Sure blame it on the camera.   

[MarkMc]

Glad you made it back Chinny.  I took your egg and Peter's 2in2 puzzle into work today.  They were both huge hits!

Have you solved the puzzle of the secret puzzle yet?  I slipped another one in there when you weren't looking.  Hee Hee Hee, gotcha.

I really enjoyed meeting up with you guys at IPP.  Chinny, I have to agree with Peter, something is wrong with your camera.  I look kinda fat.   

007 no more, darn it.

Thanks again for the assistant's spot.

The pic I call the 3 Stogges

Hey, we are back together , 1 happy family

Mark, I will have to find your extra, I still have to refit the one Lee opened up

Thanks for your puzzles, you are too generous, now when is that next auction???

As for the Exchange, they know you more than they know me, I'm famous now

I spread the Eagles site whereever I went, a few more members soon

So good to see your Boxes at the museum Roby, thats called mixing with the BEST

George Hart was thrilled seeing his works there too

[jaurand]

Stephen,

Glad you made it safely home. I'm surprised they let you back into the country carrying La Boomba!

Great meeting you at IPP - nice work on the Chinnyhedron!

Ahh, I just got my care package from Chinney, but blast if my camera is not working right now.  I now have my own collection of Chinney tops, so I can stop being jealous of the rest of you. 

I even got a "peweter platypus puzzle"  (try saying that really fast several times in a row).  Stupid me, I pulled the tail and the entire thing fell apart.  I am still trying to figure out how to get the tinly peweter kidneys, intestines, heart and liver to fit back inside the silly creature.   

You know what this means John.  If I got my package today, yours should arrive in less than two weeks.  (Canadians and thier silly version of express mail).   

Thanks Chinney, these will all be nice addtions to my Chinney shelf between my egg and hellraiser.

Have you noticed they misprint Ry's name and it turned out its anagram?
The only way I will ever have to appear in that list

Woohoooooooo!  Just got my package, I'm absolutely mystified by the 'Pencil Crack Egg' as well as more 'Chinny Spin Tops' to add to my collection, I now have ten  including an amazing 'Pencil Spin Top'  of course Chinny also sent me some wonderful Pen blanks all of them 'native Australian woods' 

I was thinking that if I can get an invite to the next IPP, I might be willing to bring along my 'Chinny Spin Top Collection' to display at the event and I'd also like to add to my collection so if anyone would like to trade one of their 'Spin tops' for a Pen let me know

Thank you so much for everything, now I need to make some pens to send you...to be continued...............
