I have an antique hand crank coffee grinder, will that work ? Jimi
No offense... I'll skip the coffee. I already made sure Don O doesn't use his coffee grinder, I should have guessed you did. ;0) (before anyone sends me a list of reasons on why to use the coffee grinder, I'm already thinking of purchasing a spare coffee grinder for this reason. Even though I am the only coffee drinker in this house) Deb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Desert Eagle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 9:46 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] LLama Wool ? > Remind me to have coffee with you before we discuss flies and tying...8^) > Jimi > > > Deb, > This is where I get jumped on again for my unsophisticated ways. . .but, > hey!
