David Marks won’t be there. He is filming his new DVD that weekend. I wish I was going to be there, but I will be on vacation with my wife in Lake Tahoe. When I tried to tell her that it was only 400 miles away, she then told me, well, I don’t think I can repeat what she told me. Anyway, I wish I was going to be there. You guys have fun.

For serious chow hounds, I recommend the buffet at the Paris Casino. You can ride there directly from the Hilton via Monorail. The food at the Paris buffet is a few notches up the typical, dorm food quality. And the dessert bar is the size of an ocean-going yacht!

I’ve heard great things about the buffet at the Rio. But it’s off the Strip. You’d have to drive over there or take a cab. And the traffic on and around the Strip can be a nightmare.

I’ve tried the buffets at Mirage and Luxor. They were just OK.

The “Kahunaville” restaurant at Treasure Island has an amazing Cuban Grilled Sandwich. That restaurant is kinda cool and very reasonably priced. The Mexican restaurant there, “Isla” is also very good, but it’s not open for lunch. The food at Isla is moderately priced, but be careful if you order a Margarita. Some of them are over a $100!

Sure! Could talk about being a woodworking student, or do a post-safety week follow up on all of my ridiculous woodworking injuries.

We do plan on doing some kind of WTO recording, but I am not sure how the whole audience thing would work. Recording is one thing, but amplifying our voices so people can actually hear us is a whole other ball of wax.

But I like the idea of a WTO with guests. Let me think on it. I am sure we’ll come up with something cool! Wanna be our first guest?
