Well I have a bunch of Mini pipe parts here I will never use, im sure I can throw togather a Mini set here, but pipes from pakistan a long time for shipping. They can turn a junk set out in a few days, but shipping takes for ever. The shipping is about $25 and if you want it through ups its about $85, and I think by Boat (8-10 weeks) its $9.50, and by Camel $5 plus tip.

But honestly I don't pick sides for the sake of "picking sides". If I do reply to a post it's because I feel strongly for the cause, and let's face it, this NG has basically two types of people, the elite and the begginers, and I don't expect it's hard to tell whose who, or how they'll feel about most subjects. I often weigh in on JM's posts because they're mostly just opinions on day to day issues that are only loosely related to piping, and when I see a strong opinion I disagree with, I react equally strongly. But it doesn't mean I dislike John just because I don't agree with him. I really think JM is giving a couple of people a hard time here just to give them a hard time, so I react predictably. You don't need to be a mechanic to decide if you want a rusty volkswagon or a shiny new vette, so on some things my opinion DOES count more than a person whose never heard or evaluated a certain product.

You will probably need to stitch/graft Angus to your person somehow, possibly with sinew. I'd also add some sort of electronic theft detection device in there, too. Seriously, though, I think Velcro would be too "sticky/permanant" when playing. I would just want the bag "sticky" enough to stay in place and not have to worry about it sliping into an uncomfortable position. What kind of cloth cover does Angus sport? You might try another type of cloth with some texture to it. If you are playing a hide bag, you could discard the cover and try that. What kind of bag does Angus have? Oh, I not sure I like how I worded that one. :/ Pat Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy. - - To unsubscribe to bagpipe, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe bagpipe" in the body of the message.

What kind of bag does Angus have? > Oh, I not sure I like how I worded that one. :/ LOL!!!!!!! I'll leave that one alone! Angus has a cotton velvet bag cover that I made for him with a tatted lace dragon on the outside. This really helps on THAT side but . . . for the competition, I got this really nice "silky" blouse and am making (in-between my log-ins) a vest from rayon twill suiting material. Knowing what I know about fiber (my second life), this is a deadly combination. Hanging on to Angus with these fibers will be much like holding a greased pig! I'm not sure the suiting will be as bad and maybe the blouse will grip the dragon. I'll have to get it all finished and try it before the weekend, eh? BTW . . . Angus has a hide bag :) :) :) I'm, at the moment, still going for the small piece of velcro. I have 5 days to experiment. . . . here I go!!!!!!!!! - -- Love and Light be with you, Maeve . . . in sunny Florida http://people.delphi.com/terralyn terride@sanctum.com - - To unsubscribe to bagpipe, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe bagpipe" in the body of the message.

I was going to send this post privately to John but thought I would put it here just so everyone knows how much help John was to me. John, you were sent to me by the Angels of Mercy!!! IT WORKED!!!!! John gave me a tip for my birls that has worked brilliantly well for me!!!! I was telling Sandy Keith last week that I could hit one out of a hundred birls correctly . . .he laughed and said I would have to do a little better than that. This morning, I used John's help and . . . . I played . . and . . . I hit three out of four!!!!! Now if I could just convince my confidence that the birls will be there when I need them and quit hesitating on them, I'll do fine!!!!!! I have 5 days to build confidence now that I can do it! Thank you, John! IT WORKED!
