    wow that was fast, ordered it Friday 6/12, received it Monday 6/15. It shipped from British Columbia pretty damn fast, not to mention the shipping was free!

    Here are the pics, we'll have to set up a date to do the transaction...

    Jesus that's a big pot. Can't wait, Roger! (well.. I could ). That lense is super clear! I didn't know Olympus did DSLR.. great stuff!

    haha well... we can try this weekend. i'll try to find some jars quickly. Carrie and I will be headed to the east coast on vacation starting next friday. we'll be gone for a week, so we should try to setup a time to meet this weekend.

    Olympus is fairly new to the DSLR community, but they're built on the 4/3rd standard. it has its advantages and disadvantges, but i like the size/weight advantage the standard holds and the quality of the glass.

    I got some wide mouth mason jars we can use. If you guys don't object I'm planning on transfering the wax into the jars on Thursday night. I can get together any time this weekend except mid/late afternoon because my parents are coming to visit for an hour or two.

    Hey guys I just wanted to shoot this idea out to you all and see if anyone would be interested.

    We have a Norcal member by the name of Norcal Bob who happens to run a detailing business and has a shop located in Fremot. I messaged him asking if he would be humble enough to host a meet at his shop and he's more than happy to do so. I'm just gauging interest to see if you guys would like to so. Possibly learning some new things and maybe do a bbq or a potluck or something along those lines.

    that's a great idea skurzhun, I'm down.

    So Aaron/SpecC, we need to setup a time this weekend.... i got the waxes separated into the jars, so it's all ready to go. Last night i tried giving one pot a hot water bath to get to wax to melt down and it worked pretty well. Do you guys have a preference? I can do it to the second pot also, let me know. Anyways, saturday seems to work for all of us, I assume Aaron will be in Newark, but where in San Jose will you be SpecC? We can try to meet somewhat in the middle.

    I'd definitely be down to meet up if it's still being considered.

    If there is a NORCAL BBQ/Meet I may take a day or two off and drive down for it.

    Thanks, Aaron, but I'm good. I just bought the Makita 9227c in the for sale section of this forum. It'll be here Friday, and I'll finish up my tC this weekend if my friends don't want a detail first.
