[crw-talk] Meeting Notes

Wed Nov 25 12:34:20 CST 2020

Face Book is something I mostly avoid, but sometimes I visit that rabbit 
hole and try not to crawl too far into it.  Actually there is an 
enjoyable group called "Woodchuckers" that is woodturners showing off 
their creations, asking questions and chatting about, what else, 
woodturning.  Having said that, I have not looked at it since early this 
month and my life is generally better when I don't.  I tried pitching my 
turnings on it, people would say they liked it; but no sales ever 
resulted from it that I'm aware of.

I have an Instagram account that I signed up for touting my on-line 
Etsy.com shop but that is a complete mystery.  You almost gotta be a 
teenager to fully understand it and I'm afraid I'm never going to be one 
of those again!  If the pandemic ever slows enough so we can visit the 
grandkids, I am going to get some hands-on experience in using it.

John
