I got to see this 1st hand the other night. My Brother-In-Law's brother (Dennis) was my primary petition sponsor, and has been great keeping me informed though my first 2 degrees (3rd degree in three days!!). Dennis is a City Councilman in my small town, a 40+ year Mason, and volunteers his...

I will do what I can...I'm no expert by any means!! shoot me an email at: nelson143 ( at ) scbglobal.net Ed

Congrats!! I'm waiting for the ceremony team to finish practicing for my 3rd degree. I was told 3 weeks (a week ago), so mine should be before the end of the year.

I have a personal website and a blog, but it is expensive to keep up (about $100 a year with the domain and hosting... www.ednelson.us and www.ednelson.us/blog). It's not nearly as easy or clean as a Facebook page is. I have tried several different programs for site building, and CoffeeCup...

A few years ago, I would have laughed, but that's about the time I lowered by motorcycle's suspension 2003 Suzuki Volusia). The lowering looked awesome, and I took my wife with me for a few rides. When I would hit a bump or pothole, I would hear a "shhhhppp" sound. It was annoying, but I...

When I received my 1st degree, we all had refreshments after, which included a cake that read "Congratulations, Brother Nelson". I knew I was a Brother from the beginning!

I have been considering asking my WM if I can start a Facebook page for our lodge and offer to Admin and update the page. Facebook has become so ubiquitous, it seems natural for lodges to have a Facebook page for member to check for info on meetings, degrees, practices, fundraisers, etc. It may...

Tuesday night, I met with my local lodge and performed my FellowCraft proficiency. It went well, with only 2 small stumbles in the memorization. Not as clean as my EA proficiency (which I nailed), but everyone was pleased, so I can't beat myself up too bad :) I was told that my 3rd degree...

Hey Clovis! Orland, California FC member here (Orland Laurel #245). I'm on the cusp of doing my proficiency (probably in November). If you are traveling north, be sure to stop by :) Ed

Congrats! I receive my Fellowcraft tomorrow night...the wait (6 weeks since my EA proficiency) has been killing me.

Dude...you smoked my DSL speeds!

There is a wood lathe on my local Craigslist for $100 and it's killing me not to get it. I have nowhere to use or even store it. I haven't used a wood lathe in 25 years (4 years of wood shop in High School), but as soon as I saw the listing, I really, really, had the urge. I was also thinking...

I'm partial to this one...looks great!

Not a 1911, but .45acp is guaranteed to stop the zombies!

Thanks! Everyone can use a contract now and again :)

I just completed my 1st degree, and thought the memorization would be the death of me. I'm 43 years old, and haven't had to memorize anything significant in years. I started at the beginning, and it was going well, then I hit a wall and just got frustrated. I ended up putting it away for a...

That makes sense. Although if the investigating committee are voting members, it's just a (necessary) formality, as the petitioner is pretty much guaranteed to fail the vote.
