UPDATE
just to let everyone know that didn't see my post on my Ken D BUECHE page,,,,

I lost my house and studio/shop, pretty much everything in the flood.
Did manage to save my truck and most my tools. At this time I don't think I lost anyone's order I was working on.

Just doing best I can right now to get work done and rebuild everything.
Thanks
Ken
