Big Meeting in Tri-Cities

[Angelscrx]

Ed, Wake up man! Pull up your diaper and go back to your room. This is after all a family affair.

 

[CarlaW]

You guys need to let him out more often!! I think he's been smelling his own socks again

 

[Ed Hahn]

I can only stay in my room so long. I can hardly lay my socks down next to me, My wife is always picking up after me. I can never find anything. I know is is just the excitement of seeing more people in this hobby. I love the thought of building a foundation, where we can see our friends once a year.

Angel,
Speaking of maps, I need one from the Hilton to Rick"s house. What are the possibilities of that happening?
Let me know and I'll PM you my e-mail address.

 

[Ed Hahn]

Charlie,
It will be a lot easier than last year. Last year we had to take people through detours, The bridge over Yakima River was closed. This year its a straight shot to George Washington Way from High Way. You will take Columbia Center Blvd to Highway,
High way takes you to G Way, Give me a call and I will give you a walk through of which streets to take. I will pm ya..

Les and I are building 3 AWESOME nano tanks for this years silent auction and raffel. They are about 5.5 gal acrylic with black backs, sump, pump, and 32 watt PC lighting with reflectors. Each tank stand and canopy is built from different wood, Cherry, Oak and Birch. The stands are built with raised face cabinet panels. I will get pictures posted up very soon. They are going to be very nice. Might want to bring your football shoulder pads for the silent auction, because everyone who has seen these is wanting them.

Rick

 

[luvnsalt]

I have to admit.... Rick is right! These tanks are awesome! As I stated last night....I must and will have one for my desk at work!

 

[Angelscrx]

Dashia, that's if can get past me. They are just way too cool to pass up! The work going into these things is just amazing. Less than 30 days to go.

If you buy your tickets online we will have your email address and will email maps out soon.

Thanks all.
