meetings

[zaireguy]

Hey

What do you guys think of meeting once a month on a sat somewhere to eat and talk salt? Maybe head to psp or garys or take a road trip to a lfs.(phishy or saltycritter)

Think it would be cool just to get together once a month! I enjoyed talking to Dwayne sat and thought it would be cool tojumpin a car and hit someof the spots.

[MACDad]

I think that would be great. The only problem is that I can't afford to go to a fish store once a month. It would be cool to get together on a regular occasion though.

hey as long as I'm not On-call and you guys stop me from buying any more fish

[MBuck]

I work afternoons, and am on 7 dyas until the end of time, well, they said at least easter wkd:rolleyes: Nut if I can get to one, I would absolutely loves to! I do hope that "you guys" refers to "us gals" too:D

Just let me know when. I always love a trip to Salty, don't belive i have ever gone in there without buying something!!

[hllywd]

What we ran into before is I can't be there on a given day or you can't be there on a given day, or the only day that's good for somebody is that day, etc... I think the better way to go about it is set a time and place and if you can be there fine, if not, you aren't being excluded you just can't make that meeting, or gathering, or whatever you want to call it. No big deal, we're not taking attendance. I think monthly with this group may be ambitious, why not make it every other month to start, get things rolling and see where it goes. At any given date there can be a "drop dead" commit date if you're going to be there, we could set an unofficial quorum of say 5 or 6 people just to insure against one person showing and nobody else... Just some ideas, one thing I've learned as Union Pres. is that you will NEVER (one of the few absolutes I know) please everybody and if you try you're setting yourself up to fail...
I don't know who will all be there but maybe we could have an informal talk about this at the swap if there's a few of us there...:cool:

I think your right set a day and time and who ever can make it great.I would only be able to make sats since we are on 6 days a week right now.But I think I would be a good thing

[bigbenji]

Let's make a trip to salycritter or tropicorium, maybe we'll be able to get a group discount. It would be a nice excuse to head to one of them anyway. :D Set a date and time and I'll try to be there.

[Mike_McBrien]

I agree, but i highly doubt I will be able to go/do anything for a while, so i cannot personally get this setup, but I am all for it!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[zaireguy]

well of course a trip to mich would be awesome.gals also :)

[bigbenji]

I think if we can get 10 people to go at the same time, the place would have to offer us a discount of some sort. :D

[MBuck]

Yeah, Mich would be good, do it in the next couple weeks, and I'll call off that day, as long as one of you drive a truck so I can get my 150g that's waiting on me!!!!:D

[zaireguy]

Awwww crap... that went over my head....:rolleyes:

:D

[zaireguy]

lol..its ok tim

[hllywd]

.

[hllywd]

Dang....:rolleyes:

[MBuck]

It's all coming back to me now, why I am single....cuz if i want it done, I have to do it myself anyways!!!;)

I just talked to the guy, BTW, and he has a friend coming to help him bring it out of the basement....see, it wouldn't be THAT bad!!!:D

It is a 150g, drilled, not sure where, i haven't seen it yet, for $125.00, no stand.....keep an eye out for me!! It is a standard, 6'L X 18"D X 24"T


Thanks!! Always knew I could count on the RC guys!

Hey OneThunder, wanna help me get my tank?? ( I bet she'd gladly offer a hand to a fellow female reefer!!!):rollface:

[hllywd]

I hope it's not the same guy where I got my 58, huh Dwayne??? I don't know how he got that tank down those stairs in the first place...:eek1: :eek2: :eek1: j/k I doubt he's selling that any time soon.


Marie, That sounds like a good buy...:thumbsup:

[hllywd]

hmmmmmm.... Dang how do we get sooooooo off topic??? Somebody needs to throw a date and place out there.... I would but the first date I could make would be 4/22 and that's my whole point not to work around 1 person's schedule unless there's some complling reason...

[MBuck]

What?

Dwayne helped YOU get a tank?? And since then he has developed a sixth sense, and knows his back will be hurting when I want to go pick up mine????

Darn the bad luck.....if it's any consolation Dwayne, I hope your back feels better when it starts hurting!!:confused:

I thought it was a good buy too, the only thing I am concerned about is that he said it was drilled on the bottom...do I add a standpipe to it, or is there some way to control the flow, etc... I am talking specifically if the power goes out, what will stop it from draining into the sump?

[MBuck]

You're absolutely right Hllywd... I apoligize for going off topic! Pick a day, and I will call off to be there...unless it's double time...:D

It will have a standpipe or divider or something. Won't work otherwise.:cool:

LOL thanks I guess :)

Tim that was a 125 that guy had down there. Also there is no way in h e double hockey sticks that I would help move that tank from his basement even if he gave it to me.

[hllywd]

I'd be afraid of falling through the stairs let alone making the 180 turn...:eek2: :eek1: :eek2:

[Dubbin1]

Marie if you REALLY need help then give me a shout. I'll make Ron help too :)

[MBuck]

Thanks Dubbin, no need, I'll manage, just ribbing you "guys" a little bit.


I own a truck, and I'll locate help, everyone's up for a free meal when they help me, so the "help" part shouldn't be a problem!!

I am ready for the swap!! Then at the meeting and I can put a face to all you guys, that will be nice. I am in Bucyrus alot, and thought about stopping by Ron's to see his tank, but never think to PM him first!

Do you guys have a decent LFS over in Findlay, or is it limited to PSP??

I wouldn't mind traveling to Toledo to check out Gary's or something. I have been in there one time, right after he moved..
tanks were a little too high, but seemed otherwise well cared for...

[MBuck]

Keep us up to date on the tentative schedule for the NORA meeting!! Good night, talk to most of you tomorrow!:sleep:

Hey OneThunder, wanna help me get my tank?? ( I bet she'd gladly offer a hand to a fellow female reefer!!!):rollface: [/B] Sure if I'm not on call. You need a truck? I can bribe hubby to use his. :lol:

[zaireguy]

you could stop by but right now all you would see is a empty tank,I did get my seio`s so that`s one more piece of the puzzle

Dwayne over ruled my meeting thread...lol
