June Meeting

Hi everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is John Beckstrom and I am a good friend of Eddie Neil who is a member of your group. He told me about the meeting you are having this Saturday. Currently I have a fresh water tank, but have wanted to set up a reef tank for a long time now. I am currently finishing up nursing school so it will be a little while before I'm ready to set this tank up, but I am trying to learn as much as possible now about setting up a reef system. I am currently interested in the Red Sea Max system and I understand that a few members have that setup, so I would be interested in getting their feedback.

Anyway, I would be interested in joining you all on Saturday if you don't mind. I live in W. Knoxville. I would appreciate it if someone could send me directions to the meeting. Also, let me know if I can bring anything. I understand the meeting is at 1:00 pm, is that correct?

Thanks and looking forward to meeting new friends.
John
 
John~ You're more than welcome to attend... Usually everyone brings something (chips, dip, soda, beer, some type of dessert)... I don't have a Red Sea Max, but I have a couple of other types of nanos... Don (imsqueak) will be there and he has the RSM, so I'm sure he can fill you in on any info you might need... I'll PM you with directions...
 
Sure John....come on out!! We'd be glad to have you come out.

Hey Randy...I will look up a batter recipe for fried pickles and take care of that, ok?? Plus I'll bring a veggie tray so we can have some non-fried vegetables.
 
Thanks for the welcome everyone. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone on Saturday. Randy, do you need my e-mail address to send those directions? I think it's in my profile somewhere, but if it makes it easier, I can send it to you. Thanks.

John
 
John~ Go to the link "MY RC" at the top to check your Private Messages... :) You have one there from me including directions...
 
Oh, and Melly, I was counting on you for some double chocolate chip cookies!!!!! :D lol YUMMY!!!!!!!
 
No problem!!! You'll get used to navigating this site after a while... :) Its pretty user friendly... You can subscribe to forums and threads you want to keep track of and just log on to "MY RC" to view them all...
 
And TWINKIES!!!!!!! lol Sounds nasty to me, but still... I am intrigued with the idea of frying a snickers though...
 
I like pickels and they are great fried. :bum:
I'll bring some beer and something to go with a tenderloin that's not fried. I cant do fried anymore without "paying a digestive price".:thumbdown I have a new prescription for that so dont count me out.

Spinach Maria, or potatoes au gratin?
 
Alright Randy...double chocolate chunk cookies and I will skip the veggie tray. I mean I wouldn't want there to be anything remotely healthy at the meeting. hah hah.

I actually have most of the stuff to make those cookies, but I still need to look up a batter for fried pickles. My friend made them recently and they were pretty dang good, so I am hoping to get a good recipe.
 
Ok, I just got back from Sam's... I bought an 8 lb tenderloin... You guys reckon that will be enough??? If not, we can fry up some more stuff... :) I have onion rings, egg rolls, and cheese sticks... I think I have a few fries too... I didn't buy any pizza rolls... I thought about it... But I always remember my father cussing after parties because he bought things he normally doesn't eat...

Do I need to get anything else??? You guys that have hosted before need to help me out... lol ;) Maybe some soda???
 
Well you can ask someone to bring soda, but I always bought that because I didn't want to be without it in case someone did not come to the meeting (or I would just make sure it was someone I knew was going to come). I just got a couple of 2-liters (always diet dr. pepper...people love that).

Otherwise...sounds like you went a bit overboard! But I'm fine with that! hah hah.
 
Ok, I'll buy some soda... :) I don't normally drink it... Just milk, coffee, water and beer... ;)
 
Yeah it's pretty much water or alcohol for me. I rarely drink anything else. I've been craving mojitos like mad today...must be the warm weather.
 
mojitos??? I was talking to some people from Wales or something like that... And they drank this concoction of Lemonade and beer... Souds like a good idea... I'll probably try that sometime this summer...
 
This weekend? Sheesh. I zone out a bit and the meeting creeps up on me. I haven't even thought of updating the website yet. Can you PM me the directions? I'll try to update them tonight.
