Hopefully, DGenR8 will be flying into Chicago tomorrow in time to make it for the tour! He is more than welcome to stay at my house (I have a spare bedroom and I just baked some cookies)

It looks like I won't be attending. I have a funeral to attend on Saturday.

Sorry to hear. You have our condolences.

The funny thing about condolences is that when I asked Tammy's parents for permission to marry their daughter, I got nervous and asked for their condolences instead of their consent. I got both.
 
:mad: I missed my flight. I was SOOOO looking forward to those cookies, too :(
 
Grab the next flight out my man. It's going to be a fun filled day of debauchery.

I just cracked open my first beer!
 
So did you guys have fun on the Tour? It was a pleasure servicing you all. I didn't hear much feedback about Ocean Design. What did you guys think of them? Did you buy any more when you went back to Coral Reef to PU your stuff? What did you guys get from Menard's?

aiko, I hope those help the pup from eating your furniture. I think it's admirable that you foster dogs. :) Kalvin really missed humping a Hobbit.

Helter Skilter, Thanks for all your interest in my fish. I like the convict breeding idea--if I only had the room... I did keep 3 large, pregnant guppies in that lower tank so I could breed some of them. Glad you liked my plecos--so few folks take any interest in my FW fish.

Lil Squid, Thanks for all the vitamin c--I think i have enough for the next year now. Very clever hiding it everywhere (I was finding it for hours) but I don't think the biker that got hit in the head by the one you left on my windshield wiper appreciated it. :p Do you think it'll help my plant grow better?

DGenR8-I really missed you on the tour today. About halfway through the tour I was finally coming to terms with my grief that you would not be with us. Then, I saw this sign......................

I hope all you guys enjoyed your visit to my LFS of 20 years, Coral Reef. I really tried to make sure they had lots of stuff you'd enjoy there, especially the doghnuts!
 
Thanks to everyone that had a hand in organizing this event, I had a great time!

Puffy-
Thx for the rawhide, but I forgot it at Kmarts. I'm sure that Wyatt thanks you though.

You forgot your chew toy at K-Marts? Naughty is going to be upset if you start chewing the furniture again. We all know how you hobbits get when you don't have your chew toy. :D
 
Thanks to Frodo for helping out and to all who participated, it was a great day!! The weather was perfect. Coral Reef had some really nice stuff for us, great deals, and coffee/doughnuts. Good tip Puffy... and you did a great job serving us. :D Who would have thought to use a weed whacker to trim the Hobbits back...genius! :idea: Menard was a terrific host and his setup was nothing short of spectacular! We all had fun trying to wake up Krunchy... I think he got the message! LOL Ocean Design was generous with their discount and selection. Some good munchies and a lot of laughs were had there while playing "Hide the Cucumber". The ride to Puffy's was the highlight of the trip for me. Team Beef and Team Squid had a full blown road warrior battle on the way over there. The weapon of choice?? VITAMIN C!!!! They had us until we (Whimperer, Hansy ,Skilter, and myself) bailed out of the Beefmobile at a red light and unloaded handfuls of Vitamin C pills on them, victory was ours! :thumbsup: Puffy opened her home for the full tour of her 47 (J/K) beautiful fish/reef tanks. I think there was something for everyone to "C" there. She has a great sense of humor and dealt with the fact that we left a hundred or so Vitamin C pills strategically placed throughout her home (both inside and out) with stride. I hope your husband will still allow you to have guests over in the future. :eek: It was just our special way of saying "Thank YOU Puffy". :love1: Last but not least was the Mart's. They had something for everyone. Reefs, beer, pizza, clowns, and the infamous Calfo Brain! We sat in a circle and played "Hot Pickle" for hours. Juggy showed her appreciation by taking Kmart into the sump room several times to ask him questions on his "equipment". Frodo ate almost all of the chew toys that Puffy gave him before he left. They made us feel right at home. Thanks again to all who joined in, it couldn't happen without YOU!
