january meeting?

[manderx]

anyone interested in a january meeting? i can host again if nobody else wants to (i've gotten a few toys since the last time), but it'll be cramped and sucky if it's cold enough that everyone has to be inside at the same time.

[Shivaji]

I could host on Friday 17th if folks want come to Radford.

Way to step it up Shivaji. I would love to check out your tank. Maybe while we are up there we could check out the other radford tanks. Cheers and happy new years to you all.

Thanks Coleen - I was still in December 2004 - guess it is Friday the 14th, January 2005 ...

Sweet. I will just be getting back into town. I hope I can host a meeting sometime soon...I am guessing like 2-3 months if things turn around for me.

Is Mon 17th or any other day than Fri 14th possible? I'd like to join, but it is the only day I'm traveling this month.

I can do Saturday the 15th of January too - my wiife will be out that weekend presenting a paper at Lexington, Ky, and then I will be out at meetings at Richmond the next week. I do not think Mondays work for most of us, and since school starts next week for me this weekend is it.

What do folks think ???

[JNG567]

sat would be bad for me because I have to work, but if that day is best for the rest its no big deal.

[manderx]

the weather looks like it will be nasty on friday evening- 44 and rain that day, then the temp drops to 16 that night.

[mbort]

Saturday works better for me... and maybe for the weather too.

[Shivaji]

OK - Saturday it is then. I just got hit by a "mandatory meeting" on Friday afternoon at work anyway, which would make it a bit tight for me.

Since it is Saturday, we could probably meet a bit earlier than the usual 6:30 PM - any preferences ?

Directions and final details in a couple of days ...

[rbattle]

How about like 2 or so, as to be just after lunch?

Rush

[Shivaji]

OK by me - consensus ?

[manderx]

it's a plan

[hokiefish]

2pm Saturday. Ill be there.

[manderx]

directions?

[WILDTHING]

I need directions too please. Or an address so I can map quest...

mbort & others - from Rte 11 to Radford

I wanted to come but I had to work, could have come by and seen my tank too. maybe another time

[Shivaji]

Glad you guys could come by - too bad I missed the "party before the party". Thanks for the frags too.

Sorry you missed it Nick - we will do it again and hopefully I will get my stuff in better shape by then.

[hokiefish]

Thanks Shivaji. You have a great tank setup and I really like your philosophy...simple and easy.
