Cool
Just what I was hoping for info wise. krux: 12-22nd gah I just now realize, 10 days with the inlaws. I may not make it. If I can take anything home, it will have to be scoop and go, on the way to the airport. Anybody ever hand carry SPS? I am wondering if it will be a problem. |

I believe the BBQ is Aug 21st so that could be a possibility... Depending on when you bought it maybe someone in the area could hold it until the day you left or so... I am also sure one of the stores Like Upscales could also bag it and ship it to you if you like... I would check with the Airline you are going back on and see their policies... I have heard bad stories of someone Trying to carry on Corals and having some pretty major problems and in the end not being able to do it..

Plus he's also elbows deep into his new tank.... |

Upscale is your best bet, Travis will hold what you buy and FedEx it to you. Soulta's will do the same but he is much more expensive for similar stuff. I have tried taking stuff back on the plane a few times, pre 9-11 was much easier and now it is almost impossible if you try to be honest. |

I think the Neon sign would be a blessing compared to Verizon digging thru the neighborhood and yards running FIOS... A process I dred but cant wait for here as well..

Yes, I'm still around. I have a project going on right now and with my busy day work, Rainbow had to take a back seat... but I am still getting shipments in.
When my personal project is all done, I'll post pics. I barely have time to post. Shoot me an e-mail anytime. You guys are always welcome. I thought the MH lights are a dead give away. |

Thanks for the tips!
I only made it to Upscales but it was awesome. Great selection and prices we can only dream about down here. Even paying shipping I felt like I got a great deal. I sure wish I could have made it to yalls meeting! I just couldnt make it work out with the family. |
