Hey folks, time for a late spring BBQ and meeting, what do you think?

I am gonna be throwing some country ribs on the BBQ, and I am sure we can find something to talk about. Kim Martinson already has dibs on a plate of baked beans, so it is all up to the rest to fight it out for everything else. I think I want to collect our yearly fees this meeting also, so bring $25 and I will make sure you leave here full. There is also a distinct possibility that there may be some frags available, I need to do some thinning, really bad.

Come on up, bring whatever you are gonna drink and have some fun. If you want this to be kid friendly, we could do that too, I don't care, you have to watch em tho, that ain't my job.

I will send an e-mail out in the next couple of days.

Teasing you is the national pastime in Flathead valley.

Go this from Julie yesterday folks, is anybody interested??

Hi -

The lady at the Fair office called me back today. If the reef club wants to set up a booth with a fish tank display, the fair will let them do it for free this year. It is usually about $250 - but for our first year they won't charge.

The booth needs to have some one attending it from about 11 a.m. through 9 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday during the fair.

If the club wants to do this - I need to let her know early next week!

Thanks - jab

She need to know by early in the week, OK?

This meeting/BBQ wouldn't happen to correspond with someone turning a year older, would it???

I sure wish we could be there, but Madison has her Summer Dance Recital the same day. Otherwise, we'd be over there, for sure. We've really been needing to get out of town, and a meeting/bbq, along with spending time with a good friend, who just happens to be turning a year older, would be just the thing.

I hope you have a good turn out Charlie!!

Hey Michael, how ya been? I don't know, judging by the responses so far, I have more out of town people paying attention than locals.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean about turning a year older, could you clarify a bit???

[Parrothead]

Would Charlie happen to have a Birthday coming up, If I caught a greyhound tomorrow I might actually be there in time for this:eek3::eek3::eek3::eek3::eek3:

[Sarmo]

hey Charlie- wish we could be there. you know about Alison's Hula gig. to bad it's the same day. I sure hate missing out on your famous ribs. those have to be one of my all time favorites........ not to mention "ribbing" you about getting older

seems like the NWMRC has really slowed down I hope people have responded to your email?

Yeah, Rob, gonna miss you and Julie, and lets be serious about the email

[Sarmo]

maybe people are just drowned around here? the rain will certainly put a damper on everything.

on the up side- think how much you'll save on Ribs with me not being there

[charlie]

the way things are going, I may just be buying weenies

[Sarmo]

now that's a drop in quality!!!!!!
hell if no one show's up you can come watch my daughter and the rest of the hula crowd show their stuff. at least one of the dancers is prety hot and the rest really have that Hawaiian look going for them, except they are white..... the band is great. the members are from Sacramento and Hawaii. they sound good and are really funny.

[charlie]

Rob, I got some ex family comin over that day, so I will be fine, I know cynthia and vaughn are gonna be there too. If no one else shows.................................... oh well. I guess I shouldn't let it hurt my feelings, they are pretty numb by now anyways

[kamar]

I'm planning on coming over - ribs, weenies, whatever you've got Charlie. I'm easy to please. And I'm bringing a big pot of my homemade beans - slow cooked in molasses and mustard with bacon and onions. They'll go great with either one.

As for a discussion topic - if we don't have one yet, how about filtration? What types (biological - chemical - mechanical) that everyone's using. I know I use all three, as I'm sure most do, but it would be interesting to hear what's working well. I'm also interested in sumps and what tricks and tips some of the seasoned reefers could share. I don't have one, but have learned what an asset they are to a system in so many ways and will certainly use one in my next set up.

So, are we still on?

I knew I could count on you and your beans!!!!

It is gonna be ribs Kim, I can't cook hot dogs for everybody, that just isn't right. Weekly maintenance was also mentioned.....................somewhere, but we can certainly hit upon any topic , we are gonna be there for the duration, I am sure we are gonna have time.

We are still on, I will probably pick up the ribs tomorrow. I have not heard from Devon yet?????

Kim, Still interested in another blue for your tank?

Count us in. I'll bring some macaroni salad.

Hi Charlie - sorry to be a wet blanket again, but I've got a car show & wedding to be at (not at the same time) on Saturday, so I'll be absent. Filtration would be a very nice topic to hear about. Skimmer size & mechanical options used & discarded, or in use would be helpful. KevinD

Charlie what time will you be starting up Saturday? My wife and I have plans for a play that night, but would like to stop by before and meet some of you if that's possible Oh, and you said BBQ, so I'm hoping that means outside and no steps
