Seems kind of backwards because the way I see it if I don't get it they'll probably lose me from the shop.

I think you should talk to the head honcho, state your feelings, say you would consider going elsewhere otherwise. Don't close doors until all the ducks are in a row.

Pictures are always over saturated, prices are over inflated and the hype is always anticlimactic. But maybe that's just me.

day off
 
Tried to chill on a day off but ended up building a beautiful cedar canopy for my reef. girlfriend is questioning my priorities. It's tough being in a relationship when the other half doesn't share my addiction!

Please read your post over about three or four times, look at your girlfriend then your tank, back to girlfriend, then back to tank. Time to decide. :lol:

Hes the kind of guy that's not afraid to call a bluff, he has fired guys for doing stuff like that before, but don't get me wrong he's a good boss.

Haha ya

"Why can't I put a Lt anemone in your tank that's packed full of sps and is only 15gallons?"

Also it gets a lot more expensive and a lot more work when they're into it

For example my wife is making me build her a custom 2' cube tank and wants single piece euro bracing and an external overflow box

I go to Rich's (blinks) house and my gal decides I need some acans and colourful scolys. i leave her in the car when its time to pay. She likes the reef but thinks it is a money pit. Don't they all:sad:

Back from our hiking trip. Trail was gruelling to go to Love Lake but the view was worth it. I'll get some pics up when they're downloaded. Anyway a friend had posted this clip that I thought was good. Thankfully we didn't encounter any carnivorous friends...

My neighbor is away for the weekend - we own a duplex (both sides)
My wife sees a guy smokin' in our back yard and calls me
By the time I get there, I hear foot-steps on my neighbors (tenants's) back deck
When I get out there, there's 2 guys, and they want to talk about the car I have under a tarp
I don't give a crap why you are there ... You Are Trespassing :twised:
I have a front door and I don't trust you - Beat It
I don't care what car restoration company you run, and I'm sure as hell not going to talk to you about my car.
You should approach people through proper channels with either a note through the mailbox, or a front door approach
Get Off My Property NOW

Why do people think it's OK to cut through your yard, or go into your yard to look at your car under a tarp, and then not expect a hostile response :twised:, especially when I'm still on my first/second coffee

Stay the hell off my property :rant::bad-word:

Geez, if this was the USA, I'd be totin' :twised:

spit.fire 08-05-2013 02:15 AM

What kind of car?

'69 Impala 'vert, and it's covered

Regardless ...

Stay off my property :twised:

What has happened to respecting other peoples property ?

I swear, if another person steps foot on my grass, I'm going to open up a whole big can of 'You better look the **** out' , including some use of metal and big sticks :twised::twised::twised:

We had a guy show up one time as i had a daytona sitting in our driveway with no plates. He ended up stealing it while we were at work, not much i could doas it wasnt insured. It wasn't running and we were broke, even though my ex was a mechanic.

You should be coming out to revelstoke the weekend of the 17th....car cruise!

So the car was gone ?
I won't be making your Camaro cruise
I can barely study (and haven't been)
When summer ends, I'll have SO much studying to do !!!

Maybe next year then...
Summer is a hard time to be doing courses! Worth it in the end though! How much longer do you have?

While i cant say for sure as its daves call but i dont think concept is going to sponsor anymore, fees have jumped alot and its not just us i know of three other stores who will ne doing the same thing.

Just rumor of course untill dave decides bit it looks like were out

HaZRaTTy 08-07-2013 01:30 AM

I think that we might see a lot of people Dropping sponsorship judging based on who is dropping out at current.

Curious why the increase, and why so much. If this many places are dropping it had to be a pretty big hike.

By all means I'm not stating this but I find when things start to tip the scales to be driven for money then for love of the hobby. Many people
Lose interest as its quite noticeable.

Im sure canreef has its reasons i doubt titus would make a raise like this for nothing but for us its too high and umfortunately leaving us no choice but to decline.

We will see what happens but were trying to find reasons to stay and to justify the over %50 increase in fees:)

Proteus 08-07-2013 01:44 AM

Sad part is this can make or break the forum. Without income there no reason for Titus to keep it going and really I love this forum. I've met so many great people and learned so much. I hope it balances out

Would be nice for titus to explain it maybe then we can see why..

Has anyone else noticed the drop in mods as well? When i started with canreef all the mods were active now its just brad i feel bad he does an amazing job and hes the guy holding this site together.
