The big dilemma for me is that half of us definitely cannot make it to an evening BBQ on Tuesday (and of the other half, nobody has even indicated that it IS a possibility, so for all I know, nobody might show up); and the flip side of the coin is that only two of us can make it to a daytime reef tank tour, and the rest cannot do that either, presumably.

If you can see a solution that is beneficial to at least some kind of majority, I am totally open to suggestions at ths point.

I hate to say it, but this is not looking good at this point. I don't want to be wasting Rob's time with a "Calgary Reef Club meeting" where he is invited as a guest speaker and then only two people show up.

I am just checking in here - I don't have access to my Email right now. So, do we have any plans?

Well, Tony is out of the game as well. He has to work for sure tommorow.Sigh
I suppose this ended up being a flop after all.
Sorry to waste your time Rob.
it's too bad everyone in calgary couldnt make this work. :(
Oh well, next time. :rolleyes:

Mitch - Rob
 

I sent Rob an Email, forgot to copy what it said but I sent it to Tony as well.
So waiting for his reply.

Unfortunately, yes, I can no longer do Tuesday morning due to an "executive request" by my boss to go over to one of our customer sites and fix a system that's crashing.

I would, however, be available WEDNESDAY morning if that's an option.

Rob, I don't know if you're still out there or not (this is getting to be a long thread..), but Jonathan and I live pretty close to each other. If Jonathan is available Wednesday morning, would you be interested in paying Jon & I a visit? We could talk reef tanks, show off our setups, and maybe go pay some stores a visit. Wai's, as it turns out, is right across the street from Peter's Drive In, a perfect spot for lunch on a summer's day (hopefully the weather on Wednesday won't be quite as damp as it is right now?!). Anyone who's interested and able to come along, let's do this, it'll be fun.

And Rob, this way I can get you a fistful of halimeda you can pass along to your buddy (Bob if you're reading this, don't worry, I promise to save you some! I have oodles and oodles...)

I'm sorry this is such a pandemonium of disorganization. What hectic schedules to try and juggle (darn that work always getting in the way of the important stuff! Only 60 years till retirement, whoohoo!! ;) ).

What say you? (And anyone else?)

I can be reached at (403)254-0976 (home) and (403)212-2409 (daytime). I'll try to remember to bring my cell with me tomorrow, in case anyone needs to reach me in the morning, (403)815-1038. I won't be able to check this site, or my email, until tomorrow afternoon.

Mitch - Rob
 

Actually Wednesday morning may be fine -- I'll give you a call Tony and see what we can arrange. What about tonight? Anything planned, or is that falling through as well? No problem either way - I just want to find out...

Rob

Mitch - Rob
 

I am still standing by to see if anything is happening eveningwise, that being my only available time. Once again work stands in the way of more important things. :(

Mitch - Rob
 

Tony, Rob.
I am availiable for a Wednesday morning tank show off tour.

Mitch - Rob
 

I would come out and visit all of you and your tanks, but I am a little new and don't feel like I belong quite yet. I am also with Bob in that my job prevents me from weekday excursions. By the way, what is the average age of the group members.
under 18
18-24
25-30
30-35
35-40
above 40

Just curious!

Mitch - Rob
 

Well it would be hard to come up with an average, but with me at 61, and the others in low to middle thirties I would guess, then the average would be middle thirties I guess. That would be without counting Jonathan who I would guess is not as yet thirty, and who knows about spikeh? OK, now I am confused.

Mitch - Rob
 

Well most dont think I am as young as I am but yes it's true.
I'm 23 and dam proud of it :rolleyes:
Everyone belongs, my house is always open to tanks show off sessions and I do enjoy visiting others as well!

27 :eek:
Your old enough to be my grandpa! :D
just kidding ;)

Yeah, well, at least mentally I AM a teenager, spoiled whiney brat, and a thug. Don't let the hairline (or lack thereof) fool you. Oh, and a geek, but realistically, not a very good geek, though... Mediocrity now!

PS. I refuse to beleive anyone I know could be born after Star Wars was in the theatres. I was a mere 6 mind you, but there you have it :D

PS. Well if anyone wants to do something in the evening, that's fine too. I hadn't heard from anyone though that this was a good time for them when I first mentioned the idea. So I didn't know what end was up.

I need to make some final modifications to my hood so I can finally take the clamp-on fan off and use it elsewhere, and close the door of the hood (since it has been open for the last three months). So I would probably like to work on that tonight, and perhaps thus be a little antisocial if I could.

But I guess if there is a social gathering, please count me in.

BTW, I guess there's also tomorrow evening too.

Mitch - Rob
 

Folks there have been forty some posts on this, and I still have no idea if anything is happening. Will we have a get together with Rob or not? I am still available Wednesday evening. PLEASE let me know if it is happening. :confused:
Bob

Mitch - Rob
 

It seems that the basic answer is no, there is no club get-together due to everybody's conflicting schedules. :(

Jonathan & I are going to meet up with Rob Wednesday morning, and basically play it by ear, see where we go. Anyone who is able to come with us, is of course totally welcome, and I reiterate the invitation for anyone able to come, to please do so. I work in the daytime too so I understand that many people can't do this, but I'm going to use my "Stampede Parade 1/2 day off" (because I did not use it last Friday as most others in my office did.)

Technically I have a conflict for Wednesday evening (every Wednesday evening May to September). I offered the suggestion of Wednesday evening as a means to hopefully garnish some more buy-in on the idea... (Even if it means I couldn't go, I would still prefer to see something done as a group if at all possible.)

i think i may be the youngest, 19 here....

Mitch - Rob
 

I just wanted to make sure that this wasn't all a group of teenagers. Not that I don't like hanging with teenagers, its just that the conversation is always a little bit different. I will have to get together with you guys then. BTW I am 27 next Monday!
