Thanks Mark.I can't wait to see your system.The closest I'll ever get to have a 1000gal in my house is if a pipe blows and I'm not home for a while.:biggrin: .Clint

Mark,
I wish I could be there for this. I am planning to be out that way some time in Aug so if you're around and don't mind perhaps I could impose on you for a private tour then.:wink:

Anytime your ready bud.

I'm in - is there an address or is that top secret?

Hello all,

Directions are, 5760 village street,Sardis.

Get on the #1 eastbound to the vedder exit (#119)
Follow right, stay on Vedder until thomas rd (about 5-6 km) turn left.
1 block down on your left is village st, im on the corner of village and thomas rd.

Ill serve some munchies and Coffee, beer... coke...if all are real hungry, there is a little pub just around the corner if you all want to go for a burger or something after.
Hopefully its not too bad out, atleast then i can open the back door so we fit in there...lol.

Marc.

mmmmmmm beer and fish tanks, what the hell else would i want to do on a sunday. its like xmas morning marc. see ya there with a few wobbly pops in tow

If you get lost.
There is some kind of Scottish restaurant located on the corner of Vedder and Thomas.
Just look for the national emblems of Scotland (golden arches and a clown in a yellow jumpsuit). :D

private joke?

Ummm, just wondering, what about the flood threat this week/weekend? Chilliwack is right in the middle of the threatened flood plain, I believe.

I think his place is on the south side of the TransCan by CFB Chilliwack and Cultus Lake. That's quite a ways from the Fraser so he should be safe?

I'm going to see whether I can join this pilgrimage as well.

Bring a bucket and your gumboots :wink:

How about some sandbags & a truck load of sand:wink:

Hopefully it doesn't get as bad as they warn on the news. I think parts of southern AB flooded yesterday from torrential downpours & thundershowers.

He is refering to the high dollar restaraunt called Mcdonalds. :)


LOL, tell you what, if we have a flood on this side of the highway on sunday thats big enouph to even float something in, ill empty my tank and pile all of you into it and paddle you all off to safety.

Now get ur *** over here! i dont want to hear any excuses. :D
Ill open the doors at noon, after a visit and a couple of wobbly pops and some munchies....if you all are into it the jolly miller has a good burger.

Colin, dont worry bout the beer bud, i got it covered.

Hope to see you, Marc.

The Pacific Assistance Dogs Society is looking for clean 5-gal buckets to store dog food in, so if anyone has some clogging up their closets bring them along and I'll give to PADS (these are the hearing- and wheelchair-assist dogs).

Thanks

Susan B.

Wantaride?
 

I can fit 2 or 3 people in my car.
I will be leaving from Guildford mall.
PM me if you want a lift :wink: .

I can't give anyone else a ride, my car will be too full of 5 gallon buckets!! See you there.

Brad.

You want to swing by and give me a lift? and a ride home too? :mrgreen:

err- noon eh. How long do you think you'll be open for? Don't think I'm going to get out there until 2pm or so.

Im sure youll be ok Dave,

You might be just in time for the pub ! :)

You guys feel free to bring your frags to trade amongst yourselves, i dont have any to offer at this time tho....mine arent much more at this point than frags themselves.




Marc.

Would this be an accurate map to your place Mark?

Mark's Place

No prob, you just need to pay for gas and the ferry and and feed me, that will break the bank right there. :wink:

Thats it !

Marc, I should be there between 1:30-2:00pm. Looking forward to it.

goign to be later than i thought - 2:00 ish or later - bah. ahh well, beer never runs out at the pub.

Thanks for the Open House Tank Tour Marc. Your setup was as amazing as I thought it would be. Sucks that I forgot my camera. But oh well, I can just imagine what the tank will look like next year when the corals are grown. Thanks for the munchies as well.

hey Sam, it took me a bit to recognize who you were....its kinda funny how we all see people as just names on here, it was good to put a face back on ya and im glad you had a chance to come.

Everyone,

Just wanted to say thank-you all for coming, i had a great time.

I was havin so much fun i forgot to get a few pics of everyone for the ones who couldnt get here.

Marc.

Hey Marc
