could be Saturday-mysis pick up and frag swap...with beer

[rossb]

I know this is short notice but I think this time Christain is coming through:
As many of you know, I do occasional bulk orders of freshwater mysid shrimp from www.mysis.com . I have an order coming in this week, and after I fulfill my pre-orders, should have 20-30 8oz flats of frozen mysis shrimp available for sale. The price is a little more this time, as the company increased its prices due to the sagging US dollar, so the price is now $5.80/flat.
G. A. Christian Bilou


Our order would form the pre-order bit...

I plan to get this on Saturday morning and was thinking...I could get some beer and I have the afternoon free.

Anybody up for that?

[AJ_77]

I am definitely up for that, Ross.

Cheers! (wait, let me check my wife's calendar...) :mrgreen:

[Cap'n]

Yep, I'm in.

[EmilyB]

Right on Ross...we will be there.

[andestang]

sounds good Ross, thanks :mrgreen: :cool:

[monza]

Works for me. Are we having a frag party?

Dave

[Canadian Man]

I can make my way there Saturday.

[rossb]

I'm most certain that some swapping will happen. I'll post directions later this week (when i have a firm ship date).

[albert_dao]

I was talking with Christian today at the shop. He explained to me that the delay was in part due to a retarded shipping proceedure that involves a backtrack to Vancouver before heading out to Calgary.

[Vagabond]

Hmmm, Saturday afternoon, Beer (probably some jamaican rum if Alans coming :smile:) Good people, fish food, yeah I'm free :cool: :mrgreen:

Thanks Ross

[Jim Barry]

sounds good Ross....... I'll be there.

I think this should work, I live in the NW .. scenic acres.

I am quite confident that we will have the mysis by saturday but will post a final confirmation on firday night.

[Fish]

I would like to come, so I could meet some of you guys. Would that be alright?

[AJ_77]

Can't see why not! Maybe you'll pick up a few stray packs of mysis!

:biggrin:

[Fish]

Awsome! I'll double check on friday evening to make sure it is still going on. The link didn't work for me so I will bug you for directions later.
Cheers,

[AJ_77]

Good idea - and check with all the scalawags who haven't seen this thread yet... :confused: :mrgreen: Should be more of a response by now.

That link worked earlier today...

[DiscusZ]

Anyone get the link to work above? it just sits there for me (at home and at work...)


Ross can you jjust PM me your address when the time is right (as well as the time this will happen)


Jim

[AJ_77]

North on Stoney Trail, right on Scenic Acres Link, left at the 3-way, then a right, and straight thru onto the little bay. Piece of cake.

It is not nice to call people scallywags. :lol: But then you didn't really, did you :question:

[AJ_77]

It's a variant of the more common usage, Bob_I_Am...
I guess I could have used rascals. :razz:

scallywag

n 1: white Southerner supporting Reconstruction policies after the Civil War usually for self-interest [syn: scalawag] 2: a deceitful and unreliable scoundrel [syn: rogue, knave, rascal, rapscallion, scalawag, varlet] 3: one who is playfully mischievous [syn: imp, scamp, monkey, rascal, rapscallion, scalawag]
Anyways, I want to know if more of the people on the Mysis Order List are planning to be at Ross's tomorrow. Ross may think enough are coming already, though... :wink:

[Willito]

I think most like myself are holding out and waiting for final confirmation by Ross.

[rossb]

I have the final confirmation from Christian -so it is a go for sure tomorrow. I will have the beer on ice at 1:30 and there will be all the Mysis you can eat.

I have 200 packages in total - 100 large and 100 small. Of these there are dibs on about 1/2.

see you tomorrow :biggrin:

[AJ_77]

See ya there, Will! :mrgreen: I guess you probably subscribed to this thread, huh? :redface:

Ross, is this an open-house kind of afternoon, or do you want us there as close to 1:30 as we can?

[rossb]

Ross, is this an open-house kind of afternoon, or do you want us there as close to 1:30 as we can?

any time is fine...I'll pick some beer up in the morning and when you get here ...I'll give you one.

I just got through stuffing 200 bags of MYSIS into my little freezer. Holly crap is that ever a lot of food. If I ever hope to see the bottom of the freezer again ... I have to sell quite a few bags of mysis tomorrow :eek:

[Bob I]

Nobody will go home hungry then. :BIG:

[EmilyB]

Of course the polite thing to do is not make this a month long thing for you Ross, since you have done your part and then some.

Hopefully everyone will pick up so you can be done with this. If anyone needs some temp storage and can arrange to pay Ross, I have freezer room.

[Delphinus]

Nobody will go home hungry then.

Yumm-ee. :lol:

I saw Ross's freezer tonight. He aint kidding, that's a lot of mysis!! Bottom to top.

Ross, thanks VERY much for handling this once again this year. :cool:

[Canadian Man]

Just so we are all clear...
It's $6.00 a bag, correct?

:biggrin:

[Cap'n]

Very unhappy to say I won't be able to make it Saturday, I have to work.
Might be able to make my way over at the end of the day. What time is everyone showing up?

Ross, you have PM.
