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:

[niloc16]

[Dale D]

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

[fishface]

There is also some kind of Scottish restaurant located on the corner of Vedder and Thomas.:D

private joke?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

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:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

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.

[SuperFudge]

private joke?

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.

[Samw]

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.

[SuperFudge]

Everyone,

[niloc16]

[Mike Olson]

Thanks for an excellent afternoon Marc. Your tank and setup are truly inspiring and the hospitality was even better!(which is saying alot when you have a setup like that!) Thanks again

[untamed]

Thanks for the hospitality, Marc. I was really struck by how nice that rockwork looks. Certainly the nicest I've seen.

Brad

[christyf5]

Marc I had a great time, thanks for hosting and showing off your amazing tank! I couldn't decide what I was more dazzled by, the tank itself or all the mechanics keeping it running in the back room :wink:

[Jason McK]
