Had a blast today! I agree the level of talent in that room was insane! I was walking around with my jaw on the ground! You guys all have alot to be proud of! Great talking with all the folks I got to spend time with and sorry I missed a few! Food was great, company was fantastic and I agree the day just flew by......but they say "time does fly when you are having fun"....and it did because we were! Kudos to all who participated and made the day a huge success!

Canalman was conspicuously absent and missed! We missed you Dave!

Mike..your correct in the fact that wire is wire..grommets are grommets....but when I talk about hardware as in lips..no one around can compete with ones made by salty's lure co..keeping personal feelings out of this..and personalities all around...I look for quality first ,price second...no matter who's making or selling, somethings there are just no substitute for if your looking for the best available when your putting all the time into making an item you want to be proud of...I hold no loytaly to anyone place when it comes to spending my money...whoever has what I"M looking for at the time will share in my hard earned wages.
Yes..I missed not having his hardware at the fest...and wonder why he wasn't present along with the other sponcers of sb to sell their wares to plug builders at such a gathering as this one held yesterday.

i can't quite see behind the diet coke can..
but... was clammer giving rolling lessons there Bruce??



gotta agree with CS, ya can't beat Salty's lips, first rate.

[mikecc]

CS that is your opinion. We sell 1,000s of lips a week and have no complaints. I have further invested $$ in vibatory tumbler & media over the past few weeks to buff the edges cleaner and for the luster of the metal. There is always room to get better whether it's adding additional Products or just helping people learn a few new tips.

As far as Salty not coming, I was surprised when he was not there also.
You will have to check with the powers that be, why he was not, it's none of my business & I'm staying out of that.

[BigFish]

The powers that be were not contacted by #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& in regards to his coming. He most certainly would have been welcome as always.
