Well...I have a friend up here that has an AWESOME system. I was over there helping him setup his UV...and one thing lead to another and I walked out with 11 high end sticks!
That sounds like an awesome friend!

I've noticed im the only smorgasbord member without the hospitality tag. It makes me feel like the fat kid on the playground :(

Im usually helping people out in the wee morning hours though, when all the normal folks are sleeping lol
Wrong. I don't have it either. 😉

Do you want anything for Christmas this year?
Yessir, I do, but honestly it would be for you over me man. Ive seen you bust your hump for a long time now and your resolve and determination has always impressed me. Age aside, very few that I have seen have kept overcoming the hardships that you have and stayed with it. You deserve all of the accolades you've received here on r2r. What I want for my r2r Christmas would be the best for you and your tank buddy.

My mother makes all these placemats for us. This one has pockets on the left side for utensils.

I love them. I honestly think they're gorgeous and unique. Very cool that your mother made that.
