I have signed up for the Meet and even paid the Registration Fee, but if things don't get better soon I may need to reconsider. Last time work was this slow I had to take a 20% pay cut. That would kill my opportunity to attend.

It's official, I'm out.

My thanks to T Mac and Julie for all their efforts and understanding.

Man, that just plain sucks. You'll be missed and we'll definitely tip a cold one to ya! Hope things pick up soon.

Sorry to hear this, but I feel for you. We are waiting to hear who our new president will be and anticipate cuts will be in order. Business is way off. Right now, I am still planning on attending, but after next month all bets may be off.

Thanks Moose, I'm feeling bad enough about making this decision. Missing all you great guys is bumming me out. I think conservation is the best option for me. Who knows, things may break for us and I'll show up just to celebrate.

The economy is really pulling our business down. The only sector of our business that still running steadily is Biomedical Electronics.

I'm hoping for the best for both of us, twincam.

I think it would be a great time except for:
1- Gas Prices
2- Mileage- I'm running just over my terms of the lease
3- My conservative nature, I believe we are going to see a huge increase in retail prices come May 1st as Mfg's react to increased distribution expenses and the devaluing dollar. I may have to start looking for my buried coffee cans in the back yard.
4- Oh and no hunting seasons that time of the year in Ohio.

Thanks to TMac for putting together a great event. I really wanted to attend this year's meet. Unfortunately with the price of gas, and other scheduled events I couldn't get it on the calendar. We have one daughter graduating college in Boston. Going to SC to pick up other daughter, and all her stuff, from freshman year. Family vacation, etc. I hope everyone has a great time. Will try again next year.

Sorry Guys I will miss my first Run this year!!!!

I have a wedding to photograph that saturday. They booked it 12 months ago.


If by chance they postpone or don't have it I will try. If it was the week after I could make it.

Maybe next year we can get a date way ahead so those of us that book stuff way out might have a chance of getting off.

Hope you guys have a great time!!!!!!! Fill Raz's pool with a couple for me.

Appreciated your help in St Louis: following you through town was better than Garmin. Hope you can make the meet!! Hope I can also!! Right now things are not looking too good!! Times are not good!!

Thanks 25

I had a great time the last two years. If my wedding cancels I will try to make it over there.

The rule is you've got the time, but not the money, or you've got the money, but not the time.
