If any of you were still interested in a summer get together, the American Cichlid Assn's annual convention is NEXT WEEK, the 22-25th, in Oconomowoc, WI. Its right about 20 minutes west of Milwaukee. http://www.aca2010.com

I'm not sure yet what my work schedule is, with this ankle injury my doc doesn't let me know until the morning of my first day back to work if I'm going back to work or not, but I will be staffing the convention most days.. Fri-Sunday for sure. So if you come into town, let me know!

I'm going out of town for the weekend and will be back Monday, so I won't be around to answer questions, sorry!

Amy

Ohhh and I have blisters on me fingers!

Filled several hundred fish tanks yesterday, and hooked up lots of airline tubing.. LOTS of airline tubing.

Its scary how much work and planning goes into setting up this many tanks in a hotel! The club already has several display tanks set up, including a HUGE 300 gallon tank with overflows that I'm drooling over. They will be silent auctioning the tanks off I believe.. darn, I was hoping I could just buy $10 worth of raffle tickets and maybe get lucky and come home with the 300 gal ;)

Can't wait for Friday, most of the people/fish will be here by then and its the day of the "aquarium factory" tour, it will be pretty cool to see how tanks are mass produced.

If anyone does come down.. I'll be there most of the time through Sunday.. just look for the girl on the crutches with a big old robo-cop looking boot. Turns out the "minor injury" I've been walking on and doing all kinds of strengthening work on is actually a severely fractured bone. Nice, huh?
