Finally back in my shop from the Maritime meet. What can I tell you as a first timer.... This show was SIMPLY AWESOME in all aspects! From the location, to the weather, to the talent, to the food, to the people, to the paint to the panels, to everything. But outside of all that there were two things that stood out the most and that was....Brian Hansen & Bob Hines! These two were the definate stand outs. I can only begin to imagine the amount of work to put on something of that magnitude.
These two guys made sure that everyone were O.K. way before they worried about how they were feeling! You two are true Studs!
I soaked up soooooooo much it was awesome.
Can't wait til the next meet!
Take care......

Hey Steve! You picked a great first meet to attend!
Ayleen and I are not quite back home yet.....It's Monday Night, 9PM and we are in Beloit Wisconsin at a Holiday Inn Express. We left The Ranch in Moncton at 10 AM Sunday Morning, been driving straight thru except for a 4 hour nap in New York at a Truck Stop..(I was in the back bed of the truck with a tarp over me protecting my Brush box, and my wife Ayleen got the luxury suite behind the seat in the cab!)
It's all worth it and makes it a memoriable experience every time!
We'll be home tommorow!
I'm making you a cabinet Steve! See you at another meet soon!

Steve, you're right - Brian and Bob are the best. We're all really glad you made it to your first meet, because you're gonna have to start replacing us pretty soon. See you at the next one.

Steve, I told you this would change your life....so much talent, so much knowledge, and unequalled inspiration.
A huge thanks to Bob and Brian for their fabulous meet. Andrea and his crew deserve medals for their creations in the kitchen. Those three ladies that helped everywhere, deserve the PR reward of the year.....they were all wonderful.
I wake up every day and still can't wait to go play with my signs......it was nice to meet you, Steve...so glad you came and soooooo glad you are inspired to learn and try more things......Enjoy!

Howdy Steve: We just got in last night from the east and are still trying to take in all the fine pointers and such that we gleaned from all the talented people we rubbed shoulders with. You really landed a great meet (as did we all) at the ranch thanks to Bob and Brain. Nice to have had a chance to meet with you and we look forward to doing it again. Take care!
