Good morning Flower!!! Good news.... The sump shipped out this morning, and actually helped the FedEx guy load it on the truck. The sump is headed to the main hub as we speaker to be routed your way. Delivery is expected for Wednesday!!!!! Maybe you'll get lucky and get it a day earlier as with the huge. They put all kinds of fragile stickers and what not on the box after I showed them the pics of the UPS attempt. When it arrives it will have to be signed for!!!!! Went the little extra to ensure you see it before the guys disappears!!!!!

When I saw a missed call from you and returned your call...I was so happy to hear your voice and know all was well with you. I kept telling myself you were busy, being the Xmas season and all, but it was so not like you to not be around at all.
Now that I know all is well with you and yours....WEDNESDAY!!!! WEDNESDAY...OMG! It’s on its way, it’s really on its way!! I can finally hook up the Fantastic Corey Gizmo and Al’s refugium...that super awesome Skimmer Meowzer searched and found...attach the hoses and pump Corey so wonderfully assisted in getting ready.
Everything that everyone has done has been sitting here waiting for the Grand moment for your Sump to arrive. It just hit me...in spite of all the crap with UPS, all the anticipation, all the wonderful people....
Wow Shawn, you really started something. That little sump means so much to me, and I even have the little stand from the first one to represent..With the way Slice set those boxes up...LOL....I’m pretty sure it’s Gorilla proof.
Thank you Shawn! Thank you so, so much.
All of us has to get together like Meowzer said. We need to find out vacation times, and who really in the central location. Shawn, if you can’t get away because you work so much...we will come to you. I would love to see it happen this summer, so little ones won't be in school...I have some very happy hugs of joy and love to dish out!
So who is good at planning get togethers?

I' a horrible planner!!!!!! I was at ThatPetPlace getting ready to get evil when you called the first time Flower.....Needless to say I made the drive when the website said it was in stock and really wasn't.....

Can't wait to see it all come together as well....I wasn't ingoring your last email you sent me Flower.....I'm just not hearing what you had to say!!!!!
We aren't doing any juggling, you have sand and stuff to get. Reward will be seeing it all setup and running!!!!!!

Flower, I should have mentioned you might want to hire a contractor, and widen your front door a tad!!!!
Seriously the box is HUGE!!!!! I didn't have much room in the back of my explorer this morning!!!!!!

LOL...I bet it is...The box the refugium came it was so big I could hardly get it through the door. I know the sump is bigger. I may have to remove it from the box outside to get it in the door..
As for who should do the planning...I’m pretty good at it.... BUT...the person in the central location knows what hotels are there and what restaurants...do we want a camp site? That would be pretty cool. We want the children to have fun, so we will need activities.
So I guess the first move is to determine the where..
I live in Northern Illinois by the Wisconsin border..near lake Geneva Where is everyone else located?
Shawn, I juggle the bills every month..That's how I get my saltwater fish fix..LOL..I always pay the bills. I do need the sand so I won't argue. Your silence however made me worry.. have grown fond of you people and when you disappear for days..I get concerned.

If its held in hershey, there are plenty of camping locations near there as well as the amusement park and the chocolate world thingie. I have to admit, when I am in hershey, I like it lots and the people are always great. Its just too bad that they dont charge more for dog groomings. I dont know if we could move there and survive.

Isn't Meowzer the chairperson for this (I realize I'm probably wrong)? Anyway, I'm a pretty good planner and have plenty of resources to get good deals, so I would be willing to help plan it.

Meowzer, it looks like you have a partner in planning now. LOL (trust I can be helpful once in awhile)

Something to consider:
Shawn has a really bad back, he has two rods in there. It caused me to think that if we go with a camp site we need one with a hotel close by for those of us who can't sleep in hard surfaces.
LOL...well if it was driveable ...i have a 31'camper.....queen size bed in my own bedroom....4 bunks...tub and shower.....toilet (MOST IMPORTANT) sleeps like 12
we have had it 3 years.....used it once

Then the kids came along and well...

I live at the end of the earth were nothing is central lol.
Fingers crossed, Flower! I can't waiting to see this baby come together.
It's been alot of fun. This whole experience has been like reading a good story...wondering what's going to happen next, waiting in anticipation, going through the ups and the downs and all the while wishing/hoping for nothing more than a simple happy ending with the final arrival of the one last beautiful piece to show. Kind of sad this build is almost at its end. Long live...The Diary of Flowers System!!!
