| Speaking of sorting, Sharon and I are going through the process as well. Wondering what our esteemed judges will take a liking to, Kohaku, Sanke, Showa or Shiro, always a question be fore the show.
We are setting up our koi (Koi Kruiser Trailer) and plan on car pooling with Greg and Judy Linnebach. Always a long trip, about 8-9 hours on the road from Spokane with several stops along the way to check up on koi and how they are enjoying the ride in thier cozy quarters (Travel Tank). The Tri-cities, WA and The Dalles, Ore are always the hottest part of the trip. Temperatures are predicted to be in the mid to high 90's during our trip. In the past we have purchased bagged ice to keep travel tank water temperatures reasonable while coasting through these areas.
As you might guess, our trip to the Show is quite an excursion but well worth it. Once there we enjoy many of our koi kichi friends and festivities thru the weekend along with supporting on of our great Northwest Clubs. So looking forward to next weekend and just maybe take down an award as well.
See you there,
Dan and Sharon
PS; Sorry to hear Henry will not be there, will see you at QK in October! |
