Champ Koi carries the book locally so we all suggest you take the whole of Saturday driving around visiting your local koi shops...

Fuzz, make the trip this weekend around the Bay Area and checkout the Niigata of Northern California. Telling you this area is probably the best in the country with the amount of dealers here.

Tonio,

Thanks for the props bro. I'll be coming to the Camellia Show with Dunkel. Gotta help him net his fish. Don't know how we're gonna get 'em out of his pond without a seine net!? Maybe I'll hold some tofu over the water and he can catch them as they jump for treats!LOL!!

Anyway, we're coming up Friday afternoon to check in. We'll be at the hotel for drinks and laughs and fish stories in the evening - by the way, did you hear about the one-armed fisherman who caught a fish this big(show by spreading arms out as far as you can)??LOL

Anyway, it'll be great seeing everybody again all in one place.

P.S. - No, I won't be showing. Garry called and asked me and I told him I didn't have anything ready at this time - BUT WATCH OUT AT THE ALL NORCAL SHOW IN APRIL - I'M BACK!!!!
P.S.S. - Eldon Koi was in Palo Alto. Did he move?

Regards

Mike

Mike, the only thing I can suggest to you when you are catching Dunkel's fish is have fun... Have to tell Yolanda to video tape you guys catching...HAHAHA...Mike remeber you are retired...you don't need to be catching some youngs fish....

I will see you 2 up there, I heard Dinner is on Dunkel? HAHAHAHA... Mike if your catching fish you better have Dunkel by you breakfast, lunch and dinner after that workout....
