The Grunden's from Texas have taken GC at Gardena....

Hubby and I just feel lucky that we can attend this year. No ringers coming from MN this year. Can't decide if we'll be bringing the Sanke again this year or not. It's hard to tell if her color is down after being indoors all winter. With the lighting inside, it's hard to tell for sure. We pull our possibilities tomorrow and take a closer look. Will make final decisions on Wednesday before we load up early Thursday morning.

Thank you Sue. Bring the B team if you must. They kick butt too. Heck at Orlando, an all B team show would still be stunning fish. There are four or five regular attendees who could bring B team fish and still have a nationally fine exhibition and competition.

California? Love to see ya.

Mickey, it's a great time no matter if we bring fish or not. Just looking forward to seeing some old friends and getting out of dodge for the weekend!! It's still so cold up here!!! We're watching the weather along the route as well. There is a section just south of us that has been getting hit hard lately with ice and snow. We'll have to drive through that.
