3 more sleeps until TARAS SHOW!!!

[Oliverian]

Yea! Can't wait to see all the critters, and meet you lot. Plus, pick up some awesome animals!

Jeff, why would it cost you $1400 to get down there and get a table? Isn't that a bit steep?

One more sleep until the road trip... Man... 8 hours is a long drive. I'm so exited!!!

See you all soon. Exept you Jeff, which is a pity.
Ah well, I'll meet you one day to get some dum's or something.

Car rental for 4 days ($200, MINIMUM).

Gas...about $225, although that was last year's prices at about 75 cent/litre. Its now 90 cents/litre.

Ferry costs (I live in VICTORIA). Peak rates are in effect, so its $50 each way ($100).

3 days (nights) hotel. I don't like roaches, and I need reliable power to bring all the herps in and set up over night ($200).

Food. I guess I'd eat if I was home anyways, but eating out 3 times per day is costly. $30 per day x 4 days = $120.

Table at the show $20.

2 days off of REAL work ($250).

Am I missing anything else? I guess that's "only" $1100. Not bad. But when its April and I only have about $500 worth of stock for sale right now, I don't think I can justify the costs. I could take that $1100 and buy more snakes, more Rubbermaids, more thermostats, paper-stock, web advertising, heat tape, 36-inch hemostats, new printer, etc etc etc.

I'd LOVE to go, and I make the August show almost every year, but April is TOUGH for a Boid breeder. With nothing to sell until May at the EARLIEST, its an added cost that would just put me in the hole fo no benefit. And not being in the market for more snakes, I don't see flying out to the show and shipping animals back to meet me in Victoria.

I'll have to live vicariously through you guys until August! Someone take a BOATLOAD of pictures ( ala Shane)!! I don't want to miss anything!


Scott, I'm in!

[gonesnakee]

And you guys say I'm a "Conspiracy freak" LOL I knew you only wanted to get close to me for my rubbermaids, you're all after them because your jealous that I have more than you Heh heh too bad almost all them are dirty DOH! Lets have a contest to see who has the most I must be a contender LOL See most of you too soon LOL Mark
P.S. BACK OFF! GET YOUR OWN SANDWICH, Container that is! Armed & dangerous?

[Oliverian]

Oh, ouch. I see Jeff. So you have to get the animals shipped back to you eh? Well, hope to see you at the fall show then! (if I go...)

[WALTER]

3 more sleeps!!!! Man now you tell me I stoped sleeping last Friday to get things ready.LOL
Made a trip to Montana on Friday, Sask on Mon, Tue. Calgary Wed. and I think I'm at home now not sure but see when I wake up and who is beside me.LOL

[Jeff_Favelle]

Ok Ryan, you klonk him on the head and Scottie and I will make out like banditos. Rubbermaid Banditos.

Heh heh....

Tammy, I don't have to get the animals shipped back to me, but if I'm going and not selling animals, then I would just fly so I could basically leave the same day or the next morning. If I fly, then I would not feel comfortable with putting snakes in my pockets and then getting on the plane. LOL!

[Leviathan]

I have a better idea!!! I'll call Mark, tell him to meet me somewhere for the Woma pick-up, give you guys the time and location. Then you guys ransack the place!!! I get half the loot plus a 5% finders fee! LOL
See you guys in a couple days and see you tomorrow Mark! Mwah haha

Alecia

[Jeff_Favelle]

5% finders fee? Split 4 ways now!? Yeesh! Ryan, are we gonna end up with ANY Rubbermaids?? LOL!

Although, Alecia has a fool-proof plan...............even for fool like us!

[Scales Zoo]

Of all of us, I think I'm the only one who knows where Mark lives.

I might just do the job the day before we planned, keep the rubbermaids myself, burn back to Saskatchewan and be the new Rubbermaid king! Mwah ha ha ha

[Greg West]

I will have my camera and a couple batteries on the ready. And this year it is actually my camera and I won't leave it in the car the night before for someone to steal. I will make sure to get tons of pics ala shane. Dont know if I have time for captions, but I will get pics


Greg West

[Invictus]

Just send 'em to me first. I'll photoshop pictures of various people inside python mouths.

Well... I'll put captions on 'em anyway, and put 'em on the TARAS website, hehe

[Jeff_Favelle]

LOL, Ken and his "man-eater" shots!


Ok Mark, that's not funny. Stealing is wrong.
