I have NO IDEA where to start.... so I'm just going to wing this one.

THANK YOU Jdog for having the idea and the fortitude to schedule, plan, and pull this
whole thing off, but most of all not giving up when all looked lost. THANK YOU for
bringing a confluence so close to home so Janey & I could attend. I waited years for this.
THANK YOU AGAIN, but mostly for putting up with this unstable old man! :D

THANK YOU Joey & Diane for flying in from California to attend, and for ALL the help
you have been and WILL BE this week :lol: ...........for fixing all my RICS! :twisted: For
putting up with us for 7 days, for the advice & playing tips, and for all your help around
here.
You both have been great friends, and I look forward to years of laughs, RICS, good
meals, and holidays together...BOOK CHRISTMAS NOW DAMMIT! I apologize in
advance for the weight you are GOING TO GAIN when you are here....I WARNED
YOU! :roll: Sorry about Piewacket! :roll:

THANK YOU Steve & Tammy, Mark & Steve Jr. for the marathon driving dash, for
ALL your help with the loading, unloading, the GLUE PROJECT and for tolerating my
wacked out sense of humor..........and the FLARP! :lol: But, you HAVE TO ADMIT, that
was FUNNY AS COULD BE!
We passed out about 10 cans of FLARP during the door prize drawing....IS IT MY
FAULT that Mark just had such GOOD LUCK to win 4 of them? :lol: Most of all,
THANK YOU FOR MY GIFT. I am still taken back at how beautiful it is. I WISH YOU
ALL COULD HAVE STAYED LONGER :( ...Um, when is your next vacation?
:mrgreen: PS...you did a GREAT JOB Steve, the Peavey works great! :P

THANK YOU Paul Boyer for your help, guidance, assistance, storing, packing & unpacking,
pictures, information, lessons, and help with my new addition but most of all for your
patience....for your generosity, and kindness. I couldn't have done this without your help.
THANK YOU AGAIN!

THANK YOU John B for attending, that insane drive in a blizzard and for letting me try
out my FIRST 4005. VERY COOL INDEED! You had me worried, you had a very
strange look in your eye when you were playing my 71. :lol:

Thanks Andy for RUINING ME FOR GOOD! :lol: That 1964 RM is to DIE FOR! I'll
NEVER be the same again...Thank you for your openness, for your bringing so many rare
and beautiful basses to SERF...I played my FIRST 1968, my FIRST RM & a my first
1973 4001FL with all the goodies.
Um, what's your address? :twisted:

Thank you Graham for not puking on the new carpets and for making room in my liquor
closet! :lol: Thanks for a wonderful meal, and all the laughs! ESPECIALLY THE
LAUGHS!
My dog has a FUNNY look on her face, any idea what that is about? :twisted:

Thank you Janey for putting up with me and my "addiction" and for making this "work". Thanks for all your efforts with the door prizes, and so many things you helped do to help us get this thing off the ground. Oh, by the way....HAPPY 27th Anniversary JANEY! NEver thought we'd spend one like this huh? :oops:

A SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR PETER who whom none of this would be possible if we didn't have this fantastic forum!

To all the other's, especially IT RHYMES WITH ORANGE..you guys reminded me what
it was like to be young....I just didn't realize it was SO LONG AGO! GREAT SET
GUYS!

To Paul (forgive my spelling) M. for coming for both days.....IF I MISSED
ANYONE, I APOLOGIZE, I'm pretty tired....it's been a great week! My little POST
SERF weekend will not end until Saturday....SO, keep checking back!

APOLOGIES to Kira, Brian & Paul A. for NOT bringing my laptop camera and for staying in touch. This thing was a whurl wind and the time FLEW out the window!

In addition to the typical confluence activities, we had a chance to take part in some really informative clinics...

Here we have JDog sharing his technique for restringing a 12 string geetar!
The stringmaster speaks!

While working on JDog's 4001, we all decided he needed to sit lower in the saddle(s)
So.....
