ATHS show Duncan BC 2015

Well the show in Duncan BC is this weekend so I have spent the last couple of days prepping and loading my fleet. I had forgotten how much work it was to service and load all this crud! I still have a few things to load but I want to purchase a folding table today first. Lou has one and it is nice to have some of the models up off the ground and away from peoples feet!lol Hopefully we will meet some new people at the show and draw them into this awesome hobby! I will be sure to have my RCT&C cards on the table for those interested in viewing the site!

Not sure a fleet like that classifies as "crud" Some nice looking models you have.

Preaching to the choir my friend! Atleast Duncan isn't a 1,500KM round trip! :lol:

BTW..... I think you have a problem.... You should get that looked at. ;)
They looked at me and can't figure out what's wrong with me but maybe you'll have better luck. :D:lol:

Well if your wife was the pic taker, then she must have taken a better one than this of you Reg?! Or atleast I assume that's you... cause I've never actually seen a picture of you before. :p :D

I was strongly considering coming to this meet this yr, before all the bad weather hit the past month... maybe next yr. :)

Re: ATHS show Duncan BC 2015

Haha, yeah that's me Joe. I'm not much for being in pictures and Kim knows it. Lou has a bunch of pictures he said he would post here. I think I might be in one of those.lol Too bad you couldn't make it out. Lou and I were there by ourselves on Sunday but it was still a lot of fun as the crowd was bigger. An extra operator would have been great though and it also would be nice to BS in person with ya!

I'm notorious for that too, so busy having fun with the group that I never take a pic till it's too late or not at all. :D

Jason's boys aren't too interested in the hobby and didn't want to go again on Sunday and as for Greg and Rob.... Well there are a whole list of excuses there...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Lou and I represented things as best we could:p.

looks like a lot of fun boys . Hotels and airport nearby ? Rental cars ? Taking a model (D6T in a carry on) on airplane ? Are us east cost yanks welcome ? ;) Just a thought :o

Of course you guys are welcome! We would love to have more people on our side of the caution tape! The forest museum wants us back to do a kids day they have coming up at the beginning of August but I don't think it will work out this year. We have also been invited to the Cowichan fall fair in Sept(11,12,13). We went there a couple of years back and it was good. They gave us a full truckload of soil so that was nice. Not sure if I can go but Lou has enough stuff and personality to entertain the crowds on his own!

If you had the time Steve, my favorite trip I made out west was , fly to Calgary, rent a car drive through the mountains clear across BC , jump on the ferry and on to the island.
I must warn you, once your there, you will not want to leave! And not just because of Reg :p:lol:

You could drive right by my house along the way, to or from or both. ;)

You bet Lou, it'd be great to catch up with you & Greg again, as well as meet some of your newest club members such as Rob & Jason... 7yrs since I was there last, and you & Greg have built so many great models in that time too that I need to see in person. ;)

Is that Reg I see working a hand shovel in a RC pit?! Geez, you gotta chase after that guy with a stick & break him of that habit! :p :D

Joe, that's Reg with a rake and me foot packing the road! Ground is so dry here we had to do that to make a road up to my Sand Master. After, we used a hose to wet it down real good, but it would still be dried out in an hour. Reg is trying to make a turn around to back up to the Volvo. It was like driving on ball bearings!!!

I'm planning this trip,so a few ?'s popped in my head :rolleyes: Can you get a dually on your ferry ? And what's your emissions regs. , like California ?

Re: ATHS show Duncan BC 2015

Really? AWESOME!!!!!!!! Yes the ferries are large and carry a few hundred vehicles. You may end up over height if you have a conopy(pay more) and be put on the lower deck with the semi's. No emissions regs that you will need to worry about that I know of especially on the island. How long will you be here for Steve? We better get our sh!t together and make sure they give us more dirt again this year!

Timing wise he should be on the way home just about then Mario.... He just has to stay north of the boarder while heading east!

Nice! I have been dreaming of adding on to our shop but I just bought something else that derails that plan for a while.lol Now I'm hoping to do it next fall instead of this spring. I'm tired of tripping over myself in the shop but I don't want to sell anything that's in there.lol Lifes a B!tch:rolleyes:
