Do you have lots of them? I would hate to miss out, but can not get it into the budget until late next week.
I literally got them from the shop at 4PM today... I didn't know they would be done so soon... and isn't it funny how something that's 6 weeks late can be called "so soon"...





I'll snap some pics when the sun comes up.

There are times when it's great to be me... other times... not so much.

Yesterday was a double-edged sword in many ways.

I have great friends... friends who have my back... who look out for me and my well being. Some of these friends have become trusted advisers... so trusted that I don't question them when they share information with me that pobably should be questioned... but trust is just that... TRUST.

When three close friends came to me with identical information and excellent provenance... I did ask the source, and all of them politely declined to reveal the source. They are trustworthy, after all, and they promised the source that their identity would be a closely held secret.

I respect that about them.

So without anything more than the words of some of my closest confidants, I called out Grruss and as it turns out, the information was not factual. Once this happened, I was able to ascertain the identity of the person sharing the information with my friends, and I contacted the informant.

The informant shared the name of HIS informant, and I contacted that person.

His story was ever so slightly different than the version I was told. He wasn't actually SURE that Grruss was the person price gouging the attys...and HE was passing on information that HE heard... it wasn't direct knowledge... it was the unique brand of truth and fiction that fuels the drama in nearly every forum.

So as it turns out, I ended up making accusations about Grruss that were unfounded, and I believe, based on evidence that was pretty easy to ascertain. that Grruss was completely innocent.

In reality, I shot first and asked questions later.

Once I realized that I made an awful mistake, I apologized to Grruss in PM... And he accepted my apology which is proof that he's a better friend to me than I was to him.

I have no real excuse, and any attempt to defend my actions would only serve to add insult to injury.

I am truly sorry that I sullied the good name of a true friend of the Zen Nation, and I am further horrified that I lacked the common sense to ask a few questions before coming in with guns blazing.

I DO know the source of the attys that were price gouged, and I will deal with that person in private. I don't know what the outcome will be.

Long winded? absolutely... so here's the short version

I screwed up... and I'm sorry to the folks that had to witness it, but especially to Gruss that had his integrity questioned.

Please accept my apology.

That's a REAL man, folks! Nuff said.

He is staying in Vancouver near Robson Street.. Downtown. I am not sure when we will be meeting up yet. I will let you know as soon as we plan something. Can you try to get in touch with Fili and see if he can make it too. He will be flying in on the 30th and leaving on the 3rd.

Wow. When are you getting together?

Where is he staying?

Edit: tybin will be coming up as well.

Sorry to hear about your boy Bubbakinns.
Bushmaster is that a Neapolitan Mastiff?
Sorry for your loss too.

I've had to put down four altogether my last two just about a year or so ago and it did break my heart.
I had them cremated and they all now still sleep right next to my bed as they always did!
I miss them all M & M a Dalmatian, Kaiser a Rotti, Monster & Irene brother and sister Dalmatians who were the first dogs I ever owned and showed.
Playing under the rainbow bridge now........

My Jake was a Dalmatian...a rescue. He was 2 years old and weighed 35 pounds when I got him!! I had another dog at the time who was "disabled" Her rear legs were paralyzed...Emma ( hence, the screen name). I was going to foster Jake because I didn't know how he would be with her. Well, he walked in the house, pooped on the floor and jumped into a recliner..LOL. He was submissive and ever go gentle with Emma...so he was a keeper. He actually brought a lot of spark back to her and they were wonderful friends. I would love another Dal, but I know I would always compare to him.

Apology accepted!

Thanks Zen~, You're a good man. Sorry you got bad intel, but it looks like you're onto the real culprit.

So, lets all just move on.
