OKC Sob Story

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
It's killing me to read all the great reports from OKC. We were a couple of minutes from walking out the door to head that way when our well pump decided to die. In fact, I was in the middle of brushing my teeth (last thing I do before I leave the house to go anywhere), with a mouth full of toothpaste when the faucet just stopped. 8 hours and $2,000 later we had water again, but I'm afraid we wouldn't have been good company even if we had gotten up at 3am Saturday and headed to OKC. Depressed mood is fading, but the pocketbook sting is hanging in there. :blink:

    I was wondering why I didn't see you there, but don't worry about it. You didn't miss much, just probably the best fest ever! :evil: -RP

    I think I may cry, too. What a bummer!

    So sorry you missed it.

    That's too bad. Was also looking forward to meeting you. Thanks for the sample wood chunks and sponsering the event. It was a whole lotta fun.

    You're welcome for the samples. We almost decided to bring them instead of shipping them -- sure glad we decided to ship!

    Springfield is on. CWM and I are going to have to start hammering on RD to submit his banner. Don't think I know Donna and Cliff, though.

    You were on my "must meet" list and I looked and looked for you and decided that I had just somehow missed you. Sorry about your dilemma and missing the fest and all.

    When is Springfield? We have folks in Jeff City that we visit several times a year and I would like to schedule a visit around the fest if possible.

    I think it is the third week of September. Don't quote me on that, though. I just sent Outdoor Home an e-mail suggesting that they update their website and get the banner ad on here.
