Doc,

If you are here in cyberspace, I'm leaving at 1:30 and will arrive before 2:30.

Yeah, I'll be early, as usual!

Remember York?

I arrived around 3pm for the dinner engagement at 7pm.

Wow, I had a GREAT time, thanks to Dan and to all who were involved in the planning that went into the GTG.

Mark, Thanks for sponsoring me and letting me hang out on Friday (and the trade too)

Greg, Thanks for letting me check out all of your off the hook watches.

Merkley Kendrick were great hosts (and had some killer Watches).

Thank you guys for making me feel so welcome (since it was my first GTG). It felt like I knew many of you for a long time.

Can't wait till the next one!

Don't forget, next time a few stogies and some sippin spirits

Icon14 The Louisville GTG did not disappoint!

It is always a pleasure to meet fellow TRF'rs eye to eye.

Yunz are some of the greatest!

Rob, Mike...A few more pics right around the corner, but Dan took the majority of them. (tough to post from a one screen laptop)

On the way to...


Friday night four for all...

A Huge Thanks To Stevo!

You are most gracious, Fred.

Thanks to all for a great GTG!

Everyone reflects favorably upon the whole of TRF.

I'd like to add a huge thanks to to Steve, and to the founder, for TRF.

Steve, I wish you lived closer!

I feel as if I was a "kept" man all weekend...

>Doc drove me to KY.

>Doc bought the drinks on Friday.

>Blaine got two tickets for the NAWCC banquet on Friday and I joined him.

>Bill bought coffee for us today.

>Mark bought my breakfast this morning.

>Mark chauffeured my butt around, as did Doc.

>Dan presented me with a custom picture that his sister drew.

>Merkley Kendrick Jewelers was very hospitable, as well!

>Everyone got along and didn't fight and we only spilled one drink!

I feel as if I'm missing someone... ...so...

Thanks to all for a time not soon to be forgotten!

Thanks to ALL who attended! I think everyone had a great time, and my only regret is that I could not make it to Cracker Barrel and Starbucks with you all.
We had a fabulous time hosting you all, and look forward to doing it again! We can't tell you how much we appreciate the business, and the continued support for us, and the brand that has brought us all together.

Here are the pics that found their way onto my camera. Not the best in the world, but I wanted to contribute whatever I had.. enjoy!

...simply a...G R E A T...time for all that attended...

...wish I could have stayed for dinner, but was not able to eat anything else until after 11 PM.

...just felt yucky for a couple of days going into this. Still feel a little down today.

...HOWEVER, am looking forward to another great time with TRFer's at MK sometime again!

...got to meet some TRF'ers that I had known only by the screen name, like Mosco and his wife.

...just wish I had been 100% for the GTG...

Although I’m not active on TRF as I once was “KY GTG” is always something
special (seeing old friends and meeting new friends) and this one was no
exception.
Great work done by Fred, Dan and Mark and the great hospitality by the folks
at Merkley Kendrick.

I was very flattered to learn that Ducatidoc (David)and the theloxmyth(Craigmeister)
who we've never met and never exchanged PM nor reply to a thread was looking for me
at the Applebee’s after they saw a vehicle with my name on the license plate in the
parking lot (btw - it was not my vehicle).

After meeting you, I think it WAS your vehicle and that you were just "flying under the radar!"

TWO days with us would have been one too many.



It is super nice to have a chance to meet everyone face to face.

Columbus or Pittsburgh, next, Joji?!
