Gabriel, Thanks so much for the pics.

We want to thank everyone for coming. We had a great time. I'll be re-doing my top-off system today thanks to the info. Thanks also goes out to RiverCity for donating the raffel prizes.

I should be around if you need a hand. If you'd like I'll try to track down the keeper of the suction cups. I've used them and they make carrying a large tank SO much easier. Just let me know.

Dave, Does that say temp is 89.8? Is that right? Almost 90 degrees?

jsr, As long as I don't have to change a diaper she's more than welcome.

Main Dish: Baked Ziti and in keeping with the topic of "Top-Offs" the meal will be "topped-off" with: 1- NY Cheesecake 2- Baklava All the above will be prepared by my lovely wife and I've never seen anyone leave my house hungry.

Looks great. Congradulations. Your hard work has paid off beautifully. (and your work also, David)

I've been informed that with the cheesecake, homemade baklava will also be served.

Looking forward to seeing all of you there. Please reply with how many in your party will be attending so the Mrs. knows how many cheesecakes to make.

Beautifulllllllll

Dave, Ballast. Give me a call tomorrow and we can discuss it. To long to explain with my two finger typing. Steve 461-3120

(That's yankee for ya'll). Looking forward to showing off the new tank (and the wifes' cheescake) Thanks for looking, Steve

First one would have to define "youth" before you can judge if it's wasted or not. I moved here from NY at 34. In NY, in most of my circles, I was the youngest (married at 20, first child at 23). Moved to TX in '94. Now I'm one of the oldest in my "circles". I haven't changed but have gone from the "youth" in one circle to the "elder" in another. My wife was at risk of Huntingtons Disease since she was 17 (a 50-50 chance she would carry the gene). I have always worked jobs that afforded me extra time to spend with my wife and kids (since I wasn't sure how many "good" years we'd have together). Five years ago she took a test to confirm whether or not she carried the gene. She doesn't. Five years ago my wife got her "youth" back, at 44. We have two sons (23 & 20). I was able to coach my kids in varoius sports over the years. Go to their school plays. Spend TIME with them. Be part of their daily lives. Today, my wife is full of life and my kids (who have both moved out over the last 2 years) invite me to play poker with them and their friends. We watch sports together, PLAY football (legs are gone but the arm is still there. lol) I'm 47 now. I have much less of a financial "cushion" than most my age and probably earn less in salary. That shortfall I'll have to make up for over the next 20 or so years. My "youth" has lasted into my forties and I don't see it leaving anytime soon. Being a daily part of my families lives over the last 25 years...priceless (and "youth" inducing). Stay healthy. Focus on the big picture. People...not cash. People keep you young. Chasing cash makes you old. That's my 2-cents worth. Spend it any way you like.

Kris, I'm interested if still available. Give me a call anytime at 512-461-3120. Thanks, Steve
