I'm waiting for Rich Schuster to pick me up to leave for the show. I didn't think I was going to make it, but I'm glad Rich invited me to go with him.:smile2: Look forward to seeing you gentlemen there.:wink2:

Nice to see Louis, Rich, Brad, Alex and anyone else I might have missed.

Show was excellent, close to 500 folks turned out despite warnings that the blizzard of the century was coming (did it ever show up by the way as we got nothing here; it went from 3-6 inches here to a foot, back to 3-6, then 1-3, got nothing as of 8:00am????...........good effort, good job).

New location is further south in NJ, drew a bunch of new faces, which is always nice, was busy all day long, had numerous preorders that were picked up (I don't use drones to delivery my product, I use my hands, works for me, but what do I know), excellent show overall for me. I like the new facility, easy load in and out, plenty of parking, food wasn't too bad.

One of the dealer went to Harolds and got me a sandwich; WOW, I know where I'll be stopping on future rides through that area, outstanding to say the least.

Got home last night around 11:00pm, started at 5:00am, a nice, clean 18 hour day, I get to do it all over again starting on Wednesday.

The shows come fast and furious now, 7 over the next 12 weeks.

Louis,

I was tempted, but just couldn't think of a way to explain to my wife why our dining room table was sporting a center piece with a naval theme!{sm4}

Harold's Deli tried drones, but the Knishes were to heavy.
