December 4 shouldn't be a problem.

Joel - Do you have any dates in mind?  I know that I'm unavailable on Thursday Dec 11th and Thursday Dec 18th.

Sure do, it was in the November meeting thread Chris started. Here we go all in one thread.


*******************************************

What about Thursday December 4th, 6 PM at my office again? Does that not work for anyone that wants to come.

Please take the survey if you haven't already. Presently controllers and automation are winning, that one I should be able to add some good content. Although I will need to think about how to demo without a controller present. Obviously I can't disconnect mine.

I'm good for the 4th. If we do any automation, I wouldn't mind learning more about auto topoff automation if anyone has done it. I don't have a controller yet, but I wouldn't mind a compare/contrast between your software and Neptune's software.

Chris

Sure I have auto-top off working great. I also have auto water changes and kalk top off automated So I can talk and show some diagrams or something on that. I will also talk a bunch about controllers and compare my software to Aquanotes.

I may try to attend this. never have attended a girs event and might find it usefull and fun! But if it is snowing I can't...Will be out plowing! BTW I got your list today Joel and will take a look over it and let u know tonight!

Do ya think that Airport Security is gonna freak when I come back from Vegas w/a ton of coral!!!!

Oh ya im going to Vegas 12-13/12-16 no GIRS meetings that weekend 4 me

Vegas? What is there to do in Vegas? We've got gambling right here in Iowa now! And that Riverboat puts that silly LUXOR pyramid to shame.

Not to be a stick in the mud but 99 times out of 100, I can't make it to meetings during the week. Work schedule doesn't allow it. I work days but I get calls up until 11 pm.

We can always think about doing an availability poll to get an idea of people's availability. I think one reason joel likes to host the meetings during the week is because he lives an hour away from DSM and we have the meetings at his work after business hours.

Joel needs a half-way house/frag store partners w/a few other members.......

Are we firm for December 4th @ 6pm then?

Sorry I have been swamped. We had 7 people say they would to see a controller and automation discussion. Please respond here if that works this week for Thursday. I can make it happen.

And please, if anyone has anything specific they would like shown or have something to add bring it on.

Shouldn't be a problem for me...  will be there if thats what works.

Thursday works for me.

OK, I'll be there.

New added possibility: JJ may come and talk to us about his setup. I will do the DIY automation with an aquacontroller and he will do the commercial methods. If he can make it it will be quite interesting.

So yes, my office Thursday December 4th at 6PM.

Dave, as long as you pack it in your suitcase you will be fine. I brought back some pieces from Maryland with not a question. They won't let you take it on board though, so put in heat packs and hope your luggage doesn't get lost.

Somebody want to be the designated videographer then if all the meetings will be held during the week? Alot of good info but 99% sure I can't make monday through thursday evening meetings.
