Basstrich and Landwhale, adjusting the table legs for the booth. All much needed work done with the help of duct tape.

One guy that I somehow omitted from the pics is Mikey. Came up big, drove a long way to help, put in three days and sold the product! Besides the old farts it was nice to see someone under 45 helping out!

Had to bail on the guys early and come home on Friday. Flu caught me and is still kicking my ass. Sorry Tommy, Marty B

Yo Jimbo! I've been looking for a copy of that book by Ed for a long time off and on.
He had at one time ask me if it went back into print if I would want one and I said "hell yeah!!" but never heard anything else. Where did that one come from and are there more?

BTW, I haven't been able to view the boards very much lately* but when I have I don't recall seeing anything from or about Ed for a long while. Anyone know how he's doing?

*finally had that knee surgery and my leg blew up like the elephant man's, not good. Still can't walk on it but it's getting better.

The book will be sold for ED at the UNIGOOP BOOTH at Del Mar this year. MANY MANY folks stopped by to ask about that book.

HUGE THANKS to Mikey for driving all the way up to help out with the booth and hang with TEAM DEPENDS.
We got hooked up with SEEKER RODS
Picked up a crip of VIF forms again and full sponsership for the boys.
Got the wholesale price going on mustad hooks for the slug throwers
Gami football heads will NOT be costing a arm and a leg anymore.
We ended up with master cases of florocarbon and mono and spectra.
Huge stock pile of stickers, Hats, Plastic, Plastics Plastics and more plastics.

Good times were had for sure.

Jason, thanks so much for allowing the boys stay at your pad. I owe ya one big time.

As for the team, we picked up and talked with some great sponsers thats for sure.....
