Well, here is the story. A couple of weeks ago we moved into our new shop. Well, we tried. It seems we needed a small miracle to pull of all of the remodeling. And we got it, in the terms of all the incredible help we got from fellow db draggers and friends. The list is huge, but big thanks goes out to Alan Riley, Steve Benton and Danny Britain. We already have a great crew that always helps us like, Derek "Captain" Rankin, Stiffy, and Lou Dog and all the others. These guys already know how much we apprectiate their help, but Steve, Alan and Danny went the extra mile because they have their own lives and shops. But, they all came and let me work them untill they were exhausted. We had fun but it was really hard work getting the shop finished and moving all of our crap(including pushing Big Jim around) These guys are what this sport is supposed to be. These are fellow competitors helping others out. Maybe we should all focus on this and quit bickering on this forum next season and enjoy. Once again thanks guys, if any of you ever need anything, the blue shirts of Pure Sound will be there. Now, I will return myself to my normal grouchy self.

absolutely my pleasure. Wish I could have stayed one more day, or stay one more night. I had fun....(with the exception of Steve's ability to drive, OR NOT!!). I wish I could help more Aaron. Give me a hollar and keep me posted (no pun intended).
P.S. Tell Girthy James hello for me, and to keep his shiny coat of yellow slick.

Chili and the "blue crew" also helped us push Mike Hughes' van at finals when we needed an extra hand.. in turn, Chili called up the troops, and we had like 13 more people helping.. the van wasn't so heavy after that hehe. thanks again Chili. and BTW.. what you wanted to do at the banquet.. awesome gesture.. too bad we didn't get to see that plan work. there is always next year !
and like Mike said.. if I were closer ! heck .. you people need to open a shop in San Antonio... lol..

How very true about the sportsmanship and friendship of teams coming together to help one another. That's the great thing about the midwest...I never realized it until I travelled this summer..most places in the US the teams are not like that.
As far as the grouchy self part...I just don't see that one happening.
