Thanks!!

Your going to be there right??

Yes as far as I know right now,
just got the stupid truck fixed again, I swear I am going to blow that stupid truck up one of these days.
come to find out the only thing wrong with that rotten piece of GMC was the ground wire to the battery was loose and causing it to sometimes to start other times not. ( and I really dispise going down the road and having a ton of truck just stall out on me )
makes me crazy.

What are you going to be wearing tomorrow so I know who you are when I see you? I would really like to meet you!!

It was a very nice show, as usual. This year for some reason there seem to have been a lot of birds entered incorrectly. Birds entered with the wrong breed or variety name, the opposite sex entered in a class, etc. Some Classic Old Frills entered as Oriental Frills, or, worse, simply as "Satinettes". A splash tumbler was entered as a "Sprinkle" tumbler. A good number of birds were just out of condition and dirty. Some of the judges were gracious about it, and to the multiple incorrectly sexed entries, but this really is an insult to their expertise to present such birds to them. The incorrect breeds and varieties create headaches for the show organizers, and incorrect sexes delay judging while the judge and clerk have to sort them all out. Even the most novice exhibitor needs to educate himself as to the correct terminology for his breed and variety, accurately sex his birds, and above all, present them in good, clean feather.
