Hi all,
We had our little get together today a Jeff's discus here in Chicago land. It was great to meet other discus nuts and talk, you guessed it, Discus. All in all a good time was had by everyone and a special thanks To Jeff Weisgerber, owner of Jeff's discus for hosting the event and providing munchies and a really congenial atmosphere. Additional thanks to Dan from CBW for the samples of his wonderful product.

And speaking of Jack Wattley, Jeff took the opportunity to unveil a new strain from Jack, The Sunrise Panda. I just wish my crappy camera picked up how bright red these guys really are..

Wouldn't you know it...I get caught up in projects, and am unable to attend the premeire of the Chicago Discus Club. I was fortunate enough to make it to the GCCA swap meet, and picked up a couple of cuties. Eating like pigs too. Well...when is the next gathering of Discus Affectionados? Hmm?

Hello Everyone, I had a great time at Jeffs Sunday it was nice to put faces with the names on this board. Hey Randal I'll be sending that parking ticket back to you. I got to meet and talk to Randal, William P, Elimon, Harriet and Tyra. Thanks Jeff it was an excellent place to meet at. I took home two of the brightest Marlboros I have ever seen and also some Blue Diamonds that were just as nice as the Wattleys. Hope to do it again soon. Hey Jeff I'll be looking forward to those Wattley Sunshine Pandas.
