    Matt, I did average over 36 thousand fitbit steps (16.5 miles) a day for 5 days. If I walk a lot and eat less I save money and buy more discus. There is a method to my madness.

    that is more steps than I have done in the last month I am sure, lol.

    It was great meeting you Wes and the whole crew! I see your secret to success was Pepsi to stay wired? lol.

    The energizer bunny photo should be replaced with a photo of Wes.
    If anyone missed out to meet or have never met Wes...there is not a person in my life time that I met who was so welcoming, funny and hard worker to say the least. Brandon and the rest of the crew do not fall that far behind and all get a 5 star rating.
    Keith was the director and could not imagine what it took in the preparation and could see very few that would have been willing to take on this task.
    Since Matt and I attended Wed afternoon, we witnessed from the start exactly how much work was involved for the show set-up.

    Thank u for the kind words. Ralph you Matt not just witnessed what it was involved THEY LIVED IT. From the moment they walked in the room on day one and offered to help, I put them to work. From me and on behalf of the MWDA "Thank you guy for all your help".

    It was a great show. Every NADA show is different and every one is great. Just getting with people who can talk literate Discus Speak, and seeing folks you know but only get to see every two years, and meeting the folks you have looked forward to meeting makes it a gift from God. Then you get to learn all sorts of cool Discus stuff. And then there's the show fish...

    I love looking at great quality fish and evaluating them. Who know's why? I only get that once every two years at NADA. I like to place the fish before the judging and see how I do compared to them. It takes me a full day and it's hard and fun. The poor judges have to do it in a matter of hours.

    This show was extremely competitive. Lots of excellent fish, no stand out GCH. I got 3 first place fish the same as the judges. Not bad. I missed the GCH. I was pulling tor the BD but I knew it wouldn't win.

    I have never seen people who worked so hard out of the goodness of their heart than the NADA crew. They handled every crisis calmly and well. (There is always a crisis or 3). I sure hope that NADA can find a group of people in a strong club who are willing to take on the work for the 2018 show.

    I tried to tell everyone in the local club what a great show it was but I am sure I had to miss a few so here it is......Y'all did one hell of a great job. It was the best NADA we have ever had. I am really looking forward to the next one when someone else is the national show chair....LOL.
