********** The Morning Thread **********

[Anthony K.]

Dan - No kidding. I know its going to fly by too...luckily I will still have 38 hours of vacation left when I get back until October...then I gain my 4 weeks back :mrgreen: By the way...both Jen and I thank you for your works of wisdom about where not to go

Anthony - Morning/Afternoon bud!!! Hope today is an awesome mailday for you...you know we will be waiting for scans How is Germany this week??

Scott - Welcome back to the MT :lol: J/K...I knew you were married but not for 15 years I guess that makes you about 30??

Hey Alex,

Germany is having it's Seattle weather

Cold and rainy in the morning, warm and sunny in the afternoon.

How's life on the other side of the world? I bet you are getting extremely excited. It is getting so close for you two.

I just want to say, I haven't been here as long to get AS acquainted with you guys as most of the rest have, but I wish you two the best. Take a TON of pictures and keep everything you can from your wedding day (like napkins, etc.).

Anthony, you'll appreciate my mailday yesterday. Added this to the sig,

Good morning fellow coffaholics. I hope everyone's day is off to a great start.

Chris- Congrats on the date! Have a great time.

Alex- My man. It's almost the big day. I still haven't received my invitation though, what's up with that? :lol: Everything's going to be great. Congrats again.

It's nice to see Scott and Jack London having some time to stop in and say hi. I didn't mean to skip anyone, I will post again shortly. I just have to go refill my coffee IV first. :lol:

...thanks Joe, glad things with you and Crystal are on the up-and-up!

Love your new Rose by-the-letter card(s)....

Take care....

Nice Pence man...here's my latest Oswalt scan.

 

[KC37]

Dave- Joe Sakic is a class act. Always thought he was a great player and a nice guy. I loved the Wings/Avalanche rivalry in the 90's And saw many games with he and Stevie Y pitted against each other. Good memories.

Dave those playoff series between the Wings and Avs were always epic and there were some games I will never forget.

Were they ever...when I was growing up a Bruins fan, I always liked the Nordiques, and one of my best friends was a huge Yzerman fan. So, in the mid-90s, we had a nice rivalry going on. Sakic was always one of my favorites; I even rock the throwback Quebec jersey every once in a while.

Good morning to you all.

Joe - I know you'd be there if you could I watched "Knowing" last night as well. Totally LOVED the movie but I can see why you might be disappointed in the end. It kind of gave me the whole "Final Destination" fell throughout parts of it as well. Blew me away concidering it was PG-13 too.

Anthony - Weather sounds comfortable :lol: I must say those who I know the best are all here in the MT, we can only learn more I definitely can't wait to share the pictures when we get back so I will most certainly show them off everywhere. Thanks A TON for the wishes...we are holding on to each and every one of them. Life has been going great over here. We just had her parents arrive intown yesterday so technically the wedding is already starting with the out-of-towners arriving this week.

Trevor - Damn that card scans VERY well!!!

Chris - You too...on the scan. Hope your night will be as "shiny" as your gold Oswalt

Bungle - Morning!!! Sorry to forget your actual name I know its on the tip of my tongue somewhere. Any luck with what you listed on ebay with your casebreak? What did you decide on for the rip card??

 

[MOFNY]

Thanks Alex.

my buddy has a Sakic Noriques jersey that he still wears and every time I see it I am jealous.

Alex, it's actually a picture taken with my Sony Cybershot. I like the way it captures cards more than any scanner I have used.

Yeah...definitely gives it the "from what your own eyes see" look. What year is your camera made?

That's OK, no problem. It's Kevin (most people just call me KC).

The listing is going OK, near half the case cost sold. The SPs and mini parallels haven't really sold yet, but I think that's just because the set builders haven't started looking too hard yet. Got $70 for the plate, and still have the rip, the Longoria, Braun and Rios boxloader autos left.

But the Rip is soooooooo tempting. 3 watchers, no offers, I'll probably pull it and rip it.

I'm not sure. I bought it for my wife (then GF) as an "anniversary" gift last september and it cost me 300ish at the time.

I think I know which one you have. My best friend has the same one which we take to concerts when we go. Takes amazing video as well plus the screen on the camera is a perfect size and a bit larger than the others (isn't that what she said??... :lol: ).

Good news, I got the job!

I start new hire orientation next Thursday. Sucks I have to wait so long to start but it's a great opportunity.

I can't wait!

Aren't you still able to do the "flashlight trick" to see what's inside it?

[wideright]

Congrats Trevor on landing the job! That's got to be a relief.

KC- RIP IT!!!

Joe- no luck on the cases as of yet. Have kind of stopped looking for them for now. May be out of luck but Im keeping my fingers crossed that someone is sitting on some somewhere and will decide to move them soon.
