Im with you Geno!

sorry, but i just read the favre thread, and i bout went to restroom on myself from laffin at the term...
"sack swinging".

I feel your pain.
 

I need a 12 step program for this hobby. I really wanted to be able to be in Canton, but life just didn't cooperate.

My wife and I had an argument last night, and it was too late to go to anyones house, so I went into the bedroom to pack things to head to Canton. Fortunately I wised up before I hit the road, as going would have caused many more problems.

It sucks every year as the date stays the same and my wife has mandatory Vacation the first week of August every year ...............I will NEVER get to make a MFCA convention.:mad:

With the new TWEAKING contest ...........AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHH
I cant stand it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too had planned on going but sometimes life is unfair.

me too
 

would like to make it this year (i also have good prices for planes), but this is the biggest rush of this year (July-August) and i only have Sundays to rest so...

I'm sad to not have $$$ to come in USA to the convention...Too bad, since I've got plenty of free time...but it's the main reason why I don't have any $$$ :rtfl:


But it's sad, especially this year :(

It hurts...it burns...
 

I promised myself I would not call every 20 minutes for an update. Home for the weekend all the kids and wifey went out of state. Got a lil EF action going on in NY in the am...the rest of my weekend "mope for missing the MFCA Convention" time.:rnt; :rnt; :rnt; :rnt; :rnt; :rnt; :rnt; :dohdh:

The tweak off:twkr: :dohdh:

No MFCA
 

I do not have a car, so no convention.:rnt;

I have to say, I got a big twinge on Sunday when Wolf said there was one hotel room left. I actually thought about coming out at the drop of a hat. Then I checked the prices for last-minute flights - oops, I'm staying home. Next year I'll plan ahead (like last year).

Personaly, I've got a little car ("citroen ax kway", you can google it and laugh :D ) , and even a little motorcycle...but none of them can fly or swim to Canton :rtfl:

Convention Blues
 

As so often happens with my job, when I do plan to do something like go to an electric football convention or tournament, a "RUSH JOB" comes along that just "HAS TO BE COMPLETED BY MONDAY, SO IT CAN BE PUT ON A TRUCK". Which really sucks!!! since the dept I work in is the one that usually puts the finishing details on a lot of the jobs we do and we depend on all the other depts before us to get their job done so we can do ours.

I just have to keep telling myself, "I love my job, I love my job,..."

Oh well, at least I am getting some painting done on my WFL solitaire teams. (5 completed, 7 more to go.)

Work
 

Working weekends and, well, have to work so I'm home...maybe next year.

Thanks for posting Geno so we can share our "pain"...and to all y'all whom are there, HAVE FUN !!!!

Geno, don't say that you will never be able to attend. Rumor has it that next year will be in a different location at a different date. As for winning the great Tweak Off, I wouldn't count on it. Let's just say that there's a new sheriff in town, and he's a one handed cripple..... :nhnh: :hmmmmm: :hmmmmm: :hmmmmm: strrngthpt

We missed all you guys and I know so many would come if it was possible for them. The convention is a great time among friends and is very inspiring for many of us in the hobby. I hope that all of you who couldn't make it can find some inspiration from it as well, especially knowing that the MFCA is bringing us all together daily thru this website and all of the things that the members do behind the scenes.
