Nice meeting all of you today....I just got home like 20 minutes ago. Big thanks to Jay for letting us use his garage and also thanks to the guys who showed how to use a rotary. I have already started saving up.

The Summer `08 Central Florida Detail Meet was officially a HUGE success! Eight Autopians got together in Lakeland, FL, downed some burgers and hot dogs, told some lies, slung some polish and enjoyed a balmy, breezy day in paradise ... gasp!

All joking aside, the generosity and enthusiasm of the senior forum members are truly remarkable. This is evidenced by their willingness to spend a LONG day, drive hours each way and use their equipment and chemicals to help a group of novices at absolutely no charge. I am not aware of one other industry where this phenomenon exists.

My wife and I thank each of you for coming to our home and spending the day with us. I picked up invaluable skills, made terrific new friends and had a great time! :thx

Jay

In closing, I must comment on the exciting opportunity we had to preview a fabulous new product... DODO JUICE! Pronounced "doe-doe," not "dew-dew." I personally am going down to the docks as the DODO boat arrives from Mauritius. This stuff will protect your paint, clear your sinuses, cure hemorrhoids and ingrown toenails and ensure world peace.

Did someone leave a small step-ladder at my place? I will be in Orlando and Tampa on different days this week. We can arrange to meet, or I`ll drop it off. Give me a shout.

I think it was Garry who left it at your place.

Thanks to you and your wife for the hospitality! I`m glad you enjoyed it and hopefully learned a thing or two. The day was great, except for that guy Todd, that "thought he knew something" about detailing!
