First Annual E & SW Luncheon


Well today was the 1st annual luncheon get together. Those in attendence Denick and Jmic. It's true I brokedown and drove up to Canaan to meet Denick. Had a great time, drove around to a couple of his jobsite's then went and had lunch. BTW in no way did I try to persuade him to cast his vote to me. Had a great time and hoping we could do this on a larger scale.

I think all the guys that are getting together for the Deck show in Vegas will outnumber your convention.

Well, I never thought I'd have to say it but, "Joe is a nice guy". I had a good time. He paid for lunch!

So guy's stop saying bad things about him when he's not around!

Well they did it! they got four companies together. Read their post up in Carpentry. Technically we did get three companies together at Conex in Connecticut. Actually CTkiteboarding might have been there at the same time. He didn't know it, neither did we. We didn't know him! He probably didn't know us. Maybe we can still make it count.

Well how do we get 5 or more company's together?

Nick, Sounds like we have more than that now within a 60 mile radius of us. You buy the beer and dinner and who knows we might even get Rino and Tom to make the trip.

Re: First Annual E & SW Luncheon


You guys in CT get along as well as the Italian masonry contractors did in CT. - When I went to the meetings they alternated between in Bridgeport area and Hartford. At the "executive" session it was top secret and no suppliers or associate menbers were allowed for the "planning".

Re: First Annual E & SW Luncheon


When I saw this thread again I figured it was because you guys were plotting for a higher attendance function. The sad thing is that the jlc board is getting a bunch of people together at the show in Providence and they are much smaller than this board....I think Nathan should sponsor a meal at these events or maybe some tee-shirts?

BTW, let us know your numbers next year so we can beat them again!

I've been on jobsites several times with at least 3 others users of this site, simultaneously. We just didn't log on right away to brag about it.

I've never been in a homeless shelter, and I probably would not brag about it either.

I appreciate your sense of humor, Doug. If you and I were on the same job, we'd never get anything done!

Correct, we would be too busy reversing the control lines on the ESW's guys bobcats (see bobcat thread).

Denick, we just want an invite so we can play with the big land movers. The average man drools like a kid when he watches the kids movies on big dump trucks and all of the other toys you guys have.
