Anyone going to PA Oct.30-Nov.2

 

[Everett]

PWNA-Pittsburgh

There are 6 of us going from Southern NJ. Not going to get there until Thursday night,we are not going for the Boot Camps.

 

[Beth]

Rod and I will be there. We went through the bootcamp for wood several years back. It was great. Why are you going if you are not going to the bootcamp(s)? I want to sit through the IRS seminar.

Beth

 

[Mike Hughes]

I'll be there.

 

[Everett]

PWNA-Pittsburgh

Beth,

I too am certified already through the PWNA , and I will be in Pittsburgh the weekend before for another show. I would like to take off the whole 10 days but it probably wouldn't be a good idea with business as busy as it is right now.

 

[Dan S]

Im going to give all my $ to the poor >>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<
I think they would benifit with it alot better then me ..


no-no- waite >>>>

Im going to just mail it to big-boy so he can attend those famous meetings .....maybe it will make him a better fisher-man .......

 

[Pete@SunBrite]

Hey, Dan S, how 'bout sending a bit of those $$$$$$ over here?

Well, I'm not holdin' my breath, I guess. I'll be going to Pittsburgh and stopping to visit with my youngest son while I'm there. See Y'all!

 

[Beth]

That's the other thing we are doing too. We're visiting my sister and my youngest niece while we're there in the evenings.

It'll be good to see some folks again and to meet new people as well.

I actually wont be able to make it. Been planning to go all year but the drought here in central NC kinda ruined those plans. Maybe next year.

 

[Dan S]

okay Pete it's on the way ............... please dont take any thing I say negative personal ......... I just have a different view of spending $ on "how to wash a cat" then my fellow p/wers .... I in no way mean no harm or disrespect to those who plan on making the trip to the best state in the country ........ come and spend your $$ we need the revenue 2 fix up our pot holed roads..... lol ........... who knows maybe I'll show up so Mike can splash a lil coffee my way .............LOL.............

 

[Mike Hughes]

You just couldnt resist that, could you? I am currently debating whether to fly or drive. If I drive, maybe I'll stop by your house and take care of that there.

Its 308 miles to drive to Pittsburgh, about five hours. The plane ticket is only $165 round trip, however, between the drive to the airport, security checks, and the flight itself, driving there will only take an hour and a half longer then flying...........I'm seriously considering driving. What would you do?

The only unknown is my car. My truck is out of the question......gets under 10 miles per gallon. My wife's car is brand new, but she needs it for the kid. My car is seven years old and the clutch is on its way out............so, I'm torn between risking a breakdown or not. Hmmmmm.

 

[Clean County]

Mike,
Take the truck. Its pretty new and reliable. IF lets say you do around 700 miles total and your truck gets around 10mpg(Should do better on freeway driving) @aprox $1.50 per then you will spend aprox $105 in gas plus of course tolls. And then write it off.

Your car with the bad clutch if that goes without counting the headache this could cause why set off any flags with the IRS if you try to write off the expense to fix the car.

The only time(1997) that I ever got audited from the IRS it came down to my vehicle. A different story line here but they are sticklers when it comes to writing off vehicles. They look for small things to make Uncle Sam a couple of $$$.

 

[Aplus]

I plan on attending. Should be there Friday morning. We're also going to tie in a visit to my wifes aunt who lives just a few miles away from the convention center. Can't miss out on her good old fashioned cooking!

Going to drive, it shows up as about 268 miles, from just south of Detroit.

Funny how some folks perceive things as a waste of time/money rather than just to have a good time and have fun!

 

[Mike Hughes]

And a tax write off at that!

I never maintain personal vehicles with the business' money. However, I do reimburse myself for the milage I put on my car (estimates mostly). In this case, it will be about $210 for this trip (roughly 34 cents a mile). I dont know if they raised the per mile amount for the 2002 tax year or not.

 

[PUREPOWER]

I will be there with my rig outside of the Westin Hotel. I'm going as a vendor with Largo and we are "showing off" the rig.
I wish I was not so stupid with computers or I would have posted a picture by now...Mike, take a picture while you are here...and please take that ugly car off of your posts!!!

Jordan

 

[M.Hinderliter]

I will be there. But I must leave at noon on Friday

And Mike, I like the car.

 

[Mike Hughes]

Jordan........memory is not serving me right now..........which numbered car is it you'd rather see there?? I would only post the best.......... Been a fan of his since very early 1999.

 

[Beth]

Does anyone know when the wood bootcamp ends and what time the wood certification exam is? Hasn't rained much all summer, not all of a sudden if there is a 10% chance, we are getting rain. Might have seal some more decks and then come sit for the exam.

Beth

p.s. hope to see you all bright an early (8:30) on Friday!

 

[Dan Flynn]

Email them info@pwna.org for the schedule.

Mike leave the truck for the wive and take her car since it is new.

Surely she can drive the pickup for a week!
