My condolences to you and your family for your loss, Matt.

I was at Blue Trails today on a date! She's currently unemployed but she said she wouldn't mind becoming a diesel mechanic. Which shouldn't be that big of a surprise since for the past 8 years she was an owner operator driving for Prime. Truck driver, doesn't mind getting greasy, likes guns, hunting, and fishing ... ya I already jokingly asked her to marry me!! lol

a few friends and i are going to shoot clays at blue trail tomorrow, around 10. if anybody is bored and in the area feel free to come hang out.

i am shopping for a mini quad now, there are some pretty crazy kids race quads out there. its crazy seeing a 90cc quad selling for more than i bought my truck for.
Anyone up in the Blue Trails area be aware that Wallingford PD has been sitting up there running radar on and off for the past week or so. I go past there every morning on my way to work. They sit in the Blue Trails driveways or in the Wlfd Rod + Gun club driveway. Speed limit through there is 35 from 68 and it drops to 30 as you approach whirlwind hill rd.

Pete,
I always slow way down through there.
Just too many people crossing, pulling out, over shooting the entrance...

Good morning Connecticut!
Coffee's on.
Pancakes and bacon for breakfast.
(where's Aaron with that maple syrup?)

that sounds like fun andy.

thanks for the heads up pete, i will knock the throttle down from my usual 100+ to an annoyingly slow 34.

justin, ask her if she ever had to deal with branford freightliner. i would love to hear what she has to say about that ____hole and how she was treated as a woman driver.

have a good sunday everybody!

My shoulder is still torn and popping out.

Much as I love firearms I can't even think about going to the range.
I hope you has fun Aaron!
