You should drop some of those barrels of oil off at my house, so I can keep my thirsty f350 running

Stefan, that's a cool ride, but you're right, 4200 is way too much. it'd be a great project.

Steve, I didn't think you got past ankle deep...

David, didn't make it to Talladega but my sister in law got your decal and I will get it to you. Steve, could have used some clear medicine to help. Guess Ill be having soup for a while, by choice. Don't feel like the rest. lol. For anyone in the Central Ms area, We are having a show this weekend in Clinton. It was originally scheduled for Sept but rained out. Crusin the Boulevard is Sat starting at 10am

OK, I have been absent, but busy. Getting ready for a Colorado trip, taking the trip, and then unpacking and storing stuff.

My Son drew a limited area Elk tag and I accompanied him on a successful hunt. We hunted public land that neither of us had ever seen and without a guide or any outside help. During scouting and hunting we saw several bulls but the wind was unreliable and spoiled many opportunities.

Finally on the last evening of the last day, I spotted a 4X4 bull and Marty made a good shot. Then the work began because the GPS indicated that the truck was 1.15 miles away.
