Garand,

It's not sucking up, I can be NICE...think fuzzy bunny!   When people do good things, they should know. The impact of the Red Hats should be heard!

Pebbles... boulders.... BRING IT ON! The bubble is ready!

I think we are going to ISRA on the 17,18 weekend.  :'( :'(. But I can't wait to go back...I just had a thought, Is billy an orange hat? If he isn't... !@#) &)    Haha just kidding.

My nephew Billy will be back again this year so I expect he will be soon.

You could say that IBC is somewhat like Vegas...You are very excited to go, you think you will "Wow" everyone with your skills, you get knocked off your "high horse", and there is some crying involved...  There are also many, many things that you choose to omit to those people (spouses) who were not there  :-X   >:D

Boba,

true, true...I had forgotten (Mad Cow) that it was a voice message you had sent to G69 in the effort to hurry him along back in Dec.....

Text's can be "almost" as bad..... ::)

And yeah, IBC's & RBC's can bring out some -interesting- details about the folks we instruct with......you wanna know how somebody -really- is?

Camp with them for a week...... :o %)  **)

Speaking of Vegas, we're doing a shoot out there (Boulder City) in a couple of weekends....didn't some of you folks earn a vacation on Fred?

Not much snow on the ground out there right now, and it's barely "nippy" at all....folks walking around in their t-shirts & all..... @) ^:)^

Now doesn't that sound better than freezing?  O0 ^-^

Hi Everyone,
I would like to thank everyone for helping out with the IBC.  It was a great event.  I can't say enough about the friendships that Pappy and I have made through this organization. I have attached a picture of the blue hat that Fred talked about earlier.  Thank you Fred and Meanstreaker for this hat.  It is an honor to be the first one in Illinois to receive it.  Thank you everyone.  See you on the Appleseed Trail.  Mrs. Pappy

Ashes,

I gotta admit, that is an -outstanding- picture of a great buncha folks, all firing "right sized" (mostly) rifles.....the only minor quibble I would have with it at all, is the simple fact that those hats aren't all red....but y'all are working to fix -that-, aren't ya? ;) :cool2: O0

Don't be like that "other Elvis", and have to be dragged kickin' & screamin' into "Red-Hat-hood"....... ~~:) &) @&)

I love a whole bunch of you folks out there, family included, but you guys have a -lot- of make up work to do to cover the costs of that export from last year.......& you know what I'm talkin' 'bout...... >:D %) :---

Be well, all, let's get  this dun!!
