Word is that West is here!

Please give him a kind and warm Hoosier welcome.  He will definitely be a welcome part of the IN team.

Welcome West!

Does this mean that West is now in charge of bringing the donuts? I know I'm tired of always having to bring them..

Welcome Brother!
You have a voice mail!
For those you who have as yet, not had the fortune of meeting up with West, you are in for a pleasant surprise!

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

Oh my!  Thank you very much for the warm welcome, I wasn't expecting it at all!

I truly do appreciate it, and I am looking very much forward to meeting, working with, and spending time with everyone.  The Appleseed Project is something I have a lot of passion about, and I hope to impart my knowledge and enthusiasm upon many a Hoosier rifleman. 

(Btw, no, I still can't say Hoosier correctly)

As for donuts, no, even if charged to do so I won't be bringing donuts.  I will however bring brownies.  Of course, they will be gluten free, as I have a wheat allergy.  Tough one to have, my favorite foods were pumpkin pie and pizza!  Oh well, eating healthy isn't so much of a struggle any more, about 75% of the food out there has wheat.

It's unfortunate, the circumstances that have brought me here, but I think that even though we, and especially my father, will be the better for it. (We're expecting a 100% recovery with added value - he's lost 70 lbs and on track to lose another 70.  We'll make a rifleman out of him yet)

If anyone ever needs a place to stay, let me know, I'm in the Muncie area and would be more than happy to put Appleseeders up at my place.

I'll post pics, if I ever get the internet at home.  Libraries are nice but you can't put the more fun stuff on the computer, like gun pr0n.   ;D

Cheers!

West :))

Glad to have you in the great state of Indiana West! Get with Hawkhaven, and he'll get you settled in right! Don't forget to give a shout out to techres too.  ;)

Looking forward to meeting you on the trail!

It was a privilege to have West with us in Athens, OH this past weekend. 

You Hoosiers lucked out and somehow had an absolutely stellar Instructor handed to you on a silver platter.  Hopefully he'll join us in Ohio whenever he has the opportunity.

West, you're always welcome over here my friend!  I enjoyed getting to know you and hopefully we'll meet up again very soon.

Huzzah!
