Well done Guys ..:..Congratulations to Wurstmacher, Gopher Boy, and Pappy!
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

I give you guys a "tip of the hat" and a pat on the back. :)

Now, as Fred would say, "Start bailing" with those bigger buckets. There's a lot of work to do. &)

My sincere congratulations to each of you and maybe one of these days our trails will cross. O0

Thank you all so much for all the well wishes!

It means a lot!

As many of you know  EEL and G69 are not one to let us rest.  I've come to the conclusion as I noticed my bucket kept getting bigger as the new friend feel I can lift a little more.  I now have the bucket that says, "Bring more to bail".  I am humbled that these new friends have Pushed, Pulled and yep sometime "wiped me like a rented mule", because they see I can handle load.  For this I owe them a debt that I can only repay by not disappointing them.  At the IBC that started this year for me, I stood about to tell 1st strike to the crowed and  I said the Shepard's prayer and I never realized how often I would continue to say it.

Again  Thank you ALL!!!    :bow:


This Weekend EEL being EEL put it very gently to me.  "Here's your hat,  Congrats!, Now back to work, your SB next weekend in Bristol."   ~~:) ~~:) ~~:) &)

So here we go.


OH... What's the Shepard's Prayer...  "Oh Lord, Don't let me screw up"      On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard piloted the Freedom 7 mission and became the second person, and the first American, to travel into space.  Shortly before launch he was heard saying something...  uhmmm... Similar to this.   O0


Thanks Everyone and Thanks Alan for the words of true wisdom.

G.B.
