Many of you have been following my trials with my work.

Well I am pleased to announce that I landed the job I wanted.   ^:)^

I'm no longer traveling to Michigan for work I get to stay right here in the land of Suck.

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, wishes and prayers during this time.  It's kept me going.

Congrats to me...  I'm going back to work.   ~~:)

I think Michigan is actaully say....

Thank God...  Now we don't have to deal with him.    ;D

Not so fast.  I was born in Dearborn,  My Father worked for 35 years in the Rouge Plant,  Mom 37 with FMCC.  My uncle was Chief of Police for Dearborn for years.  If your getting the idea that I bleed Ford Blue, or Maze and Blue on Saturdays in the fall.  Your correct...  You'll not get rid of me so fast.


Some place in Michigan right now there is an IIT going...   GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....      **)

Michigan...  I love you guys.  I'll come a visit for sure.  With TC, BeeFree, ITB, and Miki  the IITs are in excellent hands.  Don't let them slack especially that Koolman guy.   &)

A Michigander come down near Cedar Point just to give you guys a poke.  No,  that never happens.  I'm sure Koolman will bring me back with all of those Maze and Blue easy ups he bought.  I have no idea what those could be for....     **)

I'll be back for sure, plus I made a promise to a great man (ok, it was the whole family) that I would came and visit Athens too.  (Rob, the red looks GGGGGOOOODDDD)


To every one.  I know it's been your thoughts and prayers that made this possible.

The job that you always wanted?  You mean to tell me that you got the firearms testing  job that you wanted? :~ :---  You are a lucky man!  I will look for your product reviews in SWAT magazine. ^:)^
All kidding aside, congratulations and welcome back.  I look forward to working with you soon. 
A firearm is only an instrument. It contains no evil, no conscience, and no ability. It is strictly the intent, competence, and character of its user that decide the outcome of any and all actions taken with it.

His new job is bittersweet, so don't assume my silence is disapproval. GB is a great guy and I wish only the best for him and his family, but I must say it will be refreshing not being thrown under the bus so often when he is SB. ~~:) But I will miss the bi-weekly visits :'(

You have been granted the desires of your heart and your needs met.
God is good and he no doubt cares for you. You can breath deep now
and enjoy your future Gopher Boy. Looking forward to dinner out
when you come down to Peoria way. We want to learn more about that Olympian
track  star son of yours. We are so happy for you.

We certainly hope G69 and family have all their needs met as well.
I know tough times have hit a few within our ranks.

Cheers,

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in

Don't worry, Koolman.  Us future local SB's will be more than happy to take over for GB.  There are plenty of buses to be thrown under.   &)
