Good evening all and Happy Holiday , take the time to 'Thank' a Vet this weekend . Somewhere , sometime , blood was spilled for us to enjoy our freedom and life as we know it . As well , our troops continue today to defend our freedom and a cause . There will be no BBQ's for those abroad this weekend , nor will there be time spent with family and friends . Take the time to think of the one's paying the due's for us to enjoy . For those fallin comrades ... RIP brothers , you are not forgotten .

Good evening all , just a short note for the day . I had a thought today and wanted to remind everyone , for those planning on heading out west to hunt big game this fall , make sure you check with the state you are travelling to . Alot of states have deadlines for tags and applications . DONT FORGET ... some states still offer tags 'over the counter' for out of state hunters . Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend ... I did the one day I was off .

'Happy Mothers Day' ... to all those it applies . Without our mothers we wouldn't exist , nor be who we are today . Cherish your time with them and convey how much they mean to you and the inspiration they have bestowed upon you . Time is as short as it is priceless .
RIP Helen 'Ma' Ernst (9/13/42 - 4/14/10)
