It's been at least a few years since being involved here, mostly due to the incredible busyness of life.
I've missed the conversation, the info, and just hanging out from time to time, and am glad to have the time to get involved again.
Quick updates: Lost my two old dogs last year. Jess on New Year's day, and Jim just three months later. They lived long, healthy and appropriate lives. They're with me forever.
The better half has gone from casual, once-a-year shooter, to totally obsessed with shooting. That has been a lot of fun!
Getting ready to retire, looking forward to it more than I can say.
And this is Bart, the little ten month old Lab that's keeping me busy these days. I lucked out with this one. He's a good specimen of the breed, smart as a whip [maybe even challenging Frank, my one-in-a-lifetime dog], and as even-keeled/friendly as I've seen. He's been in training for four months already, with a long way to go.
Glad to see so many of you old timers still here, and a lot of new members, too!
