fall
so its getting to be that time of year, i can tell because my trigger finger is getting a little ancy on me. ive still got a ton of loading and testing to do before the opener in early nov. im hoping that cooler weather with no wind will prevail on weekends soon so i can get going on my testing. some times i wish we could hunt 6 months out of the year instead of 2 weeks. anywho, im working on my .264win mag in a rem m700 cdl sf, which is a beautiful rifle, and the .264 hauls ass and hits hard so im excited to come up with a load that shoots well so i can smack some deer this fall.

he's back
so we had our monthly business meeting at the firehall in our newly completed meeting room which was very nice. and im also happy to say that my buddy far guy has re-joined our crazy crew again for like the 3 time. i would think far guy would have wised up during his first two tours but apparently he's a glutton for punishment or is just a sicko like the rest of us on the fire dept. he was given his instructions and i think left so-so with it, i know he would rather do it all the time instead of being limited to mostly day time stuff, which is when we need it the most, but he had no problem with the "light duty" part of it which there shouldnt have been any questions on that one.

nfl
so with all this brett favre talk going on, i find myself very distressed about the whole deal. this is the guy who led green bay to the super bowl for the first time, since what bart starr's days? and yes i think he may have made a hasty descision to retire, but i also wonder if the green bay mgt. didnt push the issue a little. now the nfl commissioner re-instated brett, which in my oppinion never should have happened. he should of taking a shot for the sports sake, a legend of bretts status not playing for green bay?? thats like magic johnson and larry bird trading teams in the early 80's its just not right. there is trade talk rumored between chicago tampa bay and minnesota, the pack swears they will not trade brett to any division rivals, yeah right they wont. now if brett does get traded i think i will boycott this nfl's season, thats right i will not watch one nfl game (except the super bowl) now if brett goes to minnesota, and they happen to get to the super bowl with brett as there qb i wont watch that either. legends who spend many years leading any sports team shouldnt jump ship, ever! joe montana did it with kansas city, flop. micheal jordan with the wizards joke. jerry rice with oakland waste of time. time and time again its happened and they have the worst year of there entire career, i dont want to see brett go out like that.

air packs
well last night we got to put our new airpacks in service last night, if you want to see what grown man christmas looks like you missed your chance last night. there was a bunch of grown men with pocket knives going to town on numerous cardboard boxed full of air packs, bottles, masks and all the accessories it was fun and then when we got them all put together we got to turn them on and play with them for a while. which really i think helped us all, gave us a chance to get used to them a little and it really didnt take the guys very long to figure them out. cant wait to use them, we thought about washing the truck before the chief showed up but didnt.
