I brought home a new hunting buddy a 7Mo old GSP. Today is the first day it hasn't rained since I got home so I'll take some pictures in the yard and post them on the dog forum.

Only thing I bought was a burrito at the taco truck and brought home some indigestion.

Rich, were there breeders at the Southern, or was this an individual deal?

Bill I actually got the dog from Chuck Brunner and picked him up on the way home. Seeing as I broke a long standing tradition of buying at least one gun at the southern I'll call Duke my southern acquisition

Bill - Here are a couple of pictures I took before donating this (one of five (?) known copies to have been made by Ron Kirby. This copy was the property of Austin Hogan (from Ron) and Austin had gifted it to me) copy of Wilbur F. Parker Sr.'s original hand drawn, hand written, hand colored notebook of cartridge and shotshell patent applications in 1869. There are over 70 patent applications in the book.

In my own opinion, it is a real prize and the bidding was so low I wonder if folks really knew the significance of it.

Way to go Sara. Looks like that practice at Drake did some good.
It was fun shooting with you there and I'm looking forward to Hausmann's. We need you on the Lefever team against those Fox guys. Bring your A game.
