Jeff's obviously never eaten Great Lakes smelt - delicious!

Jeff - Off topic. Have you ever run into Tom and Becky Batcheller? They have a place on Okoboji. I'll be chaising roosters at Tom's "No Wives Ranch" in October.

Our trip to Brad's yesterday was good, lot's of nice guns and he has a really nice facility, Looks like he has been working 24-7 to get it just right, but that is the way the man works, got to take a tour which I appreciated cause I know he is busy, Looked at a beautiful set of Bernard barrels that belonged to one of our members, I also enjoyed looking at the different operations he does to produce the wonderful work that comes out of his shop, Megan enjoyed meeting Lori his wife and their son and daughter, a real family business. Thanks Brad for taking the time to show us around, Gary

Gary - two of the largest numbers in the universe are 1.) the number of hangovers resulting from a night of smelt dipping, and 2.) the number of smelt thrown away when the drunken dippers reaized that they really shouldn't have brought home a garbage can full of smelt, and figured that about 100 was all the smelt they wanted to clean. The rest got buried.

I've got two guns to pick up from Brad. I just messaged Eric about a possible quick road trip. Maybe we can hook up.....
