Wish I could, we have an auction on the 10th, sounds like a blast, I havent been to one since I was 15 years old, that one was at millersylvania state park, would have been about 77, back in the Ed Meredith days.

If I can attend one someday I'll volunteer to be a ring man and bid spotter, I can catch a bid at 100 yards (I only take wink bids from ladies though, so if you're a guy raise your card)

Is there going to be a Trapper Ed class again this year?  I didn't see it on your schedule. I'm bringing my son.

Yes, it's on there, Saturday morning.

I know. I saw you once and then you were gone. Didn't get much chance to talk to you. :sry: Seems like half the time I am preoccupied with some chore needs doing.

It was too cold for beer. I would have enjoyed a hot buttered rum instead!

never too cold till the alcohol seperates out or makes a bottle burst unopened. then ya switch over :tup:. or better yet start the hard stuff early to grease your bidding wheels for the auction then switch over
