Just the other day I was thinking of your absence. Glad you're back and for the success you are having. You can't beat a little divine intervention. 

Welcome back    and great to hear yer doing so well! 

 

Bad water heater here. About 10 years.

Stuff made these dayze just don't last like they used to ...   

I think that that bourgeois had heard from a friend of a friend that this was the rule, and that it really wasn't as evidenced by the photos I see now where the shooters have their elbows tucked tight against their sides, like Rob demonstrates in his photo.  Which was the point I was trying to make that just because somebody says something is in the NMLRA rule book doesn't mean that it really is.

Enough of this, before i get accused of hijacking the thread....

Hey,
I've kinda fallen off the face of the earth for a while. I apologize i havent been engaged at all with TMA lately.. I had shared with yall that my career with the union ended back in June for reasons beyond my control...Since then did a little stint working for the county road dept. and quickly learned I'm not designed to drive a grader 4mph for the next 20 years. So, I started my own Remodeling/handyman business. I have been fairly busy and had a great response in our community for my services. But most recently i have been offering myself a lot more to our youth at church. Leading our youth group in studies and activities. Not something I would have ever pictured this guy doing, but It's been very rewarding. Now I've been approached by the elders that they would like to see me come onto the staff and also help me to pursue a program called "MAP" Ministry Apprenticeship Program".. So our life here in Nebraska has been a rolling wave of newness in the last 6 months to say the least.
This year was the first time since i was 14 that i haven't shot a deer. Although i got my son on his first buck! I did buy a muzzleloader tag for myself, i took one of Marty's rifles for a good 2 hour walk in the fog, and that was my entire hunt for the fall. Our club's 50th Annual Rendezvous is this summer. There are 2 remaining charter members left and we plan to have good shindig for them.
im hoping my new path and a new outlook gets me back on track with some of the things i used to do and enjoy doing with my family this year. including more time at our range and in the field. Hope yall are doing well in your endeavors... I hope to stay in the mix a little better now!
Joe
