Riley in MN (now in MT)
« on: October 07, 2023, 07:51:20 PM »
I recently checked on Riley, and he sent me the following reply:

Hey Kees, thanks for checking in.
I'm still in Bozeman. We love Montana, but feel a bit out of place in Bozeman (college town).
After two years of hard work out here my employer let me go for incompetency - said I couldn't do what I'd been doing for the last 40 years. This just happened to be on the day after notifying my boss that I needed my knees replaced.
My wife's employer likes her so much that they hired me so that she wouldn't leave! For the last year I have been pumping fuel at the Bozeman airport. (Making more money than I was at the other job)
I am hoping to get out and shoot with some new ML shooters, as MT has a ML season now, and some of the guys I work with are interested. I still send folks over to the TMA when I hear them asking questions...
Oh, and in my search for like minded folks out here, I found a guy that was lining cast up for some TV shows, so I got into a couple shows as an extra. Fun.
I don't really have a computer, so am typing this out on my phone, but say hello to the gang for me.
