Well, guess what? I got the time off. Me and the two oldest grandsons will be there.   Don't believe Earl is coming this year. And just to set the record straight, we ain't related.

Well Gents; and i use that term loosely, the countdown has began. After the wettest April on record here in westcentral Ohio, our corn crop is only 3% planted, in a  normal year we would be near 80% by now. If i'm gonna get off work to make this fandango, it's gonna hafta rain some more. A couple'a inches about Thursday otta do it!!!! If it stays dry, i'll be in the field. Dangit man. I know if i try a Shawnee rain dance i'll be shot, or shot at. Maybe by the dark of the moon would work. I'm still planning on being there but only Mother Nature knows for sure. Here's to ya, Buzzard

Well Buzzard, I hope you get your wish but I hope it only rains in your fields. I for one am getting pretty sick of it myself. I even had to cut the grass yesterday in the rain just to be able to keep up with it. In any case, I hope you can make it Jeff.

I'm going to bow out on this one Nobber.  It's the exact same weekend as the Oakland County Sportsman's Rendezvous, which is only 20 minutes from my house.  A much smaller affair, but a beautiful camp site & most of my friends will be there.

I'll try again next year
:(

I do wish I didn't commit to OCSC,Nobbler gave me heck at K-zoo fer not makin' it a couple of years ago! I would strongly reccomend you make a TMA shoot if at all possable! The TRR at Swamps is already #1 on my must do list of events. The fella's here are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!! :toast  :toast

Getting itchy myself Ed. Seems like that might have been a poor choice of words about this time last year.
