In case anyone was wondering where I was.Had a great weekend shooting at the World Archery Festival this past weekend. The competition was a blast about 1800 archer were present. I did not fair as well as I should have but that happens sometimes. Met some great people from all over the US and world. We took a visit to the Atomic Testing Museum and that was cool. Lots of history in Nevada on this subject. They had video interviews with many of the original workers and scientist. On the way home we stopped and visited family at the Alien Jerky store in Baker California. It was a good to get away but always nice to be home.

I wondered why there were no comments or articles, we did miss you. I see you stopped in to see some of Mcspocky's relatives while you were out of town. Glad you are back safe and sound.

Hiram,

Looks like it was a fun trip. Okay, so I won't be rushing to volunteer to stand with an apple on my head anytime soon, but I'm guessing you did all right. ;-)

I loved the office shot. When I was working at a defense contractor about fifteen years ago, I think my desk looked just about like that.

Anyway, glad to see you had a good time. That's the important thing, in the end.

Apples are easy I usually use a cherry :-). My wife liked the office to she had a typewriter just like that for school. You are right the most important thing is having fun and that was accomplished in abudance.
