> > > > Where in the world is everybody? I'm sitting home with a sore throat and chest cold, bored stiff. RinkWorks was down for a while and there was nothing going on at the various Cushman sites. I haven't heard from my sister who uusually emails several times a week, and there is nothing from the man who is restoring my Allstate Cushman. Mid-day, mid-week TV is the pits and it's too warm to watch the fire in the fireplace. My wife is reading a book that she can't put down. I could turn on the scanner and listen to the police, but they are probably not too busy right now. I've lost my appetite which might be a good thing tomorrow. Oh well, back to the Weather Channel.

> Wow! Sounds like a heckuva shot! We never bought turkeys for years because my grandfather always won them at his Field Trials. He ran Beagles for a hobby. How many grandchildren do you have?

Five. 3 boys and 2 girls. The oldest is almost 14 and the youngest just turned 2. Chris is an excellent shot. His daddy is a good gunsmith and a collector. He used to hunt, but hasn't lately. He taught Chris how to shoot and be safe when handling guns. They have a target in their back yard.
