That means I have to start rounding up the pack Oryx on White Sands during the mating season. Did you ever get between a 1000 lb animal with 6 foot horns and his desired mate with nothing but a lariet to save your ass. I tried it once and was dragged up and down the range for two weeks before I could safely drop the rope. When you've seen one Oryx mating dance the next 50 or so are boring as hell, especially when the perpertrator keeps an eye on you in case you try to escape, the SOB thought he was the Oryx version of a porn star, pawing and preening after each act and waving those 6 foot horns at me as if he was going to do to me with those horns what he had just done to that hot bitch female. I finally figured out I was being used as he had found out the females were turned on at the sight of him dragging a humanoid around by a rope, they thought I was his pet, sorta like a hooker walking her poodles to get attention.
Go back to March when they are just getting over winter.
Bailey :cool: :D ;) |

UNLESS ... of course ... I can talk my wife into spending our 25th in Connecticut...
Not only that, but my 50th birthday is in July... and I've already got permission to get myself a 12-string! |

But it's really way to early to make plans |

| I'll have to bring my golf clubs and my guitar! Dam sounds like I might have a good time going to one of these fan club gatherings! Only thing I am not sure of is what color Tee to wear? I don't want to clash with Al! |

Phew! For a bit there, I thought we'd have to play with our Ovations. Viper for the tee shots, S/S for the long irons, mid-depth for the 5/6 irons, deep bowl for the 9 and wedge, and the applause 3/4 s/s as a putter.

Can't you issue some sort of bench order for MizHonor to relinquish control of the family pants back to you? :D |

Location: Germany | Since we here in old europe will never come close enought to New Hartford to take part of a factory tour, or if we do it will only be by great chance close enought to the date it takes place ...
how about puting a documented foto story of a factory tour in the members area? I've seen the fotos in from the 2004 tour, but without descriptions what and whom you can see - they are just memories for participants.
Im really interested in how they put some wood and plastic together to make such wonderful instruments. |

well I talked to Rick Hall last week and the tenative date is June 24. If this is the case I will not be able to attend. There is a chance Rick may move the date one week forward or back.
For the first 2 events I made the date unfortunately it is no longer in my hands to do it so I have no control. The downside to losing control of that I cannot tell you anything confirmed until it is given to me. I hope to get an updated e mail this week. |
