Say it isn't so Ken. I'm getting closer than I care to admit myself.

Kitchenaide is basically a Whirlpool product. Kenmore is made by Whirlpool. I also prefer separates.

Happy Birthday Marc!!!

RIP Ronald Schultz. Sorry for your loss Todd.

All day on the road driving mostly through rain. The few times the sun peaked through I was rewarded with an eye popping color cacophony. Arrived at the "resort" for my week of ruffed grouse and American woodcock hunting. The weather forecast this morning called for rain today (more than fulfilled), snow tomorrow and afternoon showers on Monday. At this point Tuesday thru Thursday looks like a good stretch of weather, so I'm optimistic. Internet service could be better but at least I can get on. Nitro seems afraid I might leave him as he is literally plastered to the my leg no matter where I go ... in cabin or out. Can't wait to get him out and see how he is progressing. I'm really missing Quest who I is retired from bird hunting. He and I always had a special connection that Nitro and I have never had. This cabin seems nicer than the one I stayed in last year. Updating is more current and even the appliances seem more modern. Time to finish getting settled and break open the scotch.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Wayne!!!

Happy Birthday Jim!!!

As long as you remember to NEVER fall in love with a car you're looking at and are ready to walk on a deal you don't like, you'll be fine. Never used it but like CarMax for buying a used car. I never thought buying a new car and getting a good deal was all that difficult. Easy to find the invoice for the car. kbb.com, nada.com, Edmunds.com & etc will show you the invoice cost of the vehicle. You determine how much you're willing to spend based on the invoice and taking rebates into account. The vehicle I just purchased I bought at invoice less two $1000 rebates and would have had another $1000 rebate but chose 0% financing instead. Another dealer was offering a minimum trade in of $5000 and our trade was worth $2500 due to unrepaired accident damage. That $5000 also came off the price when they matched the deal. I would not have pulled that off on my first new car, but easy at this point in my life. When it is your first deal it's not difficult to buy a car for $300 over invoice. Just have to be firm and willing to go down the street if they won't work with you.

Next HC party at your place Ian? Congratulations!

Happy Birthday!!!

Great looking meet guys. I used to host a meet. It was the friendship that stood out. I've forgotten about a lot of the gear we had.

Funny lady and two great comedians gone

Glad I'm not Larry's insurance agent. He seems to attract disaster.
