A note to my fellow G&G members: I may have to drop out for a while, because I've changed jobs (we contracted out and my old job was given to some low-paid civilian), my family structure at home has changed (my daughter and her daughter moved back in), and I'm looking down the barrel of an Air Force Unit Compliance Inspection - the dreaded ORI, as it used to be known - early next year.

Somebody was talkin' on our smokin' porch about his 6mm Hawg gun... I told him I had a couple of pix of a hawg that would have ate up his hawg gun.
I personally wouldn't get around one of these big tuskers without a couple of LAW rockets in my backpack. I'm a devout coward who enjoys living too much...
