Pat, being the generous man he is bought me a bunch of stuff from Bucees, including a T-shirt I saw my stepson wearing this morning before I even unpacked the damn thing.

Welcome to my life.

And our other Pat, bought me some beaver balls.

I took Bucees snacks to every blind.

On top of that, Pat also saved me the TSA hassle by letting me use his 22-250 that was just a lethal bang-flopper on pigs.From the TSA nightmares I heard Joe and Brian suffered at Dulles, Pat likely saved me a couple extra hours at the airport.
