I feel the love...or something close to it.  Better be careful about that. I hear wimmins get prego that way, feelin' the love and all. Geno PS good luck with the docs, whatever date they manage to get you in to look at you. PPS are they thinking of putting in a viewing port to make it easier to see what's going on in that brain the next time you go back? I hear modern polymers work wonders.  Thanks Geno...I think. I think they are going to plug up the holes so all I don't lose any more air.  Well, as long as they don't put a tire valve in and fill you up with beet juice like a tractor tire, I'm sure you'll do fine. Geno

Still no sticky?
I will be there solo, plan to arrive noonish on Friday. Niki has a speaking engagement again in ABQ, same unfortunate timing as last year (she can't leave the conference till it is over on Friday afternoon).
Looking forward to the gathering.

I (us) am still working the schedule. I thought retirement would have ended it...

I will be needing help with the shooting stuff. We picked a dumb weekend for me and completely my fault. My javelina hunt starts Friday morning and I have to go to Mesa and back Saturday morning...

Would love to say for certain that we will again be at Tonto Basin, but that probably would call for a minor miracle at this point. Dennis, if we were to get there I would be happy to help you with the shoots in any way.

I can help, as well. Don't really have anything to wring out this year.

Another thought:
iF AND WHEN THIS THREAD IS MADE A STICKY, COULD RICK KINDLY REMOVE THE "2018 SW New Mexico Camp and Shoot" ONE BUT PRESERVE THE THREAD ELSEWHERE FOR REFERENCE (IF NOT ALREADY NORMALLY DONE). THANKS.

whatever needs set up or done...
last I spoke with Milo, his volunteer work has him anchored at home in Redding...

two weeks out.
This year we have many who are ailing and won't make it, a tough year.
Probably 18 to 25 folks when we usually have 30 to 40... it'll be cozy.
