Great to see your name here Bill. So I'm glad that somebody is going to get their heads wet this summer. How is the Beer Brewing coming along, still at Etna? Going to get to my favorite place in Aug. Will be doing WizBanging...aka....highbanking with a dredge nozzle. Bedrock is close to the river so will have good water source, and easy to dig a settling pond. Gonna give it our best, but won't be like the old days dredging anymore..

Yup,still at brewery. Remodeling and building our place we bought here in hamburg. Repairing suction hose and wet suits from the friggn bears.Kept a nice low profile for a while, piss fir willy backed off. They do have eyes on these forums so there goes the fruit basket again! Lol! Gotta compliance site inspection coming up, its nice to have over a mileof claim that takes a 45 minute hike into. The part we are working requires a rope to get down into and out. 5 gallon metal gas cans pack in nice on a dry vac frame. Debb's oldest son just deployed for Afganistan, but before he left he gave me an early fathers day gift, a weatherby 300 ultra mag ! He handed it to me and said "happy fathers day and this will take of your bear problem" . We already have one skin hanging on the gun room wall! Next fall there could be a rug also! Talk to you all later. Thanks!

Weatherby 300 rocks ! Jus' a word of caution on gas--stinkn' new regs cdfg say gas/oil/misc must be at least 100' from water and containment under engines if you haven't seen the latest failed EIR they promulgated anyhow-would really like to see ya finally get your dream going again and respect to those who refuse to cower down in the midst of tyranny-tons a au 2 u 2 -John
