I just got back from a nice family vacation, and was looking forward to catching up on all you guys' posts. You all must have been on vacation too. |

Lt Colonel Brad, The site has been very quite for about a week. Since there hasn't been a lot of activity, I have researched and submitted a few firearm related articles to keep busy. My wife & kids are dealing with a family crisis. My mother-in-law has terminal cancer and her last grains of sand are falling within the hour glass of life. Very stressful on the misses and children. I use this and the Sister RnG sight as an attempt to escape for a while. "When Determined To Survive, Leave Nothing To Chance" |

Lt General Chain, I'm troubled to hear that you and your family are forced to say goodbye to a loved one. Please relay my heartfelt symathy to your wife and children. Our vacation was very nice, and long overdue. With the hours I have been working lately, I haven't had the opportunity to spend any quality time with my kids, so this trip was especially rewarding. We spent 5 days at the JW Marriott Resort in Orlando. Went to Disney World one day, which was great fun for the kids. The resort was really nice, and we took full advantage of the pool's lazy river. I really got the opportunity to re-connect with my little ones. If any of you are contemplating a trip to Orlando, I fully recommend you stay at this hotel. It was very relaxing, and the staff were very accommodating. |

You're welcome General. I think you are right. The kids will always remember Mickey Mouse. I just hope they remember the time we spent on vacation, and the bonds that we hope these trips strengthen. |

That's a great deal! I'm going to suggest that to my boss. Of course none of my clients are from out of the state of Florida, so that kind of eliminates that aspect. |

Car troubles. Had to change the head gasket on the Bonneville. The firebird has a blown plenum gasket. The yearly trip to the state fair this past Saterday, and my son's ninth birthday party Sunday. Sorry to hear about the family, General; a good friend and co-worker, lost the battle at 8:35 this morning. He never made it a year, so I feel for ya ol'friend. |

Thank you Colonel, I appreciate your words and good luck with the vehicle repairs. I hope your boy enjoyed the State Fair. I am fascinated by the night time change, the crowd and general atmosphere, once the sun goes down. The fairgrounds are completely dissimilar from the day light hours. Years ago when we brought our children, it was an educational experience. Being from a small town the kids had questions about the ‘different’ people they observed. You know, some things just can’t be explained. "When Determined To Survive, Leave Nothing To Chance" |
