A few pics
It seems like we don't often have much to contribute to the blog but I've gotten some photo's lately that may be of interest.
Jenny had been wanting to take a personal defense type class since the purchase of our households first handgun last spring. While exhibiting at a show in September I ran into a business acquaintance and it turns out that's all he does for a living nowadays. Arrangements were made for a surprise B-day outing for Jenny to get some one on one training.

She loves shooting firearms that hold lot's of bullets, note the smile on her face as she pulls the trigger to her hearts content. It's safe to say that her shoulder was sore for some days afterward!

Shortly thereafter we went on her first waterfowl expedition. Dad was kind enough to help as we wanted to float the Grand River. We parked our truck downriver and he took us (and the canoe) back upriver to drop off. It started off a bit rocky as we had started smoking cessation (first week) and tempers were short. After overcoming a technical difficulty with her shotgun we were off and hunting.
Jenny was able to bag her first duck which I used to train Tessa for retrieving back at the house on our pond. Big difference between retrieving toys and something with feathers in her mouth!

Michigan State and played an uneventful 3 years in the NBA. Jenny and I ponied up to a bar in Lansing a few years back and happened to sit next to him. He was affable enough and we had a nice conversation, talked about hunting among other things.

Although he may come off a bit goofy he's no mental midget by any stretch having gotten a business administration degree at MSU. He curses like a sailer (which I enjoy as well) while talking about the complex financial stuff he does with his newly formed company. He's a good dude and I'm glad I could talk with him again today. Anyway, he came in to buy some product and I couldn't resist the juxtaposition photo of a near 7 footer and one who isn't.
