Default Saying fairwell for a while...

Just wanted to drop a line in and tell everyone fairwell for a while. I will not be able to check in on the board as much as I like for the next year or so. It's my turn to go back to the sandbox. Anyway, thanks for all of the help in the past guys and can't wait to get back. My wife has already agreed to a big block and 6 speed in my 76. I wish you all well and will check in when possible...

Glen...

...back to the sandbox....Just know you and your family will be in my family's prayers as most everynight we pray for the men and women serving and their family's everywhere.

Also, from an old ammo guy whose walked a mile or two in your boots - try not to look important (that one was easy for me to do ) as it draws fire, keep your head down and your powder dry!
