Hi Kevin!! My wife and I like to give forever homes to rescued dachshunds and if we could we would have a hundred of 'em. I guess we all have a favorite breed - and to that end we have rescued a lot of "mutts" too. It's always great to meet another doggy lover too!!!! :iconbiggrin: I looked...

Used to work for DEC over in Westfield - lived in Chicopee and Holyoak. My brother still lives up there in the hills and works for Kmax down in Hartford. I'm allergic to places that are snowy and cold so I got the blazes outta there and moved to California and currently living near Nashville...

Hi Robert! Did you play around with the really old dual rail launchers or the single rail one's? Of course now days they just shove the bird down a hole in the deck and don't have to do all of that business of getting the next bird in position to load. The below deck launching system is after...
