I have my location in my first post.......it is Mpls. Mn..........WAAAAAAAAY up there, but it is still nice out....Gonna be 70 today and low 80's for the weekend,.....heeray!!!!(woops, hOOray). a guy might be able to do a little schmokin' this weekend???

Yes I see it is in your intro but if you add it to your profile, it will show up to the right of your name in all your other posts. You can simply put the state if you like, it just helps to know where you are located when answering questions etc (for example I live at 8500+ feet above sea level, so cooking/baking etc takes a bit longer and in some cases other adjustments at this altitude).

We've been having 40's and 50's here with clouds and scattered thunderstorms...doesn't stop me from smoking though!

 

[hoser300]

My apologies, ..I just found the part you are talking about and I filled it in.....Thank You

[hoser300]

Thank You for asking....and I am proud to answer yes,........actually I have 3 of them......and also to go with those scores, I have 3- 800 series too.

 

[hoser300]

May I ask....do you bowl? and if so alot? leagues?...tournaments?

 

[mossymo]

Glad you joined us Joe! :welcome1:

 

[rtbbq2]

Holy smokes, great job. I bowled a 300 once but it took me 2 games and had to total the score from both games.....

.......I can shoot much better than I can bowl...........................

On a serious note..................Congrats on the perfect bowling games.............

 

[hoser300]

Thank You........shooting?..as in skeet?

I used to shoot trap, skeet and tower. Now I shoot hand guns for sport and proficiency. I also do some bowhunting for deer and bear. Hunt ducks, rifle hunt deer and do some pheasant hunting too. I am one of the sharpshooters who bowhunts the city parks culling the deer herd here in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Each hunter hunts one park per year while the park is closed to the citizens. Our organization sends sharpshooters into about 20 or more parks every year. I love the woods and all that God puts in it. Here is a video of a ten point buck that walked within 20 Yards from me while i was hunting a St. Paul suburb Park....I was tagged out so I could not shoot this buck. Enjoy the video!



Thanks for asking........Randy
