Thanks for the advice, I believe I will take it. We have a Coast Guard station in town. The Zebra Mussels really cleaned up the lake, it has been quite a transformation.
Before I got on the PD I worked downtown Cleveland for an Armored Car Company. I mostly worked downtown and the east side of Cleveland. What a zoo. This was before the big fix up/clean up.
Cities got alot of potential... but...
We went to the fish hatchery near Sandusky a few years ago, I could not believe the amount of fish that were being released into the lake, they were many and they were huge.
Being near the lake is nice. If I walk to the end of my street and look north I can see the lake.
I've always wanted to go to Perry for the big shoot, it's only about an hour drive from here. Getting together for beer and pizza would be great. I'll start stocking up now.. hahahaha.
I'm bedding the action on my rifle Monday. The 600 yard matches are in August. I'd love to make it this year but Mrs. L has a trip to wine country in mind. I'll see if there's any way I can do both.
The CG safety class is excellent. You get a sticker upon completion and it'll save you some hassles if you get stopped for a 'safety inspection' For some reason I don't remember it costing much at all. One other thing you might want to invest in is one of those handheld Marine Band radios. They've got the Weather Bands built in and they sure can come in handy. A decent one will run less than $150.00 or so. Make sure you get a floating case. Just trust me on that. LOL. Pretty cheap insurance if you ask me.
I grew up outside of Akron in the 60s and early 70s so I remember some pretty wild times myself. I was in CF when the NG shot those kids in Kent. I remember Dad sleeping on the couch with a shotgun because the peace loving SDS types had threatened to 'burn the burgueois in their beds'.
Nice folks those peace loving hippies.
