X-Mark and I had the pleasure of shooting the match in Yuma where they had a “progressive sweep” as described. We were on a “Southern California” posse and the MD was from Southern California. Being “Progressives”, they use that term for the sweep that is not a Lawrence Welk/IRS sweep. As they move out of the Republic, we can reprogram them. NN

Yul: I was beginning to wonder if the Jedi Cart would ever be done. You seemed too busy doing carts for raffles. Not surprisingly, the wait was well worth it. Fantastic job. And you have my roll top too! Enjoy it, my friend. Clearly, the Force will always be with you! NN

Counting down the days until F&I! That means Winter Range is close. NN

OK Rye. I'll take 5 flats. But you have to deliver! NN

Seamus: And you didn't load up the truck? NN

You must have had our weather because it was cold, windy and raining for our match today. Give it back! NN

I am doing the same thing next week. I am going to WR.

Bubba: What happened? Swiss and you were down on the list! NN

I have gone to Yuma for two years and enjoyed it. I was scheduled to drive to Yuma today but was asked to do a eulogy this afternoon. I decided to pass on Yuma and go to Cajon to remember Calamity Candy this Saturday. Yuma will be on my schedule again next year. I hope all the Cowboys and Cowgirls shooting this weekend have a wonderful time at a great match. NN

I am shooting at 11, so I can help on the speed events from 1:30-4:00. NN

Aces was built by Niftybytes, a company owned by Pit Viper (Ken Nelson). CONTACT INFO Call 877-643-8911 @NiftyBytes sales@niftybytes.com http://www.niftybytes.com/o They continue to work on programs for USPSA, IPDA, Steel Challenge but I don't think they have done anything with Aces in years. I haven't talked to Ken much since I started SASS, so I am not comfortable calling him to find out what is up. NN

I had the privilege of knowing Curly Sue. She fought a hard battle. No matter how she felt, she showed up to matches with a wide smile and pleasant disposition. Curly Sue was an inspiration. The entire Las Vegas cowboy community feels the loss. Prayers up for Montana Prairie Dog and the entire family. NN

Congratulations Kaya. Something tells me this will only be one of the many accolades you recieve in your life. Slim, you best be grinning from ear to ear! NN

Yesterday was a sad day and a huge loss to everyone who knew Candy. I am not a Southern Californian but found myself at Cajon frequently. Candy befriended me and made me feel like part of the family. I was always on her posse and we had a great time; even when the targets kept moving. She was an inspiration, tireless worker and friend to many. My best wishes go out to JJ, Debby, Rudy and the grandchildren. While we share in their loss, it is hard to imagine the grief they must endure. Our hearts and are prays go with them. Nels

Thank you Slim.
