Default And, inside the same

Excuse the mushiness. I noticed all of his correspondence uses green ink, any idea why? (I don't think he was dipping into the paint pot).

Dave ..
The ink he was using may have started out as blue but faded to green over time..
On the other hand.."Dalton" is as Irish as they come...I know ..I married one..
Good enough excuse to use patriotic green ink..

Alex, Is that your best shot?

That thar is a photo of a retired FOO Tech! He is merely outlining the "handspan distance measurement technique". This technique is used to judge lateral distance for correction to the fall of shot - The width of your first two fingers subtend 70 mils. He is just demonstrating "40 mils".

On a pleasant aside, Wild Bill MAY be in town in January. He usually shows up during the week, so SUNRAY may miss out on yet another Gracie's due.

Cheers,

Default Incorrigible....

Rob...
I give up...But did you notice,my "One finger saluter" did have a BLUE toque.....

That is good news about Wee Willy...
How about The slippery Major Mike...???
It's time he wet his Crowns..
I suppose he can speak for himself..
If he has to slip out of the country again ,he can at least leave you his credit card,then we could Limo Jif down and back to Gracies in style..
