Hope everyone is having a good Summer...

[Jonesy]

Summer is going OK here, been busy with trying to make a buck, taking care of kids and spending time with my girlfriend. Been doing a little shooting and a little fishing too. Might be taking a trip in a week or two to go stick some carp in the Eastern part of the state for a couple days.

Hope everything is going well for everyone with lots of health and happiness.

For now I think I'll just kick back and enjoy the evening...

Now that's the way to enjoy the summer Jonesy!! You need another hammock next to that one for your girl, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Actually, right to the left out of view is an Airchair, kind of a hanging lazyboy contraption. My girlfriend loves it, that's why I'm in the hammock, but I'm OK with that.

Hey Dom, my brother just got back from Germany last week. He brought some College Grad students on a tour of Martin Luther's stomping grounds. He was there for three weeks. Spent half the time with the students and the other half with some of my family that lives there. Sounds like he had a great time and wants to bring me next year.

That looks like the way to enjoy the summer.

The only thing missing is a nice glass of something cool.

Jonesy,
Looks like you're workin' way to hard in that contraption. You need a break...why don't you come out here and hop on a Tuna Boat in mid July with us out of Sandy Eggo. Probably not a lot of those swimmin' in your lakes and streams up there, right? ;)

If you don't grab the chance you are crazier than on outhouse rat. And take your lady also.

Most of the cities are beautiful. The history lesson is fantastic. My wife, family and I used to go to a different church almost every Sunday. As you walk up to the church you notice a plaque the reads "built in 1010". And you think, holy smoke, no pun intended, Thats 400 years before America was discovered. There is so much to see and do over there.

And rent a car, the country sides are spectacular and the little cafes, or Gasthauses as they are called are great.

If you get a chance see the Cathedrals in Trier and the one in Koln, thats Cologne in German. It was built over the top of Roman ruins during Charlemagnes time and has many historical artifacts from those times. That Cathedral was used by our Air Force as a navigation mark during the bombing raids in ww2, it is huge.

You are one lucky dog to get this chance. One other thing, The Nederlands, France, Luxembourg and Belgium are an easy drive.

Best wishes, Bill

Billy it's just a matter of money and time to do such an adventure. I've had a standing invite all my life. My father met my mother while stationed there. So half my relatives live in Germany. My Aunt and Uncle own a trucking company that truck stuff all over Europe, so I could jump on the trucks with the drivers and go all over. It will happen, just might be a while.
