The Next Push...

jeweler jim

Taking today and tomorrow off to try and recuperate and catch up with things around the house. We'll be back out there on WEDNESDAY and hope to start erecting the last stage of steel. If all goes well we'll get the last of the shielding up and have the bank erected by the end of the next week end. This will mean that the only thing left is the general work of general lay out and final raking and clean up of the area (you know, what would have been the "normal" set up had the range not been a whole new endeavor from scratch). <br />
<br />
We're in the home stretch and I now look forward to our first shoot out there with confidence in the fact that it will be safe and give us many seasons of service. <br />
<br />
Kind of nice the way we've been scheduling the rain for our days off. But we have been the master schedulers regarding this whole project over the last two months. Did I say two months? Yes, that's how long we've been at this already folks. Truly a labor of love that I think some might have thought we would never complete, thus providing all the more incentive to "GET IT DONE." Thanks again to all who have added their time and efforts to the project thus far.

Perhaps some folks don't realize what this project has entailed over those two months. Five or six days a week, JJ & Asleep have put in 6-7 hours a day of hard labor with an hour and a half drive at each end. I know many others have contributed their time and effort too, but these two have gone far beyond the call of duty. I wish there were some way we could partially pay them back but I know they did it for the sport of cowboy shooting and the Good Guys Posse. Truly a fine example of the Cowboy Way and the Spirit of the Game.<br />

As they say, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going"!<br />

Manys thanks to both of you!!<br />

What DD neglects to add is that he's been riding out and back in the back of my van on all of those trips. Except a couple where each of us has possibly taken an extra day off to attend to personal business.

The simple truth is that without you three, this range wouldn't be. At least not at the point it is, and maybe NEVER at the point it is at. For that, I, for one, am truly grateful to you. I realize that it has taken a particular correlation of factors to allow this kind of involvement, and I realize that others have had to work for a living and not be there with you every day. Still, it is an awsome fact that you DID do what has been done. You can call it the cowboy way, you can call it love of the sport, you can commend all the dedication, but it's still an amazing display of shear grunt work, day in and day out.<br />
<br />
And for all that, I sincerely hope that heartfelt thanks from me, and many others will express to you our admiration and reverence. What a performance!

I'm sure that if you can provide a big enough audience, we can give you our "Humility Speech." (Perhaps I should be speaking just for myself and not the other two.)

These three have given blood sweat and tears for the new range! With these leaders, the GGP is a group that any one should be proud to be associated with! <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usabig.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':usabig:' /> <br />
