Ehh Buc...That might have came off a little course. I would never doubt yours or anyone else "fanhood" on this board. I'm just not much on negativity, thats all. Ive always lived by the "think positive and positive things happen"

I always enjoy reading this board more than any other b/c of the maturity level here. Its very different than some of the other Dawg boards out there. PLEASE keep the posts (pos or neg) coming. Always welcome open discussions w/ all you fellas!

First brew on me DAWG1277 . . . . stay true to yourself, works for everyone. You know, sometimes there is a fine line between positive and negative. No doubt in my mind that everyone that posts here has one common goal and that takes no explanation.

THAT is exactly what makes this board the BEST......the variety of posters. Gotta love it.


yd1.......almost came to Athens yesterday to shake your hand. We've been on vacation for a couple of weeks just outside Ashville, NC and I wanted to stop by Athens on the way home yesterday to(spend the night at the HIA) get an early jolt of energy from DAWGtown before getting home. When I pesented the idea to the family, they kinda said.......naaa, let's get home. So much for THEIR loyalty, huh??

Anyway, almost had a chance to meet you and buy you and yours dinner and a cold one. Thought is was a great plan....wanted to meet you and get the blood going for the fall.

Wish you'd have let me know, wlayton...you were less than an hour from me. I know we've met, but always nice to catch up with old friends!!!

Geeeez.....that would have been GREAT......more of a vacation for my wife than me, would have loved to have gotten together. Could have bought you a couple of cool ones my friend. How's your son doing?....would have liked to have seen him as well.

Son's doing ok--went in the army but got injured in boot camp and discharged. He's working at a body shop now. Where were you vacationing at?

My wife SOMEHOW found this place called Randall-Glen farm etc. Luxury cabins in the mountains actually on a farm like setting. Pretty cool really and very relaxing. Rode horses, kids milked a cow, hiked, panned for emeralds, rubies etc (didn't find enough to retire though). They had about 7 Great Pyrannies (sp?) dogs that were UNBELIEVABLE. They were "guardian" dogs and went everywhere with you, slept on your porch etc to protect you from any and everything. Sweet, very gentle, BIG dogs.....very cool. I would leave to go down the hill to workout and one would always get up and come with me (and stay the whole hour), without me calling them.....just their nature to protect you, sheep, or whatever. Best part of the trip for me.....then got home and saw DJ (my Bulldawg) and he looked like a runt....pretty funny.
