Hey Orion -
I'm still payin for missing the afternoon - just now leaving work.
I wouldn't wish my job on my brother-in-laws ( well maybe one of them anyway).
Very happy to have gotten one early this week - as you are well aware, the hills are alive with the sound of shotguns this weekend in Illinois and the processors will be buried.
Yes - for the purist out there I really should be butchering my own - and I agree. But for now, the guy I use I trust, and between the cash to get properly set up and the time, it's not going to happen for a few years.
