Gun Change & Conditions Report

We are almost done with Series 4. This the last gun change. We have a party to go to !!!

The weather is changing still, we had a small storm cell grace our grounds but it did not provide us with much moisture. The screen on my computer is so dust ridden I have to keep using my Purina towel to keep dusting it off just to see what I'm typing.

It is rumored that we are leaving these grounds to travel to another property for Series 5. Stay Tuned...
