I was going to wait a while to do the invite, but since the subject has come up, go to Ray's Last Birthday by double clicking here.. https://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1411043/m/625103033 and get your personalized request for the honor of your presence. It's about 10 posts down. Black tie is optional, but no bare midriffs for anyone over 30 years old.. and that includes Ray. It is a darn fun time. There will be door prizes, an ensuite toilet, table dancers (albeit the mayor of Wyoming) and special sausage. If you've wanted to meet 30 to 40 of the best guys that post here and learn about some great safari venues and b.s. stories, come! JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous. | ||

The beatiful ladies in the photo like me better than they do the rest of those hairballs...Their husbands told me so!! so there!

Ray, in case you are wondering, the group photo that Rusty posted is actually in focus. Just got off the phone with Butch and he said he's keeping you company at DSC. 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||

BTW, this old dog ain't chewed his last bone, I even picked up a nice check at a local team roping last week, beat the socks of a bunch of those young tough whelps...but kinda like Vegas I lost it all in the next two ropings, so I am still about $40,000 to go to break even on truck, horse and trailer etc. etc etc. and at 106 its not looking good! It's the most expensive hobby one can have short of hunting ..... Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

I tell y'all between Retreever's sausage at Ray's Party and HogKiller's jambalaya at Jeff's debut of the "Electric Beaver" stock duplicator I don't think I've had better fare! Damn good eat'n! Judge we need a bigger room! Especially if Hogkiller get the "Fight'n Texas Aggie Band" to march through and play a few songs! Focus? Bof us? I thought the picture was great considering it was taken through a glass of 15 year of Long Morn. Frank's pictures were a whole lot better! Of course I think he was a bit more sober!

Lets all have a heart to heart talk with Ernest, he gave me a bottle of mineral spirits, no thats mineral oil last year taking my age into consideration it was a fine jesture, but after a lot of that high dollar scotch went down his honers drain, he thought the clear mineral oil was Vodka and drank the whole bottle, poor child!, look like a duck with the shit slung out of him the next morning!! Went back to Georgia where he belonged... Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

Hi there Michael. I am trying my best to get it on the calendar. I had so much fun last year I wouldn't want to miss out. I have hired on with a new company that is adding dates to my photography schedule. I really like them as they are booking me to do some travelling for them as well. They are sending me to photograph in Tahoe in October. We were originally scheduled to be on the Queen ( a paddle-wheeler) but that party got too large so we are going to be on a private estate overlooking Emerald Bay. I do need some additional "candids" as my file of retirement "blackmail " photographs needs to be padded up a bit to include enough money for Africa. Such as how the Judge was raising money for Ray's Roping Saddle and "saddle-belt" to keep from falling off. And Such as the one right before this one. Frank | |||

From all of the hooplah you guys are creating about this party, it gets people excited, but from the pictures all of the cups look empty, and the picture of the gift giving I can't figure out what the bottle is. It's either some good 'shine, or at your guys age, mabey hemroid creme........ Mink and Wall Tents don't go together. Especially when you are sleeping in the Wall Tent. DRSS .470 & .500 | |||
