Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it. I promise I will post pics soon. Right now I am taking care of knit picky items trying to get ready for Turkey Rod Run.


I will say this... I had it professionally detailed today and it shines like a diamond in a goat's butt! I love my detail guy, he is awesome.

Care to explain why a goat would have a diamond in it's butt and how often you have witnessed this spectical?

Way back during my first tour in the Corps, we had a Master Sergeant that had all these sayings. He would use the "diamond in a goat's butt" saying when someone would do something that made them stand out.

That saying has stuck with me every since then. I pull it out of my tool box and use it when trying to describe something and really want people to visualize what I am saying/writing.
