BW> I enjoyed seeing your pitures of philmont.  
I've been showing them off a bit lately.  :-)
 BW> I forgot to get my guys
 BW> togather with your guys for the merit badge.  I have 
 BW> been really busy here lately. 
No problem.  We just barely started with it.  I've been super busy here too 
at home and the office.  I'll be at work for at least a few hours each Sunday 
until at least the end of September, and have been working about 10 hour days 
since I got back.  The house and yard have been neglected to the point the 
neighbors are pointing it out (politely, so far) so I've got a few things to 
do at home too.
 BW>  BTW, I will be going to Philmont 1n 1999 
 BW> with a friend of mine from Baltimore.
Time to start your exercise routine now.  :-)
 BW> How was the scoutmaster get togathers at staff camps 
 BW> this year? 
Pretty good.  Met lots in interesting folks.  We arranged informal advisor 
gatherings at a couple of the trail camps too.
 BW> Did ya run into any scouts from Japan or Europe?
No, not this trip.
 BW> Well, my dad made it to the Jambo ok.  He got to 
 BW> Tennessee and called to
 BW> tell me why he wished he had my truck to drive there 
 BW> because his car had
 BW> broke down.  He spent 4 hours waiting to get it fixed 
 BW> plus 3 hours
 BW> waiting for a tow truck.  My dad makes me worry to 
 BW> much. 
At least he is doing alright now.   I always take the van in for a checkup 
just before a trip.  Saves a lot of concerns.
 BW> BTW, when did your troop decide on the shotgun 
 BW> weekend?  Me and Mark are
 BW> getting togather to plan our course of training 
 BW> tomarrow and we need to
 BW> get a firm date, maybe third weekend in September.  
 BW> Let us know.
We have not had enough of the group back from vacations yet to set this.  
They *should* be back this week.
We have had some recruiting success, as we are back up to 7 scouts as of this 
week!
 BW> PS-I love using my dads computer while he is gone; 
 BW> more power than mine.
Even more than your "new" one?
