Xplorer Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yuppers, I'll be drilling holes at the Kiwanis tournament on Fish lake Saturday. Looks like we might get an inch or two more on Friday with a warmup into the teens above. Wow, does a trainwreck with casualties sound good right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
