Bird Dog Round Up = 2005 and 55^th Anniversary of the Bird Dog

Fredericksburg, Texas= Sept 18 - 21 2005

From : May 05 Bark

IT W= AS A DARK AND WINDY NIGHT WHEN......................

o= ops, sorry wrong story line. Actually it was a bright = and sunny day and it was recon time. Our LBJ Ranch fly-in coordinator, Ba= rney Hulett (former personal pilot to President Lyndon Johnson), had asked us to fly to the Ranch and reconnoiter the layout for parking 55 Birddogs on the ramp during the Roundup. At precisely 1400 hours (occasionally we actually get lucky = with this sort of thing) two Birddogs belonging to Mitch Leland and Jim Mulvihill were on the overhead break at the Ranch. Below them lay the past= oral setting usually reserved for postcards: white puffy clouds, green rolling hills, grazing contented cows, a small lake on short final and a magnificent 6,000 foot landing strip nestled between the hills. Not only is this = the home of the former Western White House, it is and has always been a working ranch. It was difficult to tear your gaze from this magnificent setti= ng to the rapidly approaching terra firma of the runway. Knowing the Birddogs propensity to slap you around if one becomes = lacksidaysical on landing, it was time to refocus.

Safely on the ground,= we met with Mr. Hulett and examined our options for pa= rking. From the ground it was obvious that parking the large group of dogs w= ould not be a problem and that we had several options= as to placement. Too soon the meeting was over and we taxied back for takeoff. The scenery was still magnificent and the Birddogs roared do= wn the runway and lifted into the sky. Truly a day to be remembered and = just a taste of the opportunity that we will share with our fellow doggers come the September Roundup.=

Home De= pot Military Discount

&n= bsp;

Just wanted to inform everyone that this indeed was the case. I am putting in a new flower bed and spent a lot of money with Home Depot t= his week end. However, as I was thanking the manager for the Memorial Day Disco= unt I was informed that this is the norm at Home Depot. Their policy is to give= a 10 percent discount to anyone carrying an ID card everyday of the week year around. I have also tried this and it is indeed true, so all you do it yourselfers need to get going. Additionally, Lowes does the same thing.
