Me-thinks he probably did, seeing as he came from the land of 10,000 lakes. There's only so much a Lutheran can and will put up with, and no where in the bible does it say, thou shalt endure the constant ache and pain of sitting on hard seats for hours on end. Heck, even the Lutheran church I was baptised in installed seat cushions on the pews. Of course, you'll have to get the right kind of cushion to preserve your purity - it'll have to have cotton batting with a 1950's ducks in flight pattern and be impregnated with copious amounts of engine oil, gas fumes, and sweat stains. I'm sure you can probably find one at any number of garage sales in the smaller towns or villages positioned on or near a lake. Probably set you back a whole 35.

I can't wait to bring the family out to Brodhead and other events and meet you as well. We look forward to it. Tools, I will sadly not be able to make it this year... but next year is a for sure thing as long as nothing crazy happens. Hope to be somewhere in the middle of my Piet project by then, with some hard work and long nights. Thank you for the hospitality. Ryan, as fun as it was.. it is time for me to rest and enjoy life. I am only 28, but my body is done... and my mind rarely lets me sleep. I am a hard worker, and have no problem learning anything new as long as it is something I enjoy... and have no regrets about my experiences in the Navy. MOS was Explosives expert (EOD) for the Seal Teams and Army ODA (Green Berets).
