Hail Call from North Dakota!

Smoking Duck · May 14, 2009, 07:07:01 AM

Hey all,

I'm now a resident of North Dakota. Been extremely busy working 14+ hours per day. Got a little break with some rain yesterday and don't have to work until 12:30 pm (central time) today so I thought I'd give a shout out.

I can't say that I enjoy being here because the family is still in Indiana but I try to talk with them every day. I very rarely get to jump on the computer anymore but wanted to check in and say Hi and that I'm doing okay. I've found that I'm terribly out of shape but that should change pretty soon.

Haven't seen my family for about a month and miss them terribly as well as all my friends here. Not getting to smoke much but I do have to do about 60 pounds of pork butt for a graduation party next weekend.

Hope all is well. If you're trying to reach me on the cell phone, please know that I have zero coverage in the immediate area and really have to travel about 45 minutes before I get coverage.

Take care all,

Marc

Hi Marc

Good to know that you are surviving this thing. Any chance of the family driving up for visits? If this is not going to be temporary, are you going to move the family up?

Wishing you the best,

Rick

Hang in there Marc!

Having been on several deployments in the Military, I feel your pain in missing the family.

Thanks for posting to keep us up to date Marc. Was just talking to 10.5 the other day and had asked him if he had heard anything from you lately. Good to hear you are hanging in there.
