Sorry I won't be at the Convention . I got a new job last August after being in the soup line for 10 months . I am a 48 year old Coal Miner and the days are long . Sure would be nice to be 25 years younger . But the good thing is I have lost 25 pounds ? And being short is a GOOD thing in under ground mining .

Rowdy, no need to apologize.  Your family comes first.  I am happy for you that you got a job.  I'm not sure I could handle eing a coal miner although I sure have burned a bunch of it as a boiler operator

Take Care Pard.  You will be missed.

I'm sorry that you won't be at the Convention this year. I am looking forward to meeting you at some time. Jobs are tough to find these days and Family is always first. Good luck with the job.

Rowdy, sorry you won't be at the convention, I still have that buckskin shirt you were
interested in. I wasn't sure if it would fit, but if you lost 25 lbs I'm sure it will now.
