Week late. Oops. Can't blame the weather on that one...
ReplyDeleteactually weather was a factor to begin with. then he hurt his back while in town (will have surgery ASAP) which kept him from going out to get his pots. he told the ADFG he was leaving them on the grounds and would get out and dump them as soon as he could.
