    I went last year and had a great time. Just wondering if any of you guys will be making the trip. Received my program book the other day. Looks like a good time as usual.

    I got my program yesterday, have to get in touch with Terry Dean and a few of the Honcho's to see if they have an extra room for me or if I have to bring the Motor Home, then if I can get one of the free spots that the ATA gets for the chosen few or if I will have to pay extra ... If this don't pan out I guess I will just have to go and watch the grass grow (in Arizona) or just sit back and wonder ... If all else fails I can always go to Cardinal Center and eliminate the guess work altogether ... I got a really nice catalog from Gamliels also, they are such nice people and they never forget us good customers ( I have never bought anything from them yet), but you never know you know ..? Can't believe how much 100 gallons of Fuel is going for these days .. Decisions, decisions ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Not this year. When I tried to get a cabin in Ohio for the Buckeye and Ohio State shoots and couldn't get one I went ahead and scheduled the 2 surgeries on my legs so that is taking up most of the summer and the fall is looking like a few more surgeries (back). I just hope I can get in our Zone II and the Autumn Grand in Tucson before they do any more surgeries.

    LOL, the sarcastic side.

    Me, I'm thinking about painting the house and sitting back to watch it dry.

    theloudone,
    Get a sense of humor or at least common sense , as flyers said "Sarcastic side" ... You not knowing me would be a great excuse for you to limit such comments, AGAIN ... To jog your memory " I will never shoot a target at Sparta, have had people offer to pay and I had to turn them down ... I am not interested in Sparta, anything that happens in Sparta, or any of the so called Honcho's (in their mind) that go there" ... Shooting at or in Sparta is not something I think about, or would ever consider doing unless it was in self defense ... If your going have a good time, enjoy , suck up or what ever it is you do ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    It's best to wait and see if the ELECTRIC BILL is paid first. Drive all that way and find ELECTRIC IS OFF.

    Why would the Coop let a bill like that go that long unpaid? I think it is a bogus bill !!!

    I don't think mods should post much...at least not as a mod. But when someone questions the integrity of this site the rules change a little.

    John let's say you and I make a little bet on the issue. You say it is fake. ;)

    Merlo says it's the real deal.

    So lets make a wager. One that will teach even you a lesson. For some folks it takes a larger wager. I will put up any number you want. That Dysinger guy can hold the money and the State of Illinois and Egyptian power can confirm that you lost your ass.

    Until you find money to lose I suggest you not question the authenticity of documents posted on this site. Many of the members here take that personally.

    John,

    That official state stamp that says "Natural Resources Law Enforcement - Springfield Office" may be a clue.

    Now would be the time for Egyption Electric to exercise their right to dis-connect electric service to Force the State Of Illinois to pay their Electric Bill, This would send Credence to the State of Illinois and IDNR of Failure to pay their Bills. If I was President of Egyptian Electric in support of our Co-operative to stay Solvent and keep our present Bill Paying members our low electric rates.

    The IDNR Sparta Electric bills have not been paid promptly for approx. a year now.

    This is an IDNR Responsibility not an ATA Bill. A lease is a lease, the ATA needs Fire Protection Equipment operational, to notify local Fire Departments, and electric to Fire Suppresion systems operational for Insurance Purposes, Do the Insurance Companies know their Policies may be in Jepordy?

    I Know If I was an Insurer I would serve them notice, as Millions of $ are involved.

    I can see the Newspaper Headlines now " Fire Destroys IDNR WRSC Sparta Facility, because of Failure to pay Electric Bills" Alarms did not function to notify local Fire Departments.

    ATA EC & BOD notified to bring buckets for the Bucket Brigade they will be handling Buckets.

    Fire suppression pumps for Sprinkler heads in-operative w/o Electric Service, If Fire happens at night I hope the Neighbors do not think a Weiner Roast is happening at the WRSC, and not pay any attention, HOF building and contents Burned to a Crisp. Insurance Company refuses to pay because of Lack of Electric, due to State of Illinois not paying Electric Service, I wonder how many other Illinois Buildings and Universities have had their Electric Bills Paid?

    The State of Illinois is infected but by a disease far beyond the Mold and budgetary issues at the facility in Sparta, Ill ... The Parasites in control (politicians) can care less what or who gets paid as long as their paycheck isn't late, and they use it to maximum advantage ... The bill is legitimate, why it has not been acted on is any body's guess being as they are regulated and not subject to recourse of the Politico's if they choose to shut down the services to the WSRC ... I'm not sure if there are fire suppression pumps or just hook ups for engines (Pumpers) to pump water to once they get on the scene, there is no doubt a sprinkler system but they are not always supplied by fire suppression pumps especially in rural areas ... The alarms would be a different story ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    How many people on this planet are dumb enough to make that statement. Especially with the official stamp on the right side. I have it from a good source Merlo will have a more recent statement.

    Publishing another statement would allow John to pursue other matters like raising money for the flat earth society.
