I will PM you an address. (as soon as I figure out how to do that.)
Unless the board preferences have been changed to allow standard members to send PMs, you will need to use the link to send him an email. It was set up that way because Chris didn't want people fomenting "popular revolutions" against the site admins via PM. Supposedly it was a problem in the previous forum.
more likely he was worried that his shenanigans would catch up to him. Oops happened anyway.

and Vonz - no worries.

I am flattered that you consider me a source of corruption in this connection. I certainly will try to spread the good news, at high velocity, to as many delicious animals as possible :-)

Remember "Caimlas" at the old place? Supposedly PMs figured big in his banning. That was another guy who took donations supposedly to help him get his family through a rough spot, but then not long after was bragging about the new rifle he bought. Ironic that he was banned, IIRC, by Chris.

Thought of you several times in Slovenia the past couple weeks Denis. Everytime I saw a stand in a field or along edge of a wood. Saw quite a few actually.

Could I possibly change my order from 2 boxes of the #2855, to 4 boxes? After an email from the Senior Minions, it seems that I'll need more than 2 boxes. (They have a plan, details to which I am not privy, involving a plethora of these projectiles, delivered at velocities in excess of 2400 fps. It involves IMR-4350, in copious amounts. And it will all end in tears, I just know it!)

Slovenia? Lucky you - beautiful country, great hunting (I've not been there yet), friendly natives, pretty girls, nice food and decent wine. Have a great trip!

Hooray - roebuck season is almost upon us - only two weeks to go. Pou'll start to see bucks moving around during daylight now, marking their territories. The little ones will still be in velvet. Now if I could just get some bullets...

Splendid. I love a plan! Hi, Minions :-)

Yeah really nice, developed but still quiet, uncrowded, pastoral views up against the Alps and down to the Adriatic at Piran and not overrun with tour crowds. Sort of feels like the Shire. You can just merge in with the locals.

Back now, was blocked from the site the whole time. We stayed 2 weeks at my sister's in Ljubljana (Crnece) and explored from there. Met and ate with different local and expat friends of theirs several times. Buses are great/easy to figure out in town. The old town area makes for a great walking town. Coffee and gelato stops multiple times along the way every time we walked. Feels more like a village than a city. City castle on the hill is a good climb and worth it for the .

Made several trips out and around the country. Still have more to see and dear wife is eager to revisit Ljubljana in the future. Walked around Lake Bled and toured the castle. Went to Postonja karst cave and Predjama cave castle. Drove for to Venice for an overnight. Neither I nor dear trophy wife got enough of that city or area.
