rock on yea i just saw that...ill probably blow in it then...ill have to make some videos and have you guys help me out with the routine

[BigR]

I think I will definitely blow in the Novice, but I don't think I am going to blow in the open...50 bucks is a tall order for me, unless people want to start the, "send Ryan to the Great Lakes Open fundraiser". :D :D

I'll be there, it should be a good time. I'm glad it is in March instead of Feb. There are way to many contests in Feb and no one would really be there. I will blow both novice and open duck. The open is going to be STIFF I will promise that. Guess I better learn how to blow a duck call!
