Congrats to everyone who was there. Isn't the 817 a new Alberta record? The weigh off was run a lot better this year. Thanks to the organizers.
Thanks for the 10th place finish Ernie, however, I believe Mary Lobay had one at 288 or so and put me out of the money and in 11th. My 271 was 30 lbs light on the 2003 scales.
Sorry I coulnd't stay for a beer guys, we had to head back to the kids.
Your're right, soil prep is already on it's way. Let's keep the snow away for at least a few weeks.

ps, you probably coulnd't read my handwriting on the entry form, it's Makarchuk, sorry
