Haven't Seen You Since Last Year...

- Hereford bull -

It's always a surprise when it turns out that winter is really here, although it comes every year. Just like we're always surprised by baseball sized hail every summer.

Hope everyone had good holidays. Here's the update on two Rotan Advance Roby Star Record issues:
