    Retired small town Police Chief (30 years) Also own and operate Security business installing security cameras, access control and alarm systems. I had to take early retirement due to medical issues. Now enjoy the forums and making all types of snack sticks, sausage, brats and anything else I can put into a smoker. I just recently finished converting a large commercial refrigerator into a smoker.

    mfrievalt congrats on your retirement. Small town cop is a whole different game. I grew upnin a small town and it can be very political depending who thinks they run the town.

        ND Mike yeah I’m working 12hr nights and saw this. So I reread the whole thing and enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. At least it’s off to a good start. 👍

                                    RON PARRISH Doing “things” that make you happy is paramount. Especially, doing it at YOUR own pace. The grandsons first fish is epic and I know it makes YOU smile. Nice job. It’s one thing I cannot do AT ALL. Thanks for still having that skill in your bag.
