[Brett Beinke]

Hey all,

This is my 1000th post here. I wanted to make it a little different then most. Let me tell you about my morning. I got into the office at 7am. I did some emails and got in touch with Rick Frisch as he needed some help at a local dealer. I went over to one of our many fantastic retailers and helped unload a container of Green Head Gear decoys. To some this is no big deal but as the doors opened I noticed right away that great care has gone into how to correctly pack this container to maximise space without damaging product. There was most definitly an art to how to stack decoys of different size boxes to maximise this space. It was a great expereince helping the retailer out with this project. They were very thankful for the help since they had a no show for one helper and another showed up late. I just got pumped up knowing it was that time of year again. The decoys are arriving, fall sales are starting and the ducks and geese are starting to fly around again. I am looking forward to this fall and hopefully seeing some new faces as well as old ones at the events this fall. As you go to your favorite retailer and hand over your hard earned cash for our Avery/Green Head Gear product I just wanted you to know that there is a whole line of people that thank you for choosing Avery/Green Head Gear products. So, thank you for choosing Avery/Green Head Gear and I hope to share more thoughts, ideas, and stories at least another 1000 posts!

Brett,

Congratulations on your 1000th post. That is a lot of keyboard pecking! More importantly that represents a heck of a lot of support and information given by you, to our message board members & product end-users. Thanks for exemplifying the objectives of the Avery Pro-Staff by your selfless contributions to help others, Avery Outdoors, and the team.

Thanks also for the update on the containers. I unloaded 4 last year and it is indeed amazing how everything fits together like a big puzzle...no wasted space whatsoever.

Hey Brett-Congratulations on all those posts. Did you happen to unload any full body mallards? I think we're all anxiously awaiting their arrival at GHG dealers everywhere.

Brett - congrats on all the posts. I have a hard time invisioning an entire container full of Avery gear, it must be an awesome site.

Brett- You saved some for me for tomorrow right? You are right. I have to find out who packs that stuff so they can help me move! Show season starts this weekend for me- I can't wait!

Brett, you have a ways to go before you catch Jed.
Seriously, I know Rick appreciated the help unloading the container.

Brett, thanks a ton for the help, and thats a lot of decoys isn't it? Imagine unloading a whole container of basically teal! we did it in Memphis a few years back. Amazing.
