There are two ex-pros in town.
One, I'll listen to and take his sage advice. He was a decent NRC pro and a great NRC director.
The other? If he pipes up again and tells me that I'm doing it wrong and the whole group, who have been riding for a combined 200+ years, are doing it wrong and 'are a bunch of dumbasses', I'm going to beat his ass with great venegeance and furious anger.
