Richard has the best job in the whole wide world working with all the pups and Mark and Karen.

A solid recon mission for sure. We have the same Honda 4-wheeler, except mine has a sticker on it that looks like a band-aid that says "Stupid Hurts". I tend to need that visual reminder....often.

Looks like everyone had a good run thanks to Bets' supervision and making sure all went off without a hitch - Way to Go Bet!
