I'm feeling I'm feeling spry

Hey everybody, it's Ron Baim with the Hunting Dog Podcast. It is the 5th of August, right?

Now normally I do this on Sunday mornings, but I'm going to be gone this Sunday. I'm going

to be busy Saturday. So I'm going to throw this podcast out. You'll probably get it on Saturday

morning or Saturday afternoon, because I'm going to be gone having fun with a bunch of

dogs on Sunday. But I'll fill you all on that next week. In fact, that might just produce

its own podcast episode, what I'm going to be doing. So let's just get on with the show, as

they say. I always thank my Patreon patrons first and foremost, and you know who I also like to

thank my Patreon patrons. It took a while to get this done, but Garmin, one of our many sponsors,

Garmin for Patreon patrons. Monthly, we're going to have some monthly giveaways. This month's

August giveaway is going to be an Alpha 10 with a collar. That's right, an Alpha 10 with a collar.

That's right, because they don't bundle them anymore. So you're going to get to Alpha 10,

and the way it's going to work, any new Patreon this year, and even if you sign up in August,

is going to have their name in the hat and running to get this. Now, if you've been a patron,

since, let's say, 2021, which means up till December 31st of last year, your name's going in

the hat twice. For those of you patrons who have been patrons since 2020, three times your names

going in the hat. And I know a few of you have been patrons since the beginning of the show,

and you may get, what has it been now, five years, six years? I don't know how long it's been.

So that's how it's going to work. And we're going to be doing a lot of stuff with Garmin and my

Patreon patrons. It's going to be fun. So if there was ever a reason besides the Zoom room,

and the discounts, like the ones you get on, you know, with wilderness athlete, canine athlete,

pike gear, Walton's, gunner kennels, those I just posted them on to the website for patrons.
