This is quintessential Ostoski. A Rod original. A signature shot. Buddy, you have done it again. Since I wasn't there to capture this shot, I'm glad you were. Outstanding!

I have to have a bigger picture than this! I want to print this out and put it at my desk!

Rod, if there is a way, email me at john@benac.com a bigger picture. It's a crime to deal with low resolution on a beauty like this.

Nice work Rod! Has there ever been a time when both pads were occupied at the same time like this? V.
