My wife may be upset with me in a few months.

Post by Gene S »

As the title says.

I have a co-worker that just last week bought what the video showed to be a M91/30 & just before Turkey day he bought a brand new car.
Now this young man isn't quite 21 yet & is a helper at the shop which by the way things have been looking from his area, I may be tempted to help with a car payment for the young man.

Been wanting him to take some pictures of his rifle so I can get a better idea what he has.

That's how it starts, then we find you trolling the obituary's and showing up at wakes mumbling to the family that you are the guy dear old dad had just contacted about getting rid of those junky old guns he had. Such a fine man, his passing is a shock, I was honored to have met him even if it was for so short a time, now , I feel I have an obligation to keep my word and help you dispose of his old stuff.....

Don't laugh, I know the guy who used to pull this shit, how he did it with a straight face is still a wonder to me, bigger wonder is that he actually succeeded sometimes.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
