Yes I do and thank you for that link. A lot of water under the bridge since then my friend.
Judge Blackahwk is not
someone I am familiar with but boy does he speak truth! I figure parenting is a blessing as well as a life long sentence.Those first nights when you only daughter is in a college dorm room hundreds of miles away, the restless sleep at night while they are spending their days serving their country in a land that is full of danger and the joy and privilege of seeing one of them make you a grandpa. This is what it means to be a parent.
Wow! That has been a while back!

I had a long post way back then.....
......about watching Hopalong Cassidy movies (I think it was Hoppy we were watching) with my dad while he was slowly reaching the end of his span here on Earth. I was reminiscing about how we had watched movies together when I was a child, and how our roles had reversed in his/our advancing years.
If I knew how to use the wayback machine, I'd sorta like to see that post again.......

Been a long time.
You can riffle thru these dates....
and see if, by some chance, it was part of what was saved. Often, navigation links will work on a page, after you find it dead on another page.

And don't forget Earp.
How's for a blast/ache from the past...
Man!!!!!

yep, Doc Hudson, Wilson, etc.
Back yonder
The old, old days were fun with Jim T. and many others. Not that it ain't fun now, but lots of water under the bridge for sure.
and there we are, many of us, me included
that's when the Clements bisley purchase started getting organized
still have mine and still a favorite.
I wish...
I wasn't financially able to participate in that run from Clements.
Another "Just Missed It" in a long line of same.

Indeed. Lots of things have changed.
But some folks are as constant as the northern star.
And some, such as yourself,
Are as much help to others in navigating the world of firearms, thru experimenting beyond the hype. I have a #1S .35 Whelen, in part due to your writings. Will not go Artificial Intelligence on it, though, as I do not reload it enough that case life a concern, plus, older shoulder and lighter loads used, anyhow.
And, aside from adoring the Whelen,
also adore the rifle. It may be a Sporter, but, with the large diameter barrel required for the Whelen, it has the Tropical proportions perfectly scaled for the cartridge, and of same weight and only 2" longer than my .45-70 Guide Gun. And near identical weight and same length as my Model 12 with riot barrel. A rifle a man can hunt with, througb thick and thin, without the need to be wealthy enough for a gun bearer.
