and Dennis if you feel the need to move it...... Well, that OK too.

To me Christmas is a very special time because of my vertical relationship.....And, also because of all the great horizontal ones.

I am very grateful and humbled to be included and taught so wonderfully by members of this forum. Someday I hope your faith in my ability to learn to build beautiful guns will be fulfilled. You have all given me the greatest Christmas present I can ask for, your sharing of your work and skill, encouragement and time. I think that is the spirit of the original meaning of Christmas.

For those who don't celebrate Christmas, I appreciate your contributions as well.

I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday and that you find it encouraging and inspiring!

Merry Christmas...........Happy Hannakuh........or whatever sparks yer flint!!

Have a great Christmas. Make sure you are feeding the right wolf in the new year...tis the reason for the season...

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Merry CHristmas and may God's richest blessings come to each of you!

Rick, that Two Wolves story is GREAT! Where did you ever come across it?

May we all nourish our better wolves this season, despite every commercial attempt to drive us into cynicism.

From the snow-less Low Countries, enjoy Christmas and the best wishes for the new year! Funny world climate: we are at the same latitude as Labrador, but we have not experienced a White Christmas since 1981 when we had 4"of snow.
Today, temperature is plus 3C, but at the end of the week it will drop to minus 3 or 4C, and we hope there will be again the 200 km "Eleven cities” skating tour; the last one was in 1997, and the winner did it in less than 7 hours.
Back to ALR: work on the Jäger is progressing slowly; I decided to change from brass furniture to iron. The TOW brass was a $#*! to file and polish, and had not the simple lines I wanted for a no-nonsense working rifle. The brassware for the Lancaster County LR has been polished for me by a younger, stronger friend with more stamina, in exchange for some lock parts.
Now we have to pack up to go to our kids and grandkids where we will enjoy a slow food dinner.
All the best to all!
