I'm back....
« on: March 27, 2009, 03:20:08 PM »
After a long absence, I am finally back.    Have a lot of catching up to do.  Just can't wait to "critique" some more guns, ha.

Welcome back. Do you think you will have to be re-trained in computer skills?

Hey Pratt guy, we have a famous old amish saying, two words....the second one is "thee".   Thanks for all the other NICE comments.   Chas, glad to hear you are out there beating out some swords, that's the best cure.   Are you coming in to
Ft. Frederick later next month?   I'll try to make it for a day, would be good to see you.......Don

Ah.....Fort Frederick.  Went there for my first time last year while working in DC.  It was so awesome, 130 plus vendors.  Spent all my perdiem I had saved up for 3 months, and then some.  I was a walking stimulus package.   Would love to make it again this year but I won't.

Don,

Nice to see you back on board.  Maybe we'll cross paths at Ft Frederick.  Are you coming down to History Meets the Arts this year?  I understand all three House brothers may attend.

Kunk...yes, will be at Gettysburg.   The rifle I am now working on is being done for a guy from Danville, Ky.   I expect to
have it finished by then and hope to bring it along.   Will try to get those House guys to take it along back to Ky, and
have my guy pick it up from them.  Not sure which day I will be there.....friday or saturday..........Don

Don, I don't think that can be done, not when you just take off and come back whenever you please.

How's your blood pressure now?

hahaha. I will pass on your request to Dennis.
