Friend DZ,
Sorry to hear you have the Krud. That's no fun, for sure! Drink lots of fluids, and get plenty of rest. Take a couple of days off from work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
All you need is an action wrench, my friend.
I have an action wrench.... And a barrel vise... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Darn! you got me thinking again..... Expect a call in the next few days... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Glad you like your new truck... They just keep getting better and better all the time. I still have my ol' Z-71. With no plans on getting rid of it. Next time, I expect, I'll buy a Yukon.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for your contribution to my retirement. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Friend Edward Grasshopper,
No problem. We are home almost every night, except Saturday evening (Mass) and Tuesday (class). And most days I'm just bumping around the house.
We are showing signs that we might live through the KRUD. Karen is coughing her lungs out still, but we are feeling generally getter. Given a few more days, we might actually be back to normal (whatever normal is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)
If you decide on the barrel and dies, you will find the 6-250 to be the nicest cartridge to shoot and splendidly accurate. Also, from a ballistics standpoint, running 70-grainers at a gentle 3300 fps or 95s at 3,046 fps is very impressive.
It is such a natural situation; the action has a pinned-lug and is made for switch-barrel. And THIS is the switch-barrel. Even better, it has an article, writ by himself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
I'll even throw in a personally autographed copy of the article. Now there is a deal-maker. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
It is my total pleasure to add
greatly to your retirement by our purchase of the Duramax. We've named our new rig I. C., which stands for Idle Chatter. Not being a total fanatic(???), I dislike the diesel noise that most oil-burners make but, for some reason I really like the muted rattle of the Duramax. And the Allison six-speed transmission...WOW.
Edward, as you know, Karen drives a 2004 Tahoe (all same Yukon, except for shiney washers and badging). She is just delighted with it and I must say it has been a totally flawless rig. I can only believe that the future incarnations of it will be flawless++++. We saw the new 2007 Yukon/Tahoe at the Portland Auto Show and they are NICE.
Remember the afternoon we spent together; you, your brother, Karen and me? Just eating that fabulous pizza (no pork <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) and blabbing away about hunting, shooting and other fun stuff. The perfect weather on the patio and the wonderful total friendship. I revisit that afternoon often.
Talk to you soon,
Your friend Steve
