Yeah, good job , John! You should have been a sportscaster or maybe you are!
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

John, Thanks for posting, and the narrative. What a hoot !

I believed every word until you quoted Ruby. I know what she was really thinking- "I shouldn't have eaten all those steaks Seafire gave me last night..."

Seafire - thanks for the photos and clever script. Much appreciated - adds a nice bit of afterglow.
But, your timing count was WAY off on that one sequence.
Must remark about Darby's very fine .220 Howell for which he has given a ton of effort working tricky brass and getting to a good load. Rifle is built on a Nesika action with custom fluted barrel and a top quality trigger. Am thinking that scope is NC Star.
Ruby called last evening to say she had licked up a puddle of oil from under your SUV at camp, and it made her tummy sour. Did your valve cover gaskets leak on the way home?

Paul,
Darby's Scope is a Weaver... it was given to him...
But I know he does have a batch NcStar scopes.... but Joe is very clever.... gets some decals made that say Leupold, Swarofsky etc... and tells folks the scope were custom made for him... ] Yeah, I tried to keep Ruby out of the oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, but something in them appealed to her.. maybe Kent was dumping his chicken grease on it thinking no one would notice, which they didn't.. except for Ruby...
The valve cover gaskets didn't leak too bad on the way home, since I changed them... I'll do that again in mid March.. once a month ya know.. thanks for asking....
Give Maddy a hug from me and the rest of the boys...
cheers & best regards

With that High Speed propeller on the front of your rig you could have crossed any flooded wash. Really enjoyed our time together. Thanks for helping Gaberiel and Michael get involved in hand gun shooting. Hope to see you soon. Dug Win (Common spelling)
