At the moment my wife and I are going. I have been talking with Sandy Ackerman and she indicates the show will go on. It is about 3 1/h hours for us as well and we travel the Molly Stark Parkway theough the mountains so our trip will be weather dependent. Right now it looks good.

6 hours and 7 minutes, that 7 minutes might push me over the limit. I'll have to see if I can find a co pilot.

Ratz, thought you were a shoe in! Did you see the flapper yet? Actually, I thought you might know a couple and bring them along.

Three of the guys that hang out at my WV camp fire, all with 3 shots, all got it 2-3 weeks ago. Can I untake my shot?

A friend told me yesterday that some doctors say the vaccine is more to lessen the symptoms than to prevent covid. I had the vaccine, got covid, wasn't very sick and am fine now. I got the vaccine due to several underlying health problems.

I got the vaccine due to several underlying health problems. That's their new line. But when it was developed, and for almost all of last year - their claim was that being vaccinated would prevent you from getting sick. You could get banned from any social media site for even hinting that a person could catch COVID after being vaccinated. And when Omicron is over, and the next variant comes through... we'll see how that goes. The one thing I'm sure of is that they have no idea.

I was wondering about him. I met him in Syracuse 2 or 3 years ago. He picked me out of the entire crowd. I was amazed. One way or another I make an impression. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. REALLY looking forward to this. We are leaving here no later than 5:00 am. Should be there by 8:30 or so.

Had a GREAT time meeting triple deuce. David Sheldrick was there as well as Fug and poconojack. Saw no 99's worth a second glance. Reloading supplies were going at a price that made me proud I hoarded over the years. I have enough to keep me going for the next two lifetimes. Saw Marshfellow and as always he had wares that would make anyone drool. I think Ted picked up a nice Winchester Mod 70 in .257 Robts. All in all, a great day.

Hopefully we can do it again in Syracuse or Baltimore!! The ONLY thing worth coming home with was the conversation we all had. It is pretty bad when you can go to a major size show, come home, open your own room and safes and have a FAR better show without all the clutter. Thanks guys, it was FANTASTIC.

Indeed. Such camaraderie is far more valuable than the acquisition of material objects. Envious of y'all.

Some of my longtime friends (five) that I've hunted, fished, rode horses, camped, shot, and consumed certain liquids (back in the day) with over the last 55-60 years will get together before some of the guns shows we attend for breakfast before the show and/or for chow after. Usually stroll close at the shows commenting on this and that, meeting others we may know, always alot of fun BSing on this and that. Always makes for a good time. Makes for alot of good memories of shows, more than what ya see. Alot of the guns and such we've bought over the years are long gone, but the memories of certain stories and funny instances are still there. Makes upcoming shows where we get together more anticipating.

I'll never look at gun shows quite the same after spending the weekend manning a table and ending up with the covid. Lost two months of my life to that schit! Had a gun dealer friend used to call gun show attendees booger pickers. I see why now.
No offense to present company.

No offense to present company. I heard a seller at a show one time say that just about everyone who walked by wanted to stick their finger down the muzzles of his guns. Maybe that accounts for some of the "funny" muzzle wear we see on guns from time to time. They must be looking for "bore boogers"!

Yup it's good to be on the other side of the table once in a awhile, I know after 7-8 hrs maning a table at a show I wore out mentally. About a third are buyers, the rest well then there's the Rest!
Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!
