He said he met you there. I am picking Ted up around 5:30 and heading out. See ya there!! Would love to be a back seat passenger on that road trip! Tell ted hi for me Joe. Yes indeed, a road trip with those two would be fun. But still, six hours.....there better be hookers and whiskey too.

What's she gunna do for the other 5 hours and 58 minutes?

2034? Did you time travel 12 years ahead yesterday and buy that rifle and bring it back?

Just got back from the Albany show . Didn't find anything I had to buy but picked up some 33cal winchester bullets at a really good price. 99's we're pricey and didn't fine any ruger #1's

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!
