I'm all about new and functional...however I would love to get my hands on a colt python...it's like the revolver of all revolvers...but it is no longer made
I had a show on tv last night and they were "restoring" a gun. I wasn't paying attention to it and didn't catch what it was, but it was an old lever action. Anyway, I was confused as to how they were "restoring" it because they replaced everything except for the receiver and then proceeded to carve a bunch of decorative patterns into it including a big buck.

They said collectors pay big money for these "restorations" and I'm like, if it was my gun I'd be pissed. Hell I don't even own the gun and was kind of pissed.

I didn't even own the gun and I was.

Especially when they pressed a new made on date into the new barrel. I didn't quite catch it, but the way they said it, it sounded like it was the restoration date that got pressed.

if the lion can see you, we can see you too...

I was going to post a meme, but man is it hard to find a pic of a male lion stalking prey... I mean those cats have life all figured out, let the ladies hunt, kick back and rest all day... actually that kind of resembles my life right now. Does that make me my own meme?

I've got SADD (Seasonal Depression). At this time of year I have a full spectrum light next to my desk and computer and replaced my reading lamp light with a full spectrum bulb. The full spectrum light really does help.
Mine is by my bed

The guy that runs my shop said that I can get it upgraded to a 50 watt bored I think...I'll have to ask about the details on that
Lemme know what you find out about an upgrade. Had not heard that before but haven't kept up either. I'd use mine again if it could hit 50!

How long have you been doing that and do you have a light you recommend? My wife has been having issues with depression during the winters since her hysterectomy about 4 years ago and I wonder if one of these would help.

I hope that he didn't hurt anybody... and I certainly hope that after all those shots that they hurt him...
He killed a soldier guarding the WWI memorial first... There were 2 others too they are looking for.

Fortunately I'm not bothered by the cold and actually sort of enjoy the winter since moving from CA to IN. It's probably because there are fewer people out in public...
Where you at in Indiana?
