Let's have a National Single Shot Rifle Day, Slim, see if ya can google up the patent dates and we'll use that one. We'll celebrate Rollers, Sharps, Ballards, Trapdoors, 1885 Winnys, R-H's and many more to many to name. We'll even Celebrate that best of Rooger Rifle's the #1, as long as we don't have to invite that Red Headed Stepchild version, the stainless one with the lemonnatted stock. Heck we'll even invite the H&R Handygun, I've had a couple and like them. PS fer Slim, if ya buy yer hat 2-3 sizes too big ya can pad the brim with toilet paper. Then in an EEEmergency SITuation you will be perpared. Tighten the windstring when the paperwork is done and yer good to go again. (If ya can make it ta tha saddlebags and the exxerity roll. )

Slim is in charge a 'memberin' but I declare next Oct 7th ta be National Single Shot Rifle day. We can ecen have a moment of silence fer those who are not lucky enough ta have at least one. (SSbolt 22's don't count but 1871 Mausers and such do.) Might just have ta get me a Gun Parts barrel and finish the Psedo Walnut Hill I got most of the parts fer. And as fer National Toilet Paper Day, times runnin' out, if ya ain't done yer part yet, get goin'.
Its Brett Favre Day in Wisconsin. He's starting his 200th consecutive game. Pretty awesome for a Quarterback.
Alfred Packer? Him I've heard of, the other guy I don't reconize, the hat looks like the one that Jack Nicolson wore in "Easy Rider" but that don't look like Jack. And why has he got his underwear hangin' out the front?
