If I ever reach "money is no object" and find myself with an extra 3-4K, I'll be posting pics of my pair of historic battle rifles ... a 1903 and Garand, each original with matching numbers, naturally

Of course, THAT day is a looooooong way off. Between my ongoing rehab expenses (shoulder not drugs - lol), home improvements and the IVF we've just begun the only thing I can afford right now is a penny for your thoughts.

If the IVF works, I suppose I'll be able to buy something new after college!

If it is a girl, forget "after college", you'll have to wait until after the wedding!! Ask me how I know.

Well, like something like these.


The second one last year.


Both of my "babies."


Sorry, don't mean to brag.

The humility around here is ... humbling

That's a fantastic collection, John!
