I go snap, crackle, and pop

My mother used to say, “If I ever wake up and nothing hurts, I’ll know I’m dead.” I’m beginning to understand what she meant.

Hey fellers, we got some young'uns in here. With that said, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy the palaver

82, love how these old threads get rejuvenated. Can’t say the the same for aging.
We are on a cruise, Bermuda, the walking is killing me, otherwise enjoying it.

Haven’t shot ML yet. Have a friend with a revolver that he hasn’t shot yet, but we will when the rain stops and we can get together. My goal is a 32 - 40 cal longrifle.

Hi Brian

I think that may be some sort of record. LOL

I'll be 74 next month. First started shooting "real" black powder when I was 14. But, if I include the toy wood & metal Parris guns from the 1950's/early 60's that shot cork balls with grennie-stick-um-caps, I was 8 or 9. LOL Never out-grew it.

Just turned 74, this side of the grass, upright, taking solid food and not in jail, Thank you very much! Third out of 20 at the last woods walk, so content with that...

 

[RJ]

78 yrs young.

 

[Jedidiah]

I will turn 74 in two months, God Willing. So far so good. I have owned ML's for 50 yrs but do not shoot them very often because frankly, i am to lazy to clean them!!! I need to do better!
