I will definitely be there.

[azrednek]

I'm going to try and attend. Currently have a scheduling conflict. If I can re-schedule the medical appt without waiting several weeks I'll be there.

[Pinsnscrews]

As of right now, best answer I can give is 'if I am in town, I will be there'

[Larry Gibson]

I'll be there.

Have Fun,

Sorry guys I have to miss it. Got my schedule all botched up. My medical apt is tomorrow
but my gun club meets on Saturday at 1:00. I have a close friend that lost his eyesight after being wounded in Viet Nam. Despite his blindness he is an avid gun collector and is depending on me to drive him to and from the club meeting.

I would like to extend in invitation to all of you to attend the February gun club meeting for a future Arizona Cast Boolit get-together The meeting is held at a VFW in the Sunnyslope area. Possibly we could all get together after the meeting and grab a bite to eat. Unfortunately non VFW members and the public have access to the club meeting but not to the bar area. Something in regards to the VFW's liquor license, the bar area is strictly VFW members or the member's guest only. There are numerous restaurants in the area.

The gun club is geared more toward collectors than shooters and hunters but all gun people, their spouses and family are warmly welcomed. There is never any pressure to become a dues paying member. I can assure any of you that might be interested it wont be a waste of time. Collectors bring in anything from modern to antique, sporting and military. Not necessarily guns, sword, bayonet and militeria collectors are participants.

Each meeting in a small way is also a mini-gunshow. Members often bring in guns, gun related or military surplus items for trade or sale. Before and after the official business and the show and tell portion of the meeting. There is often some wheeling and dealing.

I'm probably killing a golden goose for me as I've scored some real bargains there on molds and hand loading components. About 6 months ago I got a Lee mold for only 2 bucks. He had a few things, what he called "junk items" for sale. I asked price on the mold and he said "oh how about a couple bucks". Another member beat me to the 5 partial and nearly full boxes of Sierra 7MM jacketed bullets for $10.00. The seller, a retired MD was more interested in showing off his factory custom shoulder stocked late 1800's Colt Peacemaker.

As much as I'd like to ditch the meeting and meet up with all of you. I can't leave my blind friend looking for a ride at the last moment. If you guys discuss a future get-together and might be interested in meeting up at my gun collector's club please let me know. I can't give a date for the next meeting as the meeting area has to be scheduled around VFW events and needs. I will post the date as soon as I get the monthly newsletter.

Hope you guys all have a good time as I kick myself in the butt for not paying closer attention to my calendar. I'll be looking forward to meeting up with all of you at the next get-together.

BossHaug made me aware of this meeting late yesterday. I plan on being there and I think he may show up also.

[Bosshaug]

I do plan on making the meeting. I presume we will be eating there too. (I know I'll be hungry).

[Artful]

It's Today!

[azrednek]

It's Today!

Hope guys all had a good time. Sorry I missed it, if you discussed a future meeting please count me in.

[brtelec]

Just got back a little while ago and I have to say this was a really good bunch of guys. Had a nice time and hope to do it again. Any of you guys that did not make it, hope to see you next time.

Ok, who ordered the nacho plate? - Thanks for sharing - getting my tums now - durn JellO-peno's. Good Grub IMHO - didn't try the beer as was
on two wheels today.


Where's the Cute Waitresses at?
Although the Waiter we had was very good.

Good time for me
- glad to meet up with you all
- Shall we take the next one on the road?

Larry mentioned a good spot over by him

- Shooting close by and good food over on the west side of the state

- I was thinking close range pistols and Carbines in Pistol caliber fun guns
and of course your 22LR - if you can find ammo for 'em -
bring your favorite's and we can all swap and try each other's out?

- I got some metal targets so we can get instant feed back.

- What say you guys for a repeat meet up
- End of Feb or first of March? For those with conflicting date activities
please up up what date you could be free - you know who you are.

[brtelec]

I know who I am!

[bangerjim]

I know I didn't see anyone like those ladies...

It was good meeting all of you and having a face to put with the handle.

I will try to make the next one when it is set.

Thanks again.

We indeed had a good gab-fest, and good eats, too. I'm the only one who drank beer, and I feel - well - I don't know how I feel. Flanny's worked well, I think, but son Jim says that the Ben Avery area is swamped with eating places, so that will be a destination in the future. And a trip West to Larry's bailiwick sounds like a deal, too, as well as the gun club there in PHX. We will do it again...

[Artful]

Echo you going to post the picture?
