    At Last!!!!

    Well I have been living in a 10x10 bed room since my wife passed sold the house, moved to the country on my Son's and Granddaughters land. They had a small house 600 sq ft. they were using for a store house , I bought a used trailer and they cleaned it out. They did l
    all the remodeling , it had to have new sheet rock a window , new doors , shower and paint , well you get the Idea. Well it is finished enough to move in They didn't mind me staying in the house with them , but I did. Now got to find all my guns. I haven't been able to shoot sinc last year . I was sick in hospital the my wife took sick and passed in January. It has been a tough end and start to the years now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    Best wishes to you, Freightman. So sorry about the loss of your wife...I know that it's hard to move on, but thankfully you still have family and aren't alone. It will be great that you can get back to your hobby.

    It was long ago . I remember driving to Amarillo with 6 other shooters from our military rifle shooting club for one of your military rifle matches . We did ask why the targets were so large at 100 yards and tried to explain that 10 shot targets were going to be a problem to score . We did reset your club record 7 times with the 7 shooters even though your scorers could not "find" all 10 of our bullet holes in the ragged one hole 100 10 x targets we turned in . One of our guys also won the scoped sniper match with an iron sighted rifle . We were asked not to ever come back . It was fun .

    Good to see you around again, Freightman! I still have some hard lead you sent me. I finally retired, myself. Changes in life are going to happen.
    Good Luck,

    Frank, it has been a hard year for me also. You are not in it by yourself. I will put you on my prayer list.
