Tiring Day

[tabs]

Well as promised I headed on down to the Riviera, went straight in and did my business in the Antique Gun room, took another quick look at the 1877 Sharps...drooled a bit and walked away with a tear in my eye. Bought a book for $60 on Martial Colt Single Action Armys including Custer range serial numbered guns from the author.

Then I went over to the High Grade Sporting Gun Room...including shotguns, double rifles, and magazine rifles....You talk about money....you need cubic dollar bills in that room, think in terms of Porsche money for a double Shotgun. You want a Purdey try L120,000 sterling... a Holland and Holland oh about 65K will take one home...and it goes on and on...never have I seen so many High Grade Guns in one place. I saw one gun in that room that I woulda dropped my pants for...an that was a English Whitworth Target rifle from the 1860's...beautiful condition...17K. This paticular dealer marks everything up very high.

So ended my day at Beinfields...and I headed over to the local gunshow being held at the Cashman center...the local show caters basically to locals and the only thing sold there is Modern stamped metal and plastic guns. A friend had told me there was a Colt Single Action Artillery there, but it was allready sold by the time I got there...so after talking to the dealer a bit I headed on home...Since I was gunned out and Buffeted out and I wasn't feeling all that hungry I stopped at one of the local casinos and had a Chicken Fried Steak dinner and headed home. When i got there I plunked myself down in my recliner and smoked a Cohiba while I watched the History Channel and the Untold Story of the Little Big Horn. I afraid to say the program didn't say anything new, nor did it give very much information about the battle. The one thing it did do was bad mouth ole Georgie A Custer. I suppose he does deserve to be bad mouthed though.

ok, i had a BETTER day! i took a spin to marin county, with my amazingly cute girlfriend that is crazy about me, and my dog that likes me almost as much as she loves my girlfriend. didnt take the 911, but it didnt matter. stopped at an oysterfarm, watched them shuck two dozen. one for the bbq pit and one on the halfshell. two cold ass sierra nevada beers and a secluded walkway with a lone picnic bench. ate my oysters with my girlfriend. fought her for the last bbq one and WON! dog asleep at my feet. not a goddamn seagull in sight! watched four older dudes in new vettes pull up thinking they are all bad@ss with their heartbeat of america leather jackets. and i picked up 50 extra live oysters, bag of ice and head back home. just one hour away.

LIFE IS GOOD, three day weekend!

I use guns as they were intended. I don't see the point in collecting them. We duckhunters have a saying: if ya can't row your boat with your duckgun in an emergency, it's no good. Thank god for synthetic stocks - my Benelli makes a great oar ......

Went to beach, bought new (second-hand) road bike (Giant TCR2, 2000 model).

Mmmmm, summer.

Got up at 6am today (Monday), went for a ride. Legs hurt now. Work is boring. Oh, and I took the boring car (VW Golf) in for service, and am on mountain bike. It has started to rain.

Mine is easy.

I am in Memphis. And Elvis HAS left the planet.
