Sure I could.
It was just like the any number of guns that you have purchased and promptly gotten rid of over the years.

It’s a shotgun. Not a wife.


Out there doing it best I can.

I've never, in 66 years of shotgunning, bought a shotgun and "promptly gotten rid of" it. You're speaking a foreign language AFAIAC.

But then, I don't buy them on a whim, either.

That was for John.

It’s a nice shotgun.
But the ergonomics for upland gunning won’t work for me.

Lots of alternatives out there. No reason to fight the thing.

Then again, I never thought of a Super Black Eagle as an upland gun, either.

Oh well, one man's meat is another man's poison.

For Christmas I scored a brand new discontinued Galco canvas and leather gun case. More importantly, rather than what was under the tree, it was friends and family gathered around the tree!
Wishing everyone a healthy and happy New Year!

You already know this, Stan, but you have yourself a treasure there.

Amen! We're about to gather 'round the table for one last CHRISTmas meal. What a blessing!

I got a digital hygrometer for my safe. A simple 40 watt bulb keeps it at 30% and 74.6 degrees. The wonder rod I used to have ended up getting dangerous. The rubber end got so hot it completely melted. So I decided to go with the light bulb a couple years ago. Looks like it's working fine. The light bulbs last about six months and I have enough stored up to keep me going for a several years.

Stan,
I understand why his note means so much to you.
