JerryBaumchen 1,434 #77 June 16, 2011 Hi Billy, Quote My dad is an engineer, he knows how things work. We ( us engineers ) all do. Hi jumpsalot-2, Quote Remember when all we had were Rotary Telephones and Analog Clocks. Last year my brother & I were making my mother's house more 'elderly friendly' & I finally tossed her black rotary phone that she had in the same spot since 1959. Hi david 3, Quote I remember being able to walk out the door of the house I grew up in with a shotgun and go hunting for rabbit and pheasant. That same summer of '54, when I had the paper route, I saved up some money & went up the street to a local store and bought a used Remington single-shot 22 cal rifle; just hand over the money & take it home. The rifle cost me $5 and the cleaning kit for it cost me $7.50. My folks, who both grew up on farms in North Dakota, never said a word when I brought it home.

Last time I saw anyone jumping a TriCon, it was Dennis Johnson in Southern MI. He had built a special back *main* container for it, 2" thick and covered his back.

masterrig 1 #96 June 16, 2011 That's pretty cool. Awhile back, I cleaned-up the stock, using an oil finish. Got many a bunnies with that single-shot. When I was 16, my dad gave me his .35 Remington pump action. I still, have it, too. chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my little cousin was the man...His first shot was with a Black Night 50 cal muzzleloader at 11 and got scope eye! He was all bleedin' n shit pretty bad. His dad wanted to take him to the hospital, but my lil' cuz was like "hell no, this is good experience..."Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...
