Hi everyone!

Well, I've had a little noodle around the place, and parts of it look and feel familiar!

I am a moderately-fat, moderately-old fella living on the wet west coast of Canada, and I USED to be pretty active on Mark Bitting's British Rifles forum... Long ago, in the last century! Then I went off and joined the Gravel Road Cops for a while, and procreated, and had slowly dying parents, and all that "stuff".

Anyway... I hope to be back, now, and dusting off the old girls in the safe, and finding a new jug of DBLO to polish their butts up again, and ... ammunition, I see, may be an issue - But I have a little on hand to start out, anyway!

So, looking forward to hopefully tracking down a few of the old crew, and making some new aquaintances, along the way.

Cheers, y'all!

Neal

Yah sure sure, Hoadie....at least they let me out of solitary confinement, LOL! For our members who don't know what we speaketh of, Agassiz has 2 prisons. One max-security and one for 2 years less a day inmates. Right next door is the gun range. Next to that an 1/8th mile race track then a large cemetery. And no, I am not an inmate of either correctional institution!

In my mind if you are a "friend of Hoadie" you should be institutional ized.
