Firearm information for the enthusiast
I like my primary physician. Smart guy, pays attention, very much up to date and always there in a crisis. Usually, I go for an annual physical, then get my labs done and leave quickly before he gets the results. He sends me email and calls, alerts and alarms, regarding […]
1/11/2023 – I received some email questioning Skippy’s status. He is alive and well, front snow blower and three point hitch ballast mounted, and on snow storm alert duty. At the moment, I am waiting on some 4.5mm male bullet connectors so I can wire the two rearward facing […]
