 :wave Good morning y’all from snow-covered 0-temp east central MO. Not officially-in the clan yet, but check in the mail to Darren so thought I’d say “Howdy!”. Love my traditional long rifles, but I just need one more.

Hello there,
What Beaverman said.
I've nearly gotten myself in trouble with the old, "just one more" story.  But it's usually worked out well.  What's your next Just One More going to be?  And what was the last one?
Be well,

Jim, it was a pleasure talking with you the other day! I'm always tickled to see another Missourian join the camp. I look forward to reading your stories and seeing your pictures.
