Uncle Russ, where are you
« on: January 08, 2026, 06:13:06 PM »
Anyone heard of or from Uncle Russ lately?
I sent him an email a couple of weeks back but no reply.
And he ain't been here since 10/29/25.
Kinda worried about him.
And Beaverman as well.
He hasn't been around since 11/8/25.
He has been incommunicado for a darn long time.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest Up to God.

I think I've seen him post over on the Muzzleloading forum in the past few days, you might try contacting him there.
