Gun Show

don't forget that someone might tape four quarters together and throw a dollar at your head ... doesn't seem like a smile would be the appropriate return gesture!

I threw money at him and ran with a box of Girl Scout Crack.

That warranted a smile!

Yes, I saw him pimping them out. But having coworkers with scouts, my freezer is starting to look like a hoarders ammo shelf.

I'd bet those $1 coins would hurt too

It was much the same for me...$9 for parking, $5 for admission to buy a $4 box of cookies from John. But on the bright side, I didn't have to get a background check for the Thin Mints...gotta love the 'gun show loophole'.

Don't give them any ideas.

Brought the kids out Sunday to see if anything caught my daughter's eye. She wanted a 10-22 with a purple stock. Go figure.

Walked out with a cleaning mat and bought the last three black AR mags John had on the table. Overall not a bad show.

I was thinking about going but how many Glocks can one look at. There is a fly fishing show this coming weekend. I have not tried it but it looks like a fun sport.

I am a novice...but you are correct, fly fishing is very fun...wear safety glasses

It looks like fun. I may give it a whirl this summer in Wyoming or Idaho. That show looks like a lot of fun.

I hit the fly fishing show today. It was pretty interesting. A very gracious gentleman I met gave me a 30 minute casting lesson on a beautiful bamboo rod that he built himself. This guy was quite a character as well as a very skilled craftsman. There was another exhibit of live underwater insects there that was quite interesting.

Be careful, LePetomane, fly fishing is a terrible addiction...
Years ago, I innocently took a mini fly fishing lesson, and bought a rod, reel, etc. Bought another one.
Maybe a third one???
Then it's the flies. Gosh, they cost $2-$4 apiece!
Took fly tying lessons. Bought a vise, thread, bobbins,needles, floss, fur, feathers, chenille, lead wire, copper wire. Mylar, eyeballs, beads, rubber legs, hooks, hooks, hooks, and more hooks. Fur stackers, dubbing needles, head cement,more fur, more feathers, more thread.
Now I can tie my own flies for only $6-$8 each!
Run, while you can.

Wrench, It looks like a lot of fun. If I had the time for another hobby this would be it. I was in awe of the bamboo rod that the gentleman had made. After a while I was casting pretty well. He kept reminding me to let the rod do the work. Nice show and nice people.
