What does it cost?

One of the rewards in life is if and when we learn to find joy, that is not too man dollars that we can not afford such.

I had a bud years ago that had a huge gun collection, lots of $$$. He is also Mopar guy with the "good" stuff, several hemi E bodies, etc., big fancy garage. He flew to Quail hunting trips down South, Pheasant hunts in S.D. etc. One day we were talking his recent quail hunt down in S W Ga were I had lived decades ago. Funny he was at a farmer neighbor I had lived right down the road from. We get to talking guns and all, he asks to see "my" guns. So I explain how I had never had any fancy guns. I show him my .38 special revolver, dad carried as a side arm in Korea, an old Winchester model 12 pump, my father in law carried in Korea, and my favorite, an old bolt action .22, model ???? He laughed.

So I explained, yea, I had the "good" Mopars back on the 80s.90s and I have worked my way "down" to those I enjoy the most, "common" cars I can build to suit me, drive and never worry. He then tells me , "he gets it". Does he really??

Then I explain , IF we were back in S W Ga in Sept. I would take him to a "dove shoot". He gets all excited, and then I explain he would take his high $ shotguns and a case of shells, he would go to the far side of the field, and I would go to the cow pond, sit on a 5 gal. bucket with my bolt action .22, open site,and shoot the doves in the head when they land on the sand!

The guy with the most doves buys dinner! Would no be me!! :thumbsup:
