I look forward to rainy days in the summer as it give me an excuse to work on inside projects. The storm is scheduled to hit us tonight and tomorrow. I've got some Parker related data projects in the works, and am looking forward to some time in the studio.
Charlie, is your squirrel season open now? Ours is, and it is supposed to cool off after the storm passes. I intend to have some squirrels in the freezer come cold weather so that we can make some Brunswick Stew (and that's from Brunswick, Virginia, not Georgia...for Mills' benefit). I've been seeing lots of young squirrels at the farm. Yum!! Enjoy your lazy day!

Charlie, let me know how you like the Crack Shot, and whether it's the older model or the newer. I was in the market for a Favorite when I came across this Crack Shot for pretty short money and I couldn't walk away. It's been fun...

We 'educated' a lot of chipmunks with a crackshot using dust shot at my grandmothers lake house in the 50's. They were real pests.

Charlie, it's a New York Camillus. Since those old Stevens are often called boy's rifles I photographed it with some of the treasures I remembered back in the day.

Charlie, When we closed ALMINCO in the US we sold off most everything for a song. One item was a floor mount hydraulic crimping machine. They run about $40,000 and I can't remember what ridiculous price we let it go for. I bet if you shop around you could find a crimper for a good price.

I remember the marble bag my mother made for me from an old piece of striped mattress material with a bootlace drawstring.
Great old memories! .

I think I still have a couple of leather marble bags, but, then, I still have everything I had when I was a young one, including the marbles. I still have a couple of tricycles, including my first one I have had since I was two. My Wham-o slingshot is still here too.
