Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

Reading the “Guns that speak” thread got me to thinking about another part of my experiences with these old doubles......I have the tendency to name my guns after I have spent some time hunting with them. I know others do the same?
A few of mine……
- My go to upland 20 bore I call "Connie" short for confidence gun -aka.. the one I grab when I may only get one opportunity
- "The submersible" a 16 bore rainy day trojan that I have managed to drop completely under water twice in the marsh. (Just wiped her down and oiled her up and she was good to go both times)
- "The Beast" my 6 frame 10 bore – Not my most creative name
- this year I anointed my 20 bore 32” GHE “The rifle” after a return to a hunt spot where I had shot long and well the previous hunt- my hunting partner asking “did you bring the rifle back today?”
Anyway, those are a few of my gun names.
Odd – I own a couple boats….never named them….I suppose they are just not as personal to me.
