Okay, so much for the guns, let's see pictures of the new pup!!!!!!!

AMEN!

The gents that i regularly shoot with all shoot sxs's but none have a Parker which in my view is an unmitigated error in good judgement. To help them get this illness called collecting Parkers, i have bequeathed each of them a Parker in my will. My grandson,Logan is covered as are my two Newell cousins. That's the best cure I could think of.

Agreed. Thank God we're not neighbors Craig. My luck you would appreciate fine cigars and bourbon. Could be bad. On a serious note I am in total agreement with you. I'm into target guns and long barrels. They say the 12's are a sinking market. Maybe so but a 34" in about any grade makes me happy and I really don't care about the proverbial market trend. Still perfecting the old adage of buying high and selling low. Oh well, my kids can work that out.

The kids will never know what you paid for the guns, only what they received if they sell them. They'll be happy

I made it home with one less gun (my favorite) G.E. Lewis hammer-gun. I hope to sell my GH 16 too so I can buy a GH 20 I found at the southern (clock's ticking). All in all, i'll be in the hole, but what a sweet hole it is... Sorry for that.
Rich, it was great meeting you, Eric, and Mike. I have to qualify you all together, because you seemed inseparable during the southern. What a terrible support group. I can see you guys really getting each other into the best kind of trouble!
I hope the pup is happy and healthy. I'm glad it found a home with you and that you guys all made it home safe. Look forward to seeing ya'll again in the future.

I saw a lovely GE Lewis 16ga hammer gun that gave me serious palpitations:rotf: but I already have several in 16 and shot one (a grade 1 with 32 inch tubes) that hasn't been out in the daylight for far to long. Now if it had been a 20ga I would have been is serious financial crisis.

It was nice meeting you and hopefully the GH 20 will come your way soon.
