This story deserves the cover of Parker Pages. Patience and Perseverance Pays. :)

Billhow did the hospital stay go? I hope every thing is OK. The Parker god is watching over for sure! congratulation gary

Gary, another six or eight weeks gun room recovery for the new right hip. May be able to look at guns at Rick's, not much before.

What happened to your hip? Didja break it? I never saw you limping... and I know from limping, trust me!

Should I get in line for your guns??

Anyway, keep us posted. I expect pictures... USPS is okay - I know you don't post pictures.

Nope, no broken hip, a replacement, just an aged and abused body on a journey to complete destruction, part by part, day by day. In reference to your second question, I guess I should ask The Lovely Linda to start preparing a Rolodex of current email addresses because my junk is not going to be sold with an 18 1/2% buyer's premium. At my estate sale, a cased .410 Skeet marked at $7500.00 will sell for $7500.00, no tax, no buyer's premium. Y'all come.

You can't pull that Gene Hill stuff on this crowd... We know that the Lovely Linda knows the true value of your "junk" :cool:

Bill please pass this on to the Lovely Linda, rlanderson410@msn.com just in case...you know:)

Linda is not taking this Anderson guy very seriously. The last Parker she sold him was 95% brown and had a 13" stock broken off at the wrist. She has paid more for a washer and dryer. Her profound statement was, "Do we really need rednecks at your estate sale?". I reminded her that she always liked Rich. She threw up her hands and said, "OK, it's your ?@"&:?@ estate sale. Invite who you want.". Rich, don't worry. You're in.

Bill, As usual the "Lovely Linda" is right. I easy to not take Rich seriously...:) This might be a good time to put in for my invitation...:rolleyes:

On a serious note...I wish you a complete and speedy recovery.

New hip, eh? Good on you. Looking for work?? I hear the Jets are in need of a place kicker...
