Default Lifestyle, Time, Money, the Southern, and Parker shotguns

Okay, I’m jealous…

How do you all do this? It’s a lifestyle, for sure.

The comraderie, meet good folks, hang out with old friends, handle nice shotguns, perhaps buy one or a few.

And it’s not just this event, but several throughout the year.

It seems to me it’s conducive to being retired after having a well above average income throughout one’s career.

The problems I have are good luck getting any appreciable time off from work these days, when you do, the wife won’t have fun at something like the southern, not to mention the costs of getting and staying there, and, being I’m still working, I’m probably younger than many on this forum and never experienced the appreciable wage growth of some of our older members.

Which means attending several events of the year is out of the question as is purchasing a handful of fine Parkers at these events.
