What are you waiting for? Time waits for nobody. Time is like a big river - you can't stop it. You can watch it go by... or you can jump on it and go for a ride.

It seems to me that most of the exciting "shoots" happen on the east coast. Here, way out west, where you drive for an hour to buy a jar of mustard, they are more infrequent.

I'm off to an estate sale in the morning to try and get this fantastic Black Forest style deer antler picture frame. Looks like a heck of a piece in the photo, we'll see what kind of price they've got on it. Of course, if it's as cool as it looks then I will keep it. Just what I need, another piece of STUFF to hang on the wall.....
Destry P.S. At a sale last week I bought four milk crates full, one whole crate was to keep. Yes I know, I have a problem.

"Hello, My name is Destry, and I have a problem" Is there a Stuff Anonymous? I suspect many of us could be charter members. You don't know "stuff" until you become a fly tyer. Our stuff includes road kill

Reloading and fly tying are two bad habits I've managed to NOT pick up over the years. I have plenty already, those are two that seem to accumulate even more "stuff" than I can handle.

The accumulation of "stuff" is an evolutionary process as we go from one thing to the next. The only sustainable thing is the accumulation of the new stuff.
Reloading for both shotguns and centerfire rifles definately adds to the stuff. I just bought 10,000 Win 209 primers because they were a good deal. Thank God I never tried fly tying. |

My significant other has a problem with stuff. She has no stuff. After she has it for a little while it goes into a bag and she brings it to the poverty store for them to sell. She has trouble understanding why I have 12 reloading machines, devices and accessories for same. Why I need more than 5000 hulls is more of a mystery to her.
The worst was some months ago when she was at my place and my daughter showed up. During the conversations the daughter mentioned she was going to buy me a bottle of Single Malt. "Oh, no. Please don't buy him another bottle! Look at all he has stored in the liquor locker." With that she opened the cabinet door and exposed the SMS to light. She went on to complain about all the stuff I had around the place, including the two bird dogs in the kennels. The 900 books were not mentioned because she has 200 books at her place and about 100 pairs of shoes. She's still wondering why she doesn't get invited out here anymore.
