What do I have?

[DeAn Durham]

Why thank you! I just may have to do that. Keep me posted when it gets closer to that time so that I don't forget. If it's not happening in the next hour or even minute, I usually forget.

I like your computer-kick boxing comment. Reminded me of this pic I took after my computer told me, "You want to run format C? No. We don't do that any more".... I proved it wrong....

And Dee: I used to have an American Arms dbl gun just like your last picture above.

Richard where did you get that rubber deal on your handle I'm always chewing up axe and sledge hammer handles. ch

[Richard Flanders]

The local true value hardware store carries them. They sure save a lot of handles. You can also just use a properly sized piece of heavy rubber hose.

I eliminated the problem on my splitting maul by welding a 2" ID X 32" length of pipe in place of a wooden handle.

my dad took my brother and i out to the job site left us with uor dinner and a jug of water...our jobs were cutting up old car bodys with a axe...my brother was a real life character....he took that axe and said watch this he broke that axe handle clean out on the first lick...we sure did have a fine day of just goofing around for that was the only axe we hadfor work... at about 5.00 that evening our dad came to pick us up he asked us how our day went we told him fine exceptwe had broke the axe handle but we did not tell him till years later that johney had broke it out on purpose... our dad never said much on the way home ..the next morning he carried us back to the same job site.. out he came with the same axe we had broke the handle out of the evening before except it was wearing a brand new steel handle in it...my dad said boys if you break this handle i will put another one in just like it...he left and we went to work we tried breaking that handle out but never did..... charlie

I just wanted to say hello to everyone here and let ya'll know that I still have my old Parker and we are still kicking here in Texas. Miss you guys!!!!

[Richard Flanders]

Good to see you're still out there. I hope you follow our forum sometimes and that you have been able to attend a shoot somewhere.... and that you don't live on the riverside in San Antonio right now!

[DeAn Durham]

I'm a safe distance from San Antonio LOL... I live near DFW airport. I do still read the forums ever so often. I was just on today reminiscing on this thread and re-reading all of the wonderful comments, sentiments, and advice from everyone. It helps to renew my faith in people. I would still like to attend a shoot somewhere but haven't had the opportunity to as of yet and would like to take my old worn out Parker to one of the Parker meets so it can be seen

[Richard Flanders]

If you're ever in need of a group of folks who will treat you like long lost family - and who of us doesn't need that occasionally?? - just go to a shoot with a bunch of Parker folks. It will change your life.
