Aromatherapy

[Brush Buster]

A few years back I sent a Beautiful little Parker up to Miller Trigger to have some single trigger work done and when I got the gun back " Fully Repaired Of Course " and put her to my cheek the Wonderful Aroma of G 96 gun oil hit my senses and all of a sudden ,I was 12 Years Old again and sneaking up through our Old Orchard behind the Barn after the Illusive Cottontail with our Old Beagle Cleo !!!!!!!!!!! Just Wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I got were some strange looks. Go figure.

Sounds like that bothersome display that was in the front of the Martha Jefferson hospital before they moved to the new location in C'ville !

For me a cool fall day and the smell of the fresh cut wood I am felling for the winter fires,and last but not least the aroma of split heart pine for kindling, Gary

Ahhh... The drive home after a trapshoot with the spent Federal papers on the floor of your truck...

I found an old bottle of Hoppes #9 about 1/2 full in my shop that is just for aromatherapy. So, I'm with Destry about Hoppes#9 and a few paper shells.

I use this in my truck.

I just did a search and Amazon had it at one time and may again? Google for it, I'm sure its around somewhere.

I must admit that they don't last as long as I would like.

Is today's #9 the same stuff we grew up with? Someone told me that they had to change the composition.

You'll think me strange, but one of the aromas that I have always loved - in moderation of course - is the faint smell of skunk

Dean - I can relate, skunk smell does come in varying degrees of intensity. What you mention reminds me of the soft skunk smell when you first open a pony bottle of Rolling Rock beer. Rather sweet.
Sad to say I've experience the higher end of skunk spray intensity that was like a burning electrical fire that started to blacken my vision to where I almost passed out.

I had heard the same thing; that the composition of Hoppes # 9 today is different than that of our younger days.

Destry got it right #9 and Federal Paper as the smells of my youth. I gave away 9 bottles of #9 when we moved down south. Wish I had kept one. I'd also add the smell of a cinder floored one car garage with a Model T truck inside.
