Received the fly reel yesterday. It's in better condition than I expected and fits that old fiberglass Cortland quite nicely.
Many thanks!

    I checked my mail and was pleasantly surprised with the package that you sent me.
    They will go directly into my garden.[:D][:p][:p]
    Thanks to you brother...

    Last year I planted those ramps that you sent me, and didn't Harvest any like the internet suggested. Hopefully they will be popping up this year to where I can Harvest them.[:p][:p] Thank you again

    I finally made the first step in the pheasant hunt. Though I was looking for a 20 guage, I wound up with a 12 guage Franchi Aristocrat Silver King (1960-1969) LNIB. Next step is to send it to Briley to have the fixed chokes replaced with screw-ins, and have the forcing cones lengthened. Should end up with way more gun for the money than I expected to be able to afford. When that is done, we will talk hunting!

    I received the VHS tapes today in the mail. I've not had a chance to watch them yet, but I do want to say I appreciate you giving them to me. Reading the back covers, it looks like I'm going to get a good education from them. Thank you

    Thanks for reminding me about that fishing pole. No it has not been fixed yet.

    My wife and I moved back in May for her work and we haven't had a weekend to ourselves since back in June. Maintaining the house I'm selling, Trying to fix it up, mowing the 5 acres yard... Finally got it on the market last month and got an offer on it already. Everything goes good and I will no longer own it November 27.

    Her birthday is coming up in a few weeks and that pole would make a fine present. Thank you sir.

    Steve, Donna and I received your card today. Thank you so much for your Kind words. For someone to take the time, to reach out and send us a sympathy card, show the character of that person. I will cherish our friendship for a lifetime. Everyone on the GunBroker forums, has been very good to us over the years. Some with cards and letter, others with gifts and a few became close friends. Thank you again for taking the time, to think of us. Oakie and Donna Taggart

    Didn't want to hijack your thread. Here's one for ya.[;)][:D]



    A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink, and while he's drinking, the monkey jumps all over the place, eating everything behind the bar. Then the monkey jumps on to the pool table and swallows a billiard ball.

    The bartender screams at the guy, "Your monkey just ate the cue ball off my pool table -- whole!"

    "Sorry," replied the guy. "He eats everything in sight, the little buzzard. I'll pay for everything."

    The man finishes his drink, pays and leaves.

    Two weeks later, he's in the bar with his pet monkey, again. He orders a drink, and the monkey starts running around the bar. The monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his *, pulls it out and eats it.

    The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" he asks.

    "Yeah," replies the guy. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he swallowed that cue ball, he measures stuff first."

    I am having the forcing cones lengthened to improve patterns. The forcing cones on most shotguns are little more than a step. Making it more of a slope deforms fewer shot reducing fliers. It is a nice gun, as I said, likely better than I could ever have affored new, even with the work by Briley added in. Yep, I got a great deal, Thanks.
