Met a GB member today

NOTPOSTAL and I met today, turns out we only live about 30 minutes from each other, and yes he does work for the post office. It was really nice meeting someone I had a name for, but no face, and finally putting a face to the name. I must say, that if all members are as nice and great to talk with, its a shame we dont all have the time to meet at least one new member each week. It was a real pleasure meeting a GB member, and I look forward to meeting more of you in my travels. Since it was my first meeting of a GB member, it set a great precedent, and I hope all of you get time to meet other members who share in your interests. I think its the best 45 minute conversation I've ever had with a perfect stranger. Now when will that 7mm nut show up?

I'm leaving for Little Rock tomorrow evening but I will be on a bus, the plans to take the car fell thru so I gotta Go Greyhound, this is going to be misserable, 3 transfers. One in Columbus Ohio, Pittsburg and Nashville. I also have about 5 layovers ranging from 3 hours to 45 minutes. I'm not due to hit Little Rock untill 9:00pm Sunday night.
Hopefully I get to meet Saxon, maybe some of his good nature and smarts will rub off on me.
Ryan, I really wanted to be able to stop by and meet you, I will have to try and stop while I'm in the truck sometime. I want to shoot that .454. I have a friend who is going to be going thru where you are in about another hour or so. he is just now at the "chicken coop" in Strafford and headed east. Run out to I44 and when you see a gold Freightliner pulling a white trailer that says TRL on it, give him the bird, he'll call me on the cell phone saying " I don't know what I did but some !@#!#@%% just flipped me off!"
Anyway, maybe we can hook up at Bass Pro Shops in Springfield sometime.

Hey, you live in Dallas right? I have relatives in Grand Prarie and I sometimes stop in and visit them. I usually park at the Flying J on the South side of Dallas and they come pick me up. I even sometimes stop at that Rat Hole T/A in Mesquite, maybe sometime I'm in town for awhile we can hook up.
Thanks for the wishes, I'm definatly going to need help surviving that ride, almost two entire days away from GB, I'll go nuts!
Although I'm sure some on here will be glad of that!
Ryan, I have had the pleasure of meeting several GB folks in Harrisburg & Tulsa the last few months. Good bunch of people. I think this business of planning a meet around some of the bigger gun shows is definitely a great idea. Hopefully someday, I'll meet you and dano; it would be an honor.
While I'm typing this, I hear gun shots outside somewhere. That is unusual in this town, sound pretty far away, maybe somebody shootin deer. Although at 10 till 1 they shoulnt be out bangin around with the rifles.

Icono, someday I'll get back up to "yankee land" and maybe we can bump inot each other. I used to go into Raymond Walmart alot but I havent see that place in awhile. NH, VT and ME are some beutifull states, problem is you gotta go thru Mass and CT to get there! , Well VT can be had going thru NY and cuttin thru the woods. There is somebody here that lives arounf Bangor ME, there is one heck of a eastin joint up there called Dysards, best food I have ever had the priveledge of paying for!
Stay away from large population centers where Liberals tend to congregate, stick to the smaller rural communities and you'll be fine.
Most of us Upstate New Yorkers still hate Hilliary and Chuckie. Too bad 3/4s of the population of the state lives in one very Liberal city.

There are still quite a few people out in here in cow country who are utterly disgusted she's representing our national interests.
Based on how many "HILLIARY GO HOME" bumper stickers on pickup trucks you see, you can usually tell if you've found one of the few sane refuges left in NYS

I live 25 miles northwest of Bangor. Just off I-95 exit 44 is where you'll find Dysart's truck stop. It does have one heck of a good job feeding a person without killing the wallet. Maine is a beautiful state, and we don't have to brush elbows with too many liberals, which makes it even more attractive!

It's just a small show, not worth the drive from there. I have more guns in my collection than they had there.
Almost bought some land not too far from you last year in Sangerville.
There are some big bucks in that area. You just missed the Biddeford Show, that's always a good one. Can never leave there without buying something.

Will sure do that, Like to have you come up here and visit the great state of Maine. I'm from Boston originally, 32 years ago, and wouldn't go back. This state has an awful lot to offer. I was tempted to move to either Montana or Idaho at one time, but I still like it here. I'll just keep taking my trips there.
I'll be keeping in touch with ATF and Rob in the future and see what shows they will be going to.
We don't have any good shows now until around Aug. 24, in Augusta which is a good show. Here is a list of shows from one promoter that I just received in the mail, and he does a damn good job with them.
Where is your location?
Aug 24-25
Augusta Civic Center, Augusta
Aug 31-Sept1 --- Everett Arena, Concord, NH
Sept 21-22
Rutland Fairgrounds, Rutland, VT
Sept 28-29
Champions Fitness Club, Waterville, ME
Oct 12-13
Holiday Inn Expo, Manchester, NH
Nov30-Dec1
West Lebanon, NH
All of these shows are within 3 hours from me here in Shapleigh,ME.
Most less than 2 hours.
Here is my e-mail address in case you want to get in touch.

If you don't get a chance to shoot Ryan's 454, you're welcome to shoot mine. Next time you stop at Hanscom's or Howell's truck stop, let me know when you're going to be there and I'll meet you. I'm only about 35 miles from there.
While you're there, you can stop at the Kittery Trading Post and drool over their large selection of guns, unless you have already.
