    I bought an identical set...from the same dealer...two years ago for $185. I am watching sellers raise the prices on ivory even though it appears they aren't selling at the previous prices. What happened with Obama's ban on ivory? Was it adopted? Still in process? Quietly dropped? Sellers sure act like the products are skyrocketing in scarcity and value.

    That Remington 581 is pushing $500. I paid $49.95 for mine brand new. This is one that makes me scratch my head. I was thinking it was worth about $150. Boy was I a dolt! Never imagined so much interest in a budget model 22 bolt rifle. Good thing I don't want one badly. Collectors are a funny breed.

    Oh well, to each his own. I'm sure some folks think I'm nuts for buying the things I do.

    I's a quarter after 9 in the morning.

    I've been up for a couple hours.

    Had breakfast and read the Sunday paper.

    Watched a little TV.

    Now sitting at the computer.

    Every movement I make...turning my head...raising my arm...results in a series of snaps, crackles and pops that would rival a big bowl of Rice Krispies.

    God I love being old...

    Wife's oldest and closest friend, known each other since they were five years old and I've known her for 32 years, diagnosed with cancer yesterday. Don't know specifics on what type. I heard she's going back for follow up next week. I hope medical science can help her.

    One of the many awful things about getting old is watching your friends deteriorate.

    When did guns get so expensive?

    I haven't perused the auctions for a while and I have been shocked at the prices I am seeing the past couple days.

    I mean, $625 for a garden variety Model 10?

    $750 for 1960s era 38 Colt Trooper?

    And neither was in new condition.

    Good thing there really isn't anything I need or want all that badly at this point.

    Happens all the time...problem is, I don't have the luxury of jumping straight to the posts I want to view. I need to check in on most of them as I go down through the page. Oh well...like I said...just "'nother day on GB".

    Was it the Shower thread? Clicked on that one and it disappeared before I could read it.
