Well I finally recovered

From one of the worst gun shows I have ever attended. Saturday was soooo nice people just didn't come and play..Sunday was raining but it was daddy's day..still better than Saturday though. Sold lots of little stuff..only sold a couple of guns.. Somebody really wanted an ol Parker I had ..I really didn't need it so I'm glad it's gone.

Acquisitions though were numerous and varied. My best buy was a really nice Ohaus Dial-O-Grain scale..the holy grail of scales in my opinion..unless you consider the one that came in a wooden carrying case the Holy grail. This thing is perfect and I got it for the grand sum of 20 bucks. It is easily worth 200 or more. Got a load of commercial cast lead bullets in 45 Colt(255 gr) and 45 auto(200 gr H&G SWC) for 20 bucks a box(500) from the same person. Went back to get a few more and they were gone. I've always wanted a Ruger Bearcat for some odd reason and never had one. I got one at this show for 225 bucks. Kind of steep considering they only sold for 70-75 bucks. I did get a really nice little Bianchi holster with it though. At the last show I got a Ruger Single Six with xtra cyl that I gave to a friend for a good deed he did for me..Well I got another nicer one this time just a little cheaper with holster and a box of each type ..22 LR and 22 WMR. Not such a great buy was a Marlin 444 in as new condition with peep sight, dies, new brass, bullets, scope mounts, sling and case. Paid a bit much at 475 but I have 6 boxes of ammo that I can use in it...and on another note out of character for me..I bought a new casting rod fer fishing..paid 15 dollars and looked her up when i got home.... good gosh amighty..them fishin rods have turned really spensive...at least the good 'uns. This was a good'un too. I have a near new Penn International 965 reel to put on it.

Sold a couple of Star presses which is good and a P-W 375 press. Helped to pay for the things I bought. Always a good thing..otherwise I'd go broke in a hurry. And as a side note..I brung that little Bearcat in the house. Showed it to momma....Now I have to go find ME one..she absconded with my Bearcat
