I'm back!

GAHUNTERI'm back!
Not that anybody missed me, but I have been off AR for 40 days.
You see, I had to give up something that I love for Lent, and I chose AR.
I'm telling you, it has been MURDER! I would run into a problem in the reloading room and say, "I'll just go on AR and ask someone." Then I would remember that I gave it up for Lent. Or I would think of a question I have about Africa or a particular PH, or read something that I wish to impart to other folks, but when I sat down at the computor, I had nowhere to go!
I did answer PM, however. Not to do so would have been downright rude, but not even once did I log on to the forum. Now excuse me, I gotta lota ketchin' up to do.

GAHUNTERMost noticeable thing I see that happened while I was gone is the dead horse finally must have rotted away completly. I don't see anybody beating it anymore. I hope the stench is gone.

One might have been tempted to give up the religion that forced this ...........

BoghossianMate, take my advice and do sweets instead!
Much easier and also harder to define....I mean peanut butter isn't really candy!
Next year give up something like being nice to people instead.

phurley5GAHUNTER ----- You are a better man than me, I just don't think I could give up AR for 40 days. One thing for sure, I certainly don't want to, now that you have mentioned it. I am sure my wife sometimes wonders if AR is some sweet thing lurking in the shadows, then she encourages me to spend all the time I can, perhaps there is a message there.

Good shooting.

GAHUNTERPathfinder,
I hope the heck you are wrong. I'll kick myself if I find out I could have come here on Sundays and didn't out of ignorance.
This is the first time I have ever given up anything for Lent. Figure I've got a lot of makin up to do.

RustyWaiting on bullets from Huntingtons. I think I have settled on a load with H4831SC. The metal work is over at Roger Kehr's place getting a touch of his magic and then back to Tip to put together. If you haven't seen the engraving there is a thread over on Big Bore where I posted some pictures.
