Our friend Ray Atkinson is feeling under the weather today. I just spoke to him and even though long in the tooth (read old man of Africa) He is no 100 pounder. Hope he gets to feeling better soon.

Ray....just spent the last 6 days prone with some sort of "South American flu strain"...according to old sawbones. Whatever, sustained 103 temp for a couple of days doesn't feel good. Hope your's isn't anywhere near as bad....get better soon.

If you die Ray, can I have all your unfired 404 Jeffery brass?
Don't worry, I won't let RIP bring a stainless and plastic rifle for the big bore 21 gun salute at the funeral.

Ray,
Hope You feel better. In the meantime what gun to do you plan on taking to shoot the devil in the arse ? Will it have a folding rear sight ? Will it be a push feed ? A 45-70 ??? A REMINGTON ? Big Grin And most importantly can I have the number for your "nurse" after you go to meet the great Dagga Boy in the sky ?

Ray,

If it makes you feel any better, I also have a late winter cold. They seem to be the worst of their kind. And I'm getting tired of it, but hope you beat me to feeling better.

10.75X68? Didn't you just buy that damn thing? Are you buying high and selling low again? Howcome I don't get bargains like that! I guess that Jose Cuervo Gold must've massaged the pain some. Cool Cool wave beer

Ray,

I was really feeling bad about your "condition" as I was scrolling through the earlier posts. Now that I've seen you respond to your fans in your "old-self" style, I feel better.

Good health to you and continue the sage advice on African hunting.

Glad you're feeling better, Mr. Atkinson.

A bit of a long time joke between my wife and I is if we should ever get lucky enough to win the lottery I would take half, call Ray Atkinson & Sons, tell you to book on my behalf a trip to Africa and that I want one of everything!

I know, it's a hell of a long shot, but a man can dream, can't he?
