A friend runs the KC Bingo Hall here in town. Also the Medical Equipment shed. They loan out stuff to people who cannot afford any. I told him I had to drive over to Boise to get a rifle case at Cabela's this afternoon and did he want to go?

We got the hard case, and a set of 30-06 dies, ate at Popeye's and he asked if I would help him pickup an exercise bike at this elderly gentleman's house they had loaned him. Yes...

We drive over, get the bike in the back of my FJ and are talking stuff. I mentioned our trip to Cabela's when he saw the dies in the back. He says, do you shoot a 30-06? I said yes, and he asked me if I wanted some brass. Yes...

He gave me 280 rounds of once-fired brass, about half LC and the rest commercial in boxes and a box of Nosler 165gr SP bullets.

So, we invited him to go shooting with us this spring, Rockchucks maybe.

Things/people are not bad here in New Mexico. But I remember just those kind of things Rich mentioned above were just the norm growing up in rural Kansas, 1940's to 1970's. Everyone helping one another and never asking anything in return. How different things are today in a lot of places, huh?

I bet your glad you didn't buy that new overpriced brass at Cabela's an hour earlier!
