Oops! Missed coffee again!

[5thDragoons]

Probably because I didn't have any. More yard work yesterday, plus I went downstairs and monkeyed around with a model kit while wifey was watching football.

Winter is getting closer - had to scrape frost off the windshield for the first time this fall. Flop Ears got to hear coyotes singing again this morning. Sounded like quite a pack, but 2 of them can sound like 20.

I might catch some pro ball in a bit. This evening, the family musters here for Sunday fast food dinner. Always a time to cut up & be silly. I enjoy watching them have fun. SW

I must be one of the truly addicted. When there's no coffee here, every cell in my body starts letting me know it.

Stuff that works:

1/2 and 1/2 Nabob Tradition and Maxwell House Original. End up with a coffee that tastes like donut shop coffee. (found this one out by using "scrapings" out of 2 nearly empty coffee "cans")

Stuff that doesn't:

Anything Starbucks. If I'm paying that much for a take-out coffee, it should at least taste good, which none of the Starbuck coffee does.

Got skunked again on the grouse hikes. The new to us little 4 x4 car looks like an archeological find after driving those wet gravel roads. I'd like to get one more day in before heavy snow hits and stays, if at all possible.



Before I hit the gravel.

Thought for the day:

It was Jesse Ed Davis on lead guitar on Lennon's cover of Stand By Me.
You're welcome for the ear worm.

A gun shop on wheels.

I know you've sold on GB and others on the internet. I know for a fact that GB sucks but for all the trouble of traveling setting up, making appointments, eating out, motel lodging, upkeep on a roadworthy vehicle, have you considered going "whole hog" and selling everything at your local shop and the internet eliminating the shows?

As you age it may come to this on its own.

our retail location has a different demographic,
it's Fuddy, as in hunting , shotguns, clays, etc, with some new handguns and a few collectibles,

my gunshow biz is mostly Milsurps, some collectibles, and such,

and I run the parts/peices/ebay and gunbroker mostly out of my side,
brother does firearms on gunborker too, and we have been selling a xxxxton thru youtube vids

I have help at almost every show, re set up, (once in a while I will set up by myself) and with one exception, I have help both days of the shows and take down
this past show, I have firearms on about 9 tables, and we started packing at 330 or so, was on the road by 530,
we set that show up in about 3 hrs, but I was lucky to have 2 extra helpers that morning, if it is just 2 of us, set up is usually 3 to 4 hrs

there are days that my knees and hips (thanks to years walking on concrete) hurt like crazy, but generally speaking, it is not really hard work,



I start packing a couple days before I leave, i get too many interruptions to do it last minute,

typically It is a 1/2 day to sleeve and load, and about 2 hrs to unload and unsleeve after a show

Very nice.

I had no idea your operation was that big and fancy. I guess the gun shows help advertise.

not that big, and not really fancy

we work by word of mouth, and treat people right,

we started doing shows, and will do them as long as I am able
