    Wait a minute, wait a minute !!!  Vic's Viewpoint would sooner set himself on fire than inflict that stuff on this august assemblage of (heavily armed) conniseurs (sp?).  Not guilty!  I am guilty, however, of hugely enjoying each of the six SE Shoots that I attended over the years, and had already earmarked my $1,400 Gov't bribe for this Spring's shoot when I learned of its demise.  As was said by others here, I fully understand the reasoning and the realities behind the cancellation, but I also feel it's the end of an era and its absence will leave an empty spot in my life.  I turned 79 a short while ago, and fully understand and empathize with the strains involved;  indeed, I wish I could think of a way to repay Teach and Miss Mary for the wonderful times that they showed to my wife and myself.  Truly, I do.  I'll also miss the opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones among the newer members on the forum.  Better people I've not met in my lifetime, without exaggeration of any kind.

    Too bad we can't do something similar elsewhere...

    Well darn thought for sure you brought  it.  But damn it was bad

    Everyone has been so very kind about this, and it was not done lightly, I assure you.  We looked forward to each shoot and I do so wish we could have continued but know that each and everyone one of you are much loved and I will miss all the hugs.  Thank you for being so understanding.  :'(<3

    Hey, after the first few  jars of tannerite go off, bet that neighbor with his loud music might re-think his choices :D:D 
    Fortunately, said neighbor moved out over a year ago! I was "this close" to buying an old skool air raid siren.

    This is sad.  Think I made it to 3.  I still say teach should be reinstated.  I know I don't come around as much as I used to, soured by his banning.  IMO, he did a ton more good around here than harm.

    Unless, of course, you were a new member and had to go through his initiation process. End of discussion.

    Cause so many new folks come here.  Most seem to ask 1 question and are never heard from again

    It would have been a great weekend for the shoot, coolest memorial day weekend ever.  66 today, cloudy. 70 tomorrow and 80 Monday.  40s and 50s for lows would have made for good campfire temps.

    Yep, we'd all be up at the firing line right now!
