You betcha Lynn. I am in. Prayers for your wife's speedy recovery, prayers of gratitude for the medical staff and support folks, and family and friends involved. God bless you all.

Yep, Dave is a keeper.

Right on partner.

Gets kinda crowded sitting on the BIG RED COUCH with your team mates and watching the World Series play out. Chips are stale and the beer is warm too.

Thanks Abilene. God bless all those that served in that bitter conflict in S. E. Asia, and all of the conflicts where our fellow Americans shed their blood.

What are my Cardinals doing? Fired the manager? HUH. Reckon being a Baseball Manager is nor a right secure occupation.

Allie, I just saw your post. Sending out my prayers and thoughts right now, adding you to my prayer chain.

This recalls my misspent yout, when we would attach a playing card to the fork of our bicycle, so that it would reach the spokes and sound like a motor.

More like his pumpkin has ripened.

That won't float, Joe!

First of all let me express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who responded. I still do not have a full update, but apparently the two older girls are responding quite well and there is not a great deal of fear about their full recovery, the 1 year old is apparently ok and the 5 year old boy came down with it, but apparently not as sever as Mom and Dad. Anyway, I thank my Maker and The Prayer Posse for your attention to my call. God bless you all.

Well, Jack O'Conner also thought so!

I believe you are correct.

Watching an hunting show on the Sportsman channel. Husband and wife hunting on location in Colorado, with family. The husband had taken a mulie with a bow, and she almost taken a mulie with a rifle. But I digress. The fly in the ointment was the fact that Browning company has come out with a rifle chambered in 6.8 mm. I did not know that I believe they call it the 6.8 Western. My first thought was, WHY. The gun gurus have been hitting the 6.0mm & 6.5mm platforms pretty heavy lately. According to the hype, it will carry a heaver bullet weight ; without giving anything away to the other 6mm & 6.5mm bullet trajectory. Advertised numbers for ballistics approach the the .308 diameter 30-06's 150 gr bullets, vs. Browning's 6.8mm 140 gr bullets. In all honesty, I can see where a new shooter might like the smaller boring.
