Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 39.3, overcast and drying out.

I don't think we will be going to the Boat Show Rich. I mentioned it and got kind of a dirty look from the Warden. When I mentioned the 46 footer that KPTV did a walk through on, I got an even dirtier look!
I don't suppose anyone has a cool million laying around that I could have?

HAHA - Just tell the Warden you have errands to run...ALONE.

My 13th year "working" the show. Every year I think this will be my last but then I keep coming back. I can score you some free passes if that helps.

Sure Rich. That did the trick. I just mentioned it to the Warden and I got that big sigh with "I don't care....". I think her biggest problem is Portland. She doesn't like it if I even mention it and she is still reeling from the last Sportsman's Show we went to at the Expo Center. I'll just slip the horse tranq in her morning coffee.

My wife doesn’t like them because our bank account gets smaller whenever I go.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Had to make a trip to town and get more 'bullets' for the pneumatic stapler.

I catch that quite often. However, a quick glance at the statistics would indicate that SHE spends much more than I ever thought of - whether it be at one of these shows, Sportsman's Warehouse or Cabela's.

Don't know about the murder, but she certainly does not need any reinforcement to ideas she has espoused for years.

See response to Evan. Most of these shows don't have windows. They put stuff right out in the aisles where you can't help but get touchy feely with it.

I have to carry my wallet with me. They get pretty nasty if I don't have my credentials for the concealed weapon.

Good evening Oregon and visiting Ford Fans.
I would like to go to the Sportsmen Show this year but will have to see how things work out.
Currently thinking of selling my wood drift boat and 8 horse engine.

Jackie was just giving me a hard time for going to Sportsman’s Warehouse today to EXCHANGE a box of ammo. Because it meant that I had bought ammo “recently”. Luckily she doesn’t know it was a $40 box of premium rifle ammo and not some cheap pistol ammo.
