Update on my new gun. I went back to CAL Ranch and talked with the manager (Jake) explaining the situation showing him some a copy of Impacts web page with the price they had listed. Jake said they do not match prices and he was not sure that the gun was the same that I bought. We talked a little more when Jake said "I will take care of you". He refunded the $40 plus tax and gave me a CaL ranch ball cap and a Mossy Oaks fanny pack. I will be a CAL ranch customer for life.

Impulse buys can be a bad thing. I went to the new Cal-Ranch store here in my home town. Walk up to the gun counter and saw a Henry Repeating Arms lever action 22cal calling my name. I held the gun in my hands like it was a new born baby. I had planned to come back in the morning and buy it. However my bride was standing behind me saying if you want it just buy it, so I did. I am very happy with the new gun even though I may have to buy an additional gun safe. But I did check on line with one of my favorite gun stores "Impact Arms" and found they had the same gun $40 cheaper. I would love to say lesson learned, but I have done this before and I will probably do it agian. In the words of the late great John Wayne " Life is hard and it is harder when you are stupid". I just want to go shoot it, maybe Monday morning would be good.

I take mom to the doctors tomorrow. She is pretty much confined to her wheel chair but is hanging in there. I moved mom out of the rehab facility and back to assisted living a couple of weeks ago. Mom seemed happy to be back at Applevillage.

I am headed off to Flaming Gorge next Wednesday. Plans are to stay until Saturday, so I am hoping my buddies and I have a boat load of fish.
