    Default Alfonse link up.

    Well after probably 5 years of attempts, usually on his side of the mountains Alfonse and I, wife says that's better than me and Alfonse???? finally manged to link up.

    Fine fella, genuine nice guy. Never could have picked him out of a line up guessing appearance. You know how you kind of visualize a person to look. I hadn't really given much thought in the matter but what little I did missed the mark. Handsome devil for sure.

    We took in the local gunshow, nice warm spring day. New table holder with a mountain of wicked cool knives, lots of damascus and a bit of stag (always make a Tee Pee in my britches). I didn't have enough loot for even one and they were very reasonable I thought. Both agreed that was probably the best table of the lot today.

    We were both stymied by what turned out to be a Remington Model 8 in 32. Couldn't figure out what the heck it was. So before we left we had to hit the guy up and get a lesson. Know that guy pretty well, also a swell fella.
    I of course liked it cause it was a bit different looking and old but nice shape. I think Al kind of thinks the same, we both sort of locked onto that one.
    Neither of us or even combined had enough to bring it home 650 bucks.

    Some nice wood at a regular table holders table. He usually has some nice walnut. I might have to go back tomorrow and get that. 10 bucks and I can probably get 4 sets of grips out of it hopefully.

    It was nice to finally link up with Al. Hope to meet up again over in his territory. Very nice area.

    In hindsight after the show I should have drug him up on the hill for a man cave visit but I guess we need to save something for next time.

    PS- meant to take a seflie with him to post as evidence, you know pictures or it didn't happen. But I plumb forgot and not sure I know how anyway. Never done it before. Can't be that tough right?

    I will vouch for the story. Never want to disagree with a partner in crime. Bawanna is a celebrity at that show. Nice to be there with a local rock star

    The hard part was finding a safe space that wouldn't offend either of us.

    I've yet to meet anyone I've "met" over the innernet. I've tried a few times, giving a description of what I look like, what I'll be wearing, and the time and place. Seems I just get stood up???

    Wait, maybe that's trying to date over the innernet...I think.

    Who knows??

    Glad you two had a nice play date, though!

    I don't know how we managed to find each other so quickly. Lots of people around. How Al recognized me is a mystery.

    I mean I told him I was a derelict in a wheelchair wearing a CZ hat but I didn't tell him what color or anything.

    It was kind of a Dr. Livingston I presume moment for sure.

    The dude in a wheelchair with a CZ hat disguise! I'd never have found you Bawanna! Great to hear stuff like you two linking up. Hope you can do it again!
