Thanks for all the welcome back messages, its good to be back. I havent been spending much time on the web lately, although I did discover facebook last week. Anyway, its never as polite on the web as it is here.

Unfortunately not. I had to sell a gun last year to afford to buy christmas presents, but I think this year will be a lot better. I did manage to save up for a dog and I just found out my breeders dog is pregnant, so for the immediate future, much of my spare cash will hopefully be going towards a puppy. I would like to get a 12 ga pump and an ar-15 or ar-10 in the next year, but we shall see. My truck payment is finally up this month wooohooo!!!

Sounds like this will be a better year! You could always sell one of your 12/8s, there are a lot of those floating around . . .

No way! lol Those are artwork...guns are just tools, not much craftsmanship anymore. Now, if I could sell one of my wife's cats and make a buck...that would be an option hehe.

Oh dude your going to need a two floor doghouse if that posts stays up too long.

I have experimented between 1 and 2 handed shaving, but, for me, personally, I like to shave 1 handed. Mainly, because I have a beard, and it is easier to shave around the areas I need to. Secondly, I have a full body tremor, and I find that if I use my right hand over the left, I can easily hold my arm against my body to keep the tremor under control while shaving. It takes practice, but in time, it comes together. I do the same during photography while trying to keep a still hand. Tremors make straight razor shaving difficult, but not impossible.

lol...No doggie, we do not eat the kitties...well ok, maybe just that one. I dont mind the cats that much actually, but I could do with a few less. They are entertaining, sort of like a bunch of drunken monkeys.

That is inspiring, I appreciate the input. I commend you on your bravery, Id be to scared to take on this hobby in your position. Best of luck and thanks for the tips.

Hi Josh,

Tis good to see you back on here. Anyway, one handed will probably be easy for you to pick up. You definitely wanna make sure you have a good field of vision though for the reach across strokes. When you're not used to it, it can be harder to see some spots and all it might take is to just turn your head a little to one side or the other.

Have fun,

Lynn
