I resemble that remark, Bobby!  I'm one of those nuts, I guess.  I have a safe-full of milspec 7.62X51mm (.308) rifles that my daddy helped me pick up over the years.  He was a "small arms design specialist" in the Corps, though, strangely enough, he never had a duty station at Quantico long enough for us to move there--except for TDY.  Then again, maybe he did and Momma just didn't want to move us to Va.

Are you guys like me, in that you have half-dozen hobbies where you get fired up over one for about six months.  The passion wanes, so you move onto something else for a while, so on and so forth.  Eventually you're back where you started.

BTW, I have been SO remiss about writing to the list.  I have a BIG presentation due Wednesday morning, but after that I'm going to tackle each list subject for the last three months--one-by-one.  Get ready for some long, windy, opinionated and (probably) boring emails.

Take care, y'all
