Title: Where are you
Post by: 4 Ghost on January 08, 2020, 06:43:48 PM
From and how often do you stop by the aboard?
Me:  Bama and 2-3 times a week.  Everyone stop by and generate some activity.
I am pulling for the Tigers Monday night, the Bayou type!  Any of you Baws from Louisiana?

Sounds like a little piece of Texas Heaven.  My Great, Great Grandfather was killed fighting Commanche Indians in Texas back in 1869.

Yup, secret location in the TX hill country. Small ranch. Closest town six miles away with population 700. My great grandpa fought rustlers and bandits along the Rio Grande with a Winchester model 92 made in 1895. His saddle rifle, which I have and still shoot occasionally. I'm sixth generation native Texan, twelve generation American back to 1760.

I'm in rural mid lower Michigan, also about 7 miles from nearby towns. Not as rural as 30 years ago or when I was young and came out to these parts from the metro Detroit area we lived in to chase Pheasants. However there are very few Pheasants anymore. Now I load up my Setters ad go north for Grouse.

Jake, some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen were in the AZ desert.  Used to live in Yuma.

Yes sir they are something to see that's for sure. Summers are hot but wife and I get any outside work done very early in the morning.

I'm from north Louisiana and honestly could care less about college football. But I have to admit, I am happy to see LSU doing so well this year. Who knows what will happen Monday, but in the end, it's just another game. I still wish them the best.

I try to visit the forum at least a couple times a week. Due to the holidays, I haven't stopped by once, but now I'm starting to get back into the swing of things so hopefully I can spend a bit more time here.

I live in Sandown, NH (southern NH), and am new to the forum.  Had my first R51 delivered yesterday.  Except for the trigger, I'm highly impressed, and don't find disassembly/re-assembly difficult.  The Gen 1 issues notwithstanding, I'm convinced the R51 will be a collectable classic.

Interior of Alaska.  Born in Texas but moved my family up here when I was 9 months along.  Best decision i ever made.  Still have family in the lone star state but my home is the Last Frontier.

Martha's Vineyard Massachusetts. And I'm living proof that not everyone here is a rich liberal!
I winter in Florida which is where I got my R51.
You can't buy one here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. The State dictates what firearms we can buy.

I'm in Dallas Ga. That's about 30 miles NW of Atlanta. When I moved here 24 yrs ago you had to watch for herds of deer crossing the road. Now it's herds of people. Plan on retiring in a few years then moving  further out again.  Bought mine when Remington had their rebate going. I think it's a sexy beast. Haven't had any problems with it yet. I get on here every couple of days.

I'm in Central Texas at a lake 8 miles north of a town, population 20,000 +/-. Been here since 1999. Retired in 2013. I check the forum about once per week.

I'm in El Paso, not a native Texan but I am learning. Came to Texas via Scotland and then Baltimore. My sons were in the army at Ft Bliss and talked me into moving to Texas, never going anywhere else, Texas is like heaven. I support the Cowboys and whoever is playing the Indianapolis Colts, though the Baltimore Ravens are close to my heart.

I live outside of Columbus Ohio, somewhat rural area but yet close enough to to be at any store of choice within 25 mins,  have the luxury of belonging to a sportsman club group that provides firing ranges, trap ranges, fishing streams and hunting land. So I've been able to enjoy my R51, definitely a pistol I like to shoot.

Somewhere in America's Dairyland; not far North of where the best Kringle this side of the Atlantic is made!
(Clue, the kringle from there is sooooo good ... - they actually export it BACK to Denmark!)

Texas,
So I had to look up what a kringle is.
