My old friend Dale, aka "Bones", went home to our Lord recently. He was not a member here, but he was a Levergunner if there ever was one. He loved the old Winchesters, single action revolvers, and Mauser rifles. He taught me a lot about gunsmithing, reloading, and just general gun tinkering.
The last time I was with him he helped me swap out a barrel on a 375 Winchester trapper project I'm working on. He was scheduled to go in for a heart procedure the next week, and sadly he never made it out of the hospital.
Kind of a lost feeling, and I already miss our gun talks, but I know we'll meet up again down the road.
Another Levergunner gone home.

Ted, I am sorry as well. I have been thinking of friends and family who have gone on ahead lately. Sometimes it feels like life is just one sadness after another.
