With GunCon on Fathers Day weekend, we decided to move the date to the 13th.  

More details to follow.
During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were "just going down to the corner."

Looking forward to it as always!

Hopefully I can find something interesting to bring this year.

Bump.  This is one of the summer events I always look forward to.  If you've never been, and want to meet some great people (I don't include myself in that group), I highly recommend.

Have a birthday party for my youngest scheduled that day. I have a few guns I picked up that I was hoping to finally shoot

June is always a tough month for availability with birthdays and vacations.

You should still feel bad. I went once a couple years ago and it was great. I wish I was going this year but my youngest is having her big b'day party.

Everyone's doing great! The kiddos are growing BIG and although we're in that stage where there is almost no free time it's a happy time for us too!

I hope you're having a blast with your retirement!  Congratulations!

I probably wont make it tomorrow.  Have family stuff going on. May try late afternoon if I can at all.

Plan was to bring the 44 mag with temu rmr clone for a workout.

Weather is close to perfect for tomorrow. If you're bringing a canopy, please bring the appropriate tiedowns in case the wind picks up.  My wife has an obligation that will have her away until 3ish.  Plan on grilling your own lunch. Trust me, you don't want me doing it.

We will have limited cooler space this year. I found our big cooler has an issue and we can't use it tomorrow.  I left it out at our conservation club, in the garage. Another member changed the oil in the clubs tractor and set the 5 gallon pail of used diesel motor oil next to the cooler. He neglected to check for the hole in the bucket.  I went out this afternoon to find the garage floor and the bottom of the cooler covered in oil and after cleaning the floor, I don't have time to make an additional trip out with the truck to pick it up since I won't put it in the car. I'm slightly irritated.

As usual, this is a kid friendly event.  While my neighbor might be a little harsh with her kids, I ask this group to keep language check.  

If there are any last minute questions, let me know.  See you tomorrow.

I like this way way too much. First design of a slam fire pipe shotgun that I actually want to shoot.

#BestHostEver !

Sorry to all those I didn't get to chat with much.  Probably should apologize to those I talked to too much too!

First year in many they destructive testers didn't break anything.  I think that may shed some light in who was the the culprit.  

Hope to see you next weekend at GunCon.

Sorry to have missed it but it looks like another good Grub N Gun is in the books. I was stuck working in Milwaukee over the weekend weekend.
