If you have a gun you want to show off, or sell, bring it.


If we go shoot, I'll bring my PSA Micro Dagger a long.

I'd like to get an idea of a head count, so post below: "I'll be there."

I’ll be there. Probably not +1, my wife is a wonderful woman, but not one of us.

I guess she could go simply for her mutual appreciation of Hooters culinary commodities?

Told my wife about the meet, she was like “y’all couldn’t have chosen a different, locally owned place instead of a place with shitty food and waitresses in short shorts?”

I’ll see you guys on the 9th, and enjoy some short shorts with y’all.

So I fully plan on being there.
But why'd we choose a day that coincides with the gun show at the fairgrounds?!?

Wake up early go to the gun show. Then after you've had your fill of overpriced guns and beef jerky stop by hooters and say hello.

I might head in early and hit the gun show.

I get my hair cut at Gib and Todd's barbershop in Ava.
101 N Jefferson St, Ava, MO 65608

They give you a $10 1 size fits all haircut and use a flowbie. Walk in only no appointment needed. They don't answer their phone...
Those old timers are not politically correct and usually have a shotgun or AR15 in a glass case next to them.

$10 1 size fits all, I don't know.  I wouldn't want to mess up my boyish good looks.

You guys still have hair to cut?



I'll be there, wife is staying home "have fun with the boys" was her comment.

See my pic above, that's the standard barbershop electric razor haircut given by the bigger of the 2 barbers. He'll barely leave you enough to part on top. You can tell him #4 on the sides and your hair will still look like mine does - short!

The smaller guy might cut your hair a little longer. I have seen a few make it out of there with long hair.

Get a hair cut ya long haired hippie! I've get one style of cut, High & very tight. Then I don't go back for a year or two.

No muss, no fuss. Plus it's a good excuse to get a new hat, since the old one will be to big.

I usually go to "expo cut" on Campbell by the Walmart. $10 gets you a hair-wash too, since I can't stand the little hairs that cause me to itch.

I spent quite a bit at Hudson hawk for many years, when they were the only ones who could give me a high and tight that met my standards.

Unfortunately, I’ve lost enough hair somewhere that I just go quarterly to Rustic Sky on Stewart.

I go to Lawsons at Division & Glennstone, always been happy with them.

Walked into the fancy pants place on Grant & I think College once. Turned around and left when they said it'd be $50.  Which is puckin futs.

My hair is one of the few places I took after dad. He's 72 & still has all his hair & just as dark as ever, just a touch of gray at the edges. Salt & pepper beard. My bread started going white last year.

Table for 12 is reserved under the name ARFCOM. They are the tall standing tables.

I'll be wearing the same shirt as above with a dark gray hat with a gray and black American flag on the front of it.

What’s wrong with your wife’s taste buds? Hell my wife likes the food there and the girls running around in short shorts.

Nice meeting y'all. Thanks for coming out. We will have to shoot together in April, towards the end of the month. I'm also free during the week.
We'll pick a different restaurant next time.  

@zapthycat - did you go back to the show and snag the 50?


Here's the facebook page for "my" off road club which is called the Mark Twain Mafia. This is what I'm normally doing Saturday. We have weekly trail rides in and around Glade Top.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/847177332803989/
Create a bogus user name, answer the membership questions, and feel free to join me. I lead / participate in trail rides out there weekly. All street legal 4wd vehicles are welcome in my club.

I can fit 3 passengers in my 2 door Jeep, if you don't want to drive your vehicle.

Last Saturday's trail ride was a little bigger than normal with 19 vehicles:

Normally we have less vehicles show up or we will break up into 2 groups.

I was tempted, but I didn't even go back to the show. I'll (try to) go back today. There were some reloaders there for what I think is a cheap price, and I'd like to get into reloading.
