Beef is UP ! I predict an uptick in rustling. The owners at Westline Inn sat with us on our last visit and were lamenting the big jumps in beef and they had cut back some on cuts offered.

Axehandle,
Oh, man, I'm a sucker for anything that reads 32-20. I really like all the old shooters that look like they belong in a 1938 Robert Johnson Delta blues song; 32-20 Blues
" She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light I got a 32-20, got to make the caps alright "

My 32-20 affliction started with a 10 inch TC Contender barrel.. You remember the .308 bore 32-20 barrels made for the NRA Hunter's Pistol silhouette shooters. RCBS die set came with two expander balls so we could load 30s for our TCs and 32s for our revolvers. The 32 revolver thing came latter in life for me. Could be a sign of getting old. The old Colt PPs and S&W HEs just light my fire!

Here is the blue 32-20. As I said earlier I'd add it to my set if the price was a little better....

Hey Axehandle, is there a source for those Colt grips ? An old P.P. 38Spec here and one side is crumbling.

Axehandle,
I have to watch myself around 32-20's when the talk of price comes up. Like I said, I'm a "sucker" for that caliber; meaning I can't pass one by. They all look worth it to me.
I've tried to swear off buying anymore and just Enjoy what I Have, but then comes another beauty in my path.
If your admiration for those HE's is anything like mine, you need to hide the checkbook.

Just want to give an update on Spencer to you guys and a thank you for the thoughts and prayers. He is looking better and feeling better each and every day. Concrete rash losing the ugly scabs little by little, almost no blood when he clears his throat and it looks like I can remove the stitches tomorrow or Wednesday before I fly home. Being here has also given me some time to do the dad thing in I was able to fix some doors at his rental and replace the brakes on his truck that had the front rotors warped. It took about 4 trips to the depleted parts store to get the necessary tools and cheater bar to break some bolts loose but we finally got it done. Felt like I was back in the Bahamas doing shade tree work laying in the gravel and slapping at the local fire ants.
The first night here I’m laying on the sofa trying to get to sleep when I hear gun shots from two different guns right here in his neighborhood. I don’t mention it to him since he had enough to deal with then last night we are sitting here watching Joseph Wales and suddenly it sounds like a firing range and I mean CLOSE! His head jerks up and looks at me with wide eyes and simply said sounds like the same guns fired off the other night. He asks if I think he should call it in and about that time a slew lit up cars, motor food and ambulances go flying by the front door. I looked at him and I wouldn’t bother with the call. He stuck his head out the front door and said every thing was happening in the next block just on the other side of bus street!
When this whole thing occurred I prayed that God would use it for good in Spences life. While we raise our kids as best we can we still turn them loose and they have to make their own path in life. Often that means they first paths different than what we think is best but they are the ones who have to choose. We have had the opportunity to have some good discussions which consist of misfit me ousts in and him talking and I know he is doing some real thinking. My job is to listen and be wise about the counsel I am asked to give, not brow beat or condemn.
Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers folks. I know those of you with kids understand when I say being a parent is a wonderful life long sentence!

That could be the very one Johnson sang about. Careful, it'll cut you near in two.

Its hard to turn them loose and watch from the sidelines as they take paths we know[ from experience] are fraught with danger. Hopefully he will learn from this and move onto better paths, and a better neighborhood. Sometimes it takes a few knocks to get there attention , like it did most of us. Life's lessons can be harsh. Wish you both well, and a speedy recovery.
