    After today, it's all historical.

    My BIL gave me an old Glenfield Model 60 that did not work quite right. It did not cycle and would not load the last round. I found that the magazine follower tip had broken so I bought one from Numrich (actually took a couple of tries and over the years they changed, but I finally got the right one!) for about $15. I took it apart to clean and found a buildup of powder residue on the action. Took about 10 minutes of good scrubbing and a little oil and now it works great! It was fun to bring a gun back from the brink.

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!
