But it looks sharp!

Nothing like a good fed to go with a rather nice two-tone 1911. :) Makes me think of that Para LDA I've been longing for.. but that's a different thread. I'll surely have an Akubra first.

Thanks I like my 1911 frankengun. There's a good shot of it on one of the last pages of the Show us your guns thread in the Display room. Nearly a 100 year old design and still one of the best if not the best sold pistol designs even today. Nearly every company makes some version of it. Ah the gospel of John Moses Browning.

What Rusty said & what did you do with BIG Al?

Big Al is 30% less big than he was. Down 74lbs since you guys saw me last. Working on getting less big even still, another 20lbs or so from where I want to be. Then I can put some muscle back on though don't intend to be heavily muscled liked I was before.

Couldn't take it anymore after so many years of being in great shape I had let myself go after a long illness and injuries. It was interfering with work and hunting trips. Well I just got back from 2 weeks in the Arctic Circle hiking nearly 20 miles a day on tundra, difficult hike to say the least, and feel great. Now I am ready for my sheep hunt in the mountains.

And this is why I like this forum better than any other I've ever been on - manly men! Muscles and sheep hunting. And awesome hats. Hell yeah, hallelujah.

Good for you, Warbird -- that is an amazing accomplishment! Congrats.
The Arctic Circle trip sounds incredible.

Cheers,

My wife tells me that, at some point yesterday afternoon, I was abducted by aliens. :eek: :eek: :eek: I have no recollection of the incident -- in fact, my thinking is still a bit fuzzy about the whole thing. ;) All I know is that my dog wouldn't come back out of the woods until I got back to basics and slapped on the ol' Akubra R.M. :D

Cheers,
JtL

He's baaaaack! And hopefully no worse for wear! :D
