The whole pandemic thing knocked us on our asses. That and old age has made these last couple of years rough. Losing our car because of transmission problems in December further set us back.

We were at Rodeo a couple of weeks ago with our new to us Mazda SUV and this coming weekend we are going to be at South Fork.

I’m trying to get stoked about the latest Shot Show via YouTube. It’s hard with crazy wholesale prices, supply chain and shipping issues.

We are still getting over the loss of TR Graham and other folks from the Shows over the past couple of years.

Looking forward to seeing y’all this coming weekend.

This weekend we are over in Fort Worth.

The last couple of years have been hard for everyone economically and emotionally. Many of us are deep in debt. Others of us are mourning friends and relatives who died of Covid.

We are down to a handful of shows as we have lost Lewisville, Market Hall and Big Town. Our wholesalers send us e-mails telling us they don’t know when some items will be back in stock. By the way, when we do get it it is going to cost $5-10 more than what you have been paying for that item. Oh and shipping will be slower and cost more.

But damn it. We are Americans. My parents grew up in the Great Depression, a grandfather got gassed in WW I, my other grandfather died of miner’s lung. My father served in the Pacific. Uncles in Korea. I was working on a farm at 12, driving tractors. The boys I went to school with graduated and then served in Vietnam. We are Americans, when we get knocked down or go through hard times we get back up and come back, better than ever.

We do what we have to do.

God Bless America

It has been nearly six months since my accident. I am thankful to every one who extended their hand in help, thoughts and prayers. I am fortunate, as bad as it was I am not paralyzed. I am slowly regaining my ability to walk and do things like load in today.

Tina and I are over joyed with our welcome back. We are looking forward to seeing people we have missed. It has been a hard year for so many of us. I fear many of us lost friends and family members, people whose memories we will hold fondly in our hearts.

We are another year older. Tina celebrated her 82nd birthday this week.

Stop by and say hi. Stay safe and be well.

Sunday evening I (Suzy) was in a bad car accident. We won’t be doing any shows until I have recovered from my injuries.
