Just got "The Call" - APDDSN0864 - 07-24-2014
I just got off of the phone with Bill Goodman. He just picked up my rifle from Shiloh and is shipping it out to my local gun shop tomorrow.
I'm more excited than a five year old on Christmas Eve!
I went over to Mr. Bagwell's house a couple of weeks ago and got some "magic loads" assembled for it, so I'll have something to break it in with, and start my journey into this new addiction.
I think I'll park my butt in the local gun shop on the anticipated delivery date. Time is too valuable to let that rifle gather dust.

The next few days will be the longest years of my life.
Hartford Model. 45 2.1", 30" heavy octagonal barrel, 7° leade, barrel sights, semi- fancy wood, and brass escutcheons.
I can't wait!

First, what's the secret to posting pictures here?
Second, how will you know how long I've had the rifle in my sweaty hands?

SO-how many times a day do you check the tracking info?

Robert, to attach pics, click on the little button on the bottom left that says "new reply", type your reply in the box and then scroll down some and you will see on the bottom left "new attachment" and a "browse" button, click the browse button and go find your pic and then click on the "add attachment" button on the right side. Do that for each pic you want to attach. Once you have done that, you have an option to remove or insert into post. If you click the "insert into post" it will put your pics right at the bottom of the text.
Congrats on the new rifle and best of luck.

I'm on a business trip right now and that's keeping me pretty occupied, but I have to admit, it's tough not to daydream about it when I'm supposed to be working.
