 I know what you mean  8). The old H&R forum use to get dozens of new posts everyday and it was very popular. Since it changed hands and layout several times it was a pita to use and 90 % of the old members quit posting.
When Graybeard posted his letter of resignation and mentioned this forum I couldn’t believe it is the old forum again but need to get more people to come back. It does feel like home  :).

I lost interest in the new forum. Glad the old one is back!

Another one who left who comes straggling back to the lure of the old forums.

Just caught mention of it in an email.

Feels like home. Reckon I'll pull up a chair and see how it goes.

I have to admit I've missed the H&R talk.

It's still here
I'm happy with the ones I have
they function well and are comfortable 

Hopefully, I'll get to prove up the
357 that got the MAX treatment a
while back. I don't have any doubts
it'll put an animal down, I just need
to do it.  Have to see something
first though.  . .

Certainly is nice to see people returning. :) :) :). I'm currently working on a pair of Handi's. Unfortunately it's that time of year when I have to do the work thing. Testing pretty much comes to a stand still till next year :( :( :(

I came back just to tell everyone that today I begin transition leave for my Army retirement. 27 years, 7 month, and 5 days I survived.

Thanks, Dinny

Thank you everyone! I have accepted a contract position teaching at the Camp Atterbury, IN medical simulation training center. I was hoping to live nearby but the housing market in that area is cut throat. I may have to live an hour or so away.

Thanks, Dinny

Congratulations and thank you.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Not so far, but maybe someday I will. This is not the same Indiana I left 3 years ago. My liver is paying the ultimate price. I think I'll talk to my primary care doctor about getting on the donor list soon. At this rate of consumption, my liver won't last for long..
