In fact, the Idaho State Patrol last week was telling people to stay off the highways unless it was an emergency. If you wind up in the ditch, you may be stuck there for over a day, as the tow trucks are swamped with calls. Curt

I was thinking about going to a show in Evansville but why bother...all the good stuff will be "bunkerized" by noon. I hear North Carolina is nice this time of year!

Larry's had two SkY M39's last time I checked, but they were really rough and he wanted $400 a piece. There are no M91's, 27's or 28's around here though.

Hey The Mississippi River! Knew I made a wrong turn this morning! Dang where to now? Well a bit South for warmth I guess! Bill With a new Mosin soon to be on my knee!

It was all fun and games until it got out of hand like this. If he gets across the river there's no telling where he might turn up... Embrace the cold, zeebill, follow that big river North, into the untamed wilds of the Minnesota Mosin Mafia Territories -- I keep seeing guys from up there posting pictures of all kinds of wonderful stuff!

Rats this snow is getting deeper! Got to go south in the morning for sure! Still smell Mosins though? Smell slightly Finnish too! Mummmm Yum Yum Mosins for breakfast! I can see them now all in rows on racks of some sort? Must be hallucinating or something? Maybe in the AM it will be clearer? Bill

Did you guys know mosins are cheaper by the dozen? I have about 500+ pounds of them I am heading home with! No Harley for me this summer I guess. Bunch of great guys came up and cheered me on, or maybe egged me on? I missed one out of ten lots I wanted but it was the expendable one. Now I got to head home see other post for more info! Later next week I will try and update you guys! Bill

Looking forward to reading updates on your haul! :) Too bad about the Harley. I want a bike also. I won't buy one till I build a garage so I can keep the weather off. Perhaps this pic of a bike will tide you over - It comes with company ;) Pahtu. Last Edited By: Pahtu 02/10/08 11:56 AM. Edited 1 times.

You have the equivalent effect of the Mosin-Atomic-Bomb..... are you "Fat Man" or "Little Boy"?? Northern Illinois is a huge crater now..... Armed Infidel

Not all Mosins later in the week I will give a run down maybe even pictures if I can convince Chuck to come and bring the camera. Hope it gets warmer, 12 now! Drove all those miles and fought that wind with that truck handling really evil and saw nothing but stars and sun right. 1/2 hour after I get home the front lawn is covered with snow and all the local schools are 2 hours late already! Talk about being Lucky! Like I have always said I would rather be lucky than good any day! Night John Boy I am dead tired! Bill
