My “Bassaversity” just so happens to be (only 2 days from) my birthday. Last year for my birthday my wife Connie got me my first bass, amp, and b2b lessons - all two day before my birthday… Very Cool because I had made mention of my desire to learn bass several months prior.
This year I have mentioned several things,… double bass; custom .45 cal 1911; electric upright bass (EUB); Barrett .50 Cal Precision; flagpole for the front yard…
Guess what I got?..
She was at the store today and texted me and said that the UPS driver was suppose to deliver it and she said that I would know what it was when it was delivered…
I texted back and said… “YES!! A new bass,… or maybe a new gun… or possibly a blow up sex doll!”… (being my smart ass self)
What shows up is a new (very nice) commercial grade flag pole for our front yard… I love it!!!
Then Connie decides to give me a card with it and a note that says…
“ You’ve got bass’s a plenty and weapons amass, as for sticking it to something, how ‘bout this up yer ass!!”
Have plenty 1911’s, @mac… A Springfield just because that was what I was issued to carry when I was in the Navy; a Colt because hey, it’s a Colt; a Ruger because you can use it as a hammer and the damn thing just keeps shooting; a Kimber because that’s the one I like to carry with me every day. What I would like in that line next would be a Custom Ed Brown…
As for a Barrett… YEA… The .50 cal precision would be a cool toy but the price is about 3x more than the precision I have chambered in .308… Actually, my wife bought me that one two years ago for Christmas…
WOW! @Lanny
My experience was limited to .22 up to .308 professionally . Loved every minute of it but times and employment changed which has left me without firearms for the first time since I was 17 !
I just might do that @JerryP!.. Actually, I have some lyrics written for a goofy song that me and my Navy buddy wrote when we were a bit on the south side of normal one night called “Lost Loves”…
Here’s one of the verses… and chorus… we still play the entire song after we get a little loose at times… Both our wives just shake their heads…
“Made a date with cross-eyed Kate and took her to a movie…
Asked her how she liked the show, she said they BOTH were groovy!..”
“With shirt tail flyin’, I left her cryin’, singin’ hi-de-hi-de-hi-diddle-doe and I’m on the road again!”…
@Lanny So true! I have three Rugers and they are all very reliable and very accurate. My LCR (357/38 snubbie) is my everyday concealed carry piece, the LC9 (9mm with 17 round mags) is my open carry piece when I so choose (I have a CCR), and my main household protection cannon is the awesome GP100 (357 stainless with 4" barrel) . I love taking all three of those babies to the range.
Lanny I nearly wet myself, love Connies humour.
Happy Birthday & Happy Bassday
I was shot with a Lee Enfield 303 nice clean through and through.
Lanny you keep on thumpin
