Long Time Gone
I've been gone from the Forum for a number of years. Declining health, and an associated worsening attitude, had me give up my collection of hand ejectors and turn to more passive interests. I gave all the guns but one (kept for home protection) to my best friend. Now, after having very slowly recovered health and attitude, I have taken up again my old passion for Smith revolvers. I now own four (1961 Model 14-1 6" , 1964 Model 19-2 4", 1968 Model 10-5 4" ANIB, 1977 Model 27-2 5" Nickel ANIB). I'm angling to get three or four more. I never posted that much in the Forum, but I made an effort to contribute when I did. I hope to do so again.

Welcome back my friend I haven't met. Make yourself at home. Pull up a chair and sit on the floor. The coffee is almost ready.
And, Praise the Lord for your improving health!

I’m like you I keep busy doing what I can. Right now I work on chainsaws.
Can’t do motorcycles yet but I plan on it. I haven’t parted with nothing yet.
Never take your irons out of the fire till your sure your done. In my case I’ll never be done. I have a lot of fight in me yet. I have so much to still do.
Healthwise I’m hurting but I don’t focus on it.
Right now I’m building a insane/hot chain saw something I can work on the bench. You tube has examples it’s a husky 372xp for my own first build. I built others before.

Robert, those four revolvers that you have collected this time around would be solid additions to any collection. We look forward to future posts and hopefully a photo or two every now and again.
Welcome home,

Robert....I am really glad that you are on the mend now. I pray that the Lord will continue
strengthening your body. Hang on to your faith and your guns...you need them both.
