I'm not dead yet, I just smell that way sometimes. In my drug induced stupor, I can't concentrate for any time at all. It seriously reduces my ability to read the forum as I have in the past. I try, but I just pass out/fall asleep. I have no idea how much longer I can pull this off, but I'm milking it to the very end.
Yes, I'd love to attend NGD Saturday. A lot going on. David Carroll has cancelled his tables so we won't have a base of operations. Its teaching us a lesson, we won't be relying on others in the future, we're back to getting our own tables. His cancellation also means our friend Brenda won't have a place to sit, so she's not even coming this cycle.
I have very limited stamina at this point. I'm sure I can't walk the entire show without resting. Our plan is to take the entire band of road agents (my son's and their oldest sons) and just go for the day on Saturday. We'll do it the way of all the suckers, arriving around 9:00, walking 20 minutes across the fairgrounds, then standing in line to get inside.
With any luck, Doublesharp or Carl or Ken Shaffer will allow me to sit inside their booth for a few minutes when needed.
But this will take me back 15 years to when I really enjoyed the gun shows without having to tend my tables, constantly be nice and try to sell my junk. I'll just go inside with a pocket full of the green stuff and attempt to cheat everyone in sight. I'll have my own entourage of baggage handlers along (remember I'm limited to a 10# limit.) One of my goals will be to have my sons dragging ungodly quantities of lead and other stuff!
Its easy when someone else has to do all the work. I have no guns I want to sell. Thats a pretty comfortable position. My buddy Joe wants to buy the perfect M19 but he knows what I paid for it. Probably not worth lugging it to this show.
I just wish I had a way to go tomorrow afternoon. We've pretty much screwed ourselves by not having a table. No badges, no early entry. This is the last time we rely on others.
