Welcome from a recent AZ transplant. I'm another resident of Cochise County. Two nice pieces you picked up! Murphy's seems to be my downfall since I arrived here.

Yeah. Murphy's do get some nice pieces in from time to time.
 
Welcome from the NW corner of Alabama. We love Tucson, but its been some years since we were there. We lived in SW New Mexico for 10 years and made some trips to Tucson. Love the Arizona/Sonora Desert Museum and we have camped in a park south of town I think the county owned and operated?? Two very nice S&Ws you have there - greatly regret trading off my no dash 586 4" blue gun.
 
Welcome. My folks retired in Tucson and lived there for 18 years. I live in Utah, which is in the early stages of being loved to death, and I'd ditch it for The Old Pueblo in a heartbeat if I could. Especially in the Winter.

Interesting, my wife and I have been considering relocating to Utah. The summers here are too long and hot.

How is it to live in AL?
 
Welcome from Hot 'lanta. My son, who just retired out of DM AFB as the CO of the 47th Fighter Squadron. (A-10's) puts me up here whenever I'm in town. Love it.IMG_1767.JPGIMG_1776.JPGIMG_1761.JPG

Well, summers are hot and humid, as you might guess. Fresh green chile is hard to come by (major drawback). Hunting seasons are long with liberal bag limits (very good). Cost of living is fairly low. I was born and raised here, my wife is a New Mexico native, so we've always had dual citizenship 😉 and have lived both places plus a 6-year stint in Arkansas. I miss the desert and all the open public land in the west but we try to get back out there to visit pretty often, and plan to do more of that when we retire in a couple of years. All of our grandkids are within two hours of us here so that kinda keeps us anchored here now.
 
Picked up another S&W revolver today in a trade: 25-5 8-3/8" TT TH RR WO.

Decent shape. No box or manual.

Welcome from Marana!

I operated a weather station in Marana.

Funny story: all of our weather stations were surrounded by a 30 ft by 30 ft square of grass so that we could get accurate soil temperatures. The station that I was operating in Marana had a small maybe one foot berm of soil around it to contain the water and I had to turn on and irrigation pump that pulled pump out of a local waterway and flood-irrigate the area. I don't remember if the water came from the CAPS canal or where. Anyway, it was 114° one day and I had finished up work on the weather station and turned the pump on to irrigate the grass while I sat in the air conditioned van and did my report. I would let the pump run for about 20 or 30 minutes until the water got near the top of the berm and then I would shut it off and leave. I'm sitting there getting ready to get out and turn the pump off and I see a damn catfish swimming around in the bermed off area. Dafuk! So, I'm in the middle of the freaking desert, it's 114° out, and there's a damn catfish swimming around my weather station. 🤣 Weirdest thing ever.
 
Welcome, lived in Tucson from '68-'84, U of A grad too. Used to be a good shop on Pima, Jensen's that closed years ago-my dad and I did a lot of business there. Sometimes I miss it but only in the winter 😂
 
Welcome from an EX-Arizona resident. Got sick of the heat after 38 years and headed north ! Stay cool !!
