When I get the time machine built, we will have a lot of fun with gun shows in 1967!

I read news Monday that Cabela's agreed to be bought by Bass Pro for $61 per share instead of the previous $65. Also selling the bank unit differently. Cabela's said on Monday it now expects the deal to close Q3.
I went to Dallas Market Hall gun show about two weeks ago. It wasn't the same as 2-3 years ago. Less tables, less people. In the Metroplex, the best shows are Ft. Worth and Big Town. I did like being to walk at leisure without squeezing through crowds.
Latest I can find online, dated 4-17, indicates the sale is going through. They say the sale is expected to go through in the 3rd quarter.

I bet the pros at my golf course thought the same thing when I showed up for lessons with my pink clubs and bag, then triple bogeyed my way around the course. They were pretty snarky at first, but now they are sweet with me.

New Midway flyer arrived today. I see that Midway is now the go-to place for bicycles. Not just any bicycles.. Midway has the "Rambo". How tactical is that, right?
Ya know... I was thinking of buying a new lawn mower from Lowe's but maybe I should look at Midway first.

I read the same thing. The banking unit was being sold off, as well as the credit card division. I think to different sellers. That might have been at the request (order) of either the SEC or the DOJ as a condition of the sale.
Stock holders are going to get a smaller pay out, but not a much smaller pay out.
It will be interesting to see what Bass Pro does with the stores, inventory, and of course the employees.

I get about a dozen or so emails a day from Midway. The only ones that I pay much attention to involve sales of magazines, especially 3rd Gen magazines.

Now that Don Rickles is gone, I'm glad we have you!

Midway offering birdhouses made of license plates now too.
Everything changes, but there's always good with the bad.
I decided to buy a particular .22 rifle to match the extra hole in my head. Three days later it's at the local gun store, and the rings I ordered from another company were in my post office box. The new scope will be here tomorrow.
I don't see anything wrong with companies trying to make money, I didn't work for free myself most of the time.
