Didn't find any guns today, but still spent over $200 on small stuff.  Two nice finds included 4 factory boxes of Rem 357 rem max 158's for $100, and I also found a large frame zebra for $60.

 

Now here's a quick education for all you guys... Apparently I'm pretty stupid Laugh...

So I found a box of the old Speer plastic indoor 38 spcl bullets at the gun show.  I remembered shooting them as a kid in the basement.  So of course I bought them.  For those of you who don't know what these are-- plastic cases with plastic bullets that you power with a large pistol primer only, no powder.  Used for target practice indoors in the winter...

So of course since there were some in the box already primed and ready to go...

I walked into the house and showed the days goodies to the wife.  After I explained the plastic bullets to her, I grabbed one of the good couch pillows and put it up against the wall and grabbed the nearest DW15...

Of course I was in awe when I pulled the trigger and saw a perfectly round hole open up in one of my wifes prized pillows Yell...

I honestly expected the bullet to bounce off.... She didn't say a word....She is an awesome and understanding wife.  I just got the "you're an idiot" look.  Of course I'll be sewing the pillow up later on tonight.

How could we decide if "you're stupider than you look", we haven't seen your picture Wink?

Are you feeliin' the love yet? And BTW, I know I'm stupider than you look.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Lost a bit of Guinness reading that one.rofl

hmm, reminds me of the time I wanted to show my wife the glue-bullets I cast for my 44.  Put a cardboard target against the door and pop:

the dent is still in the door...

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....
