I just realized I registered over a year ago and have never posted. Been lurking around absorbing info and shooting the crap out of a 744VH8 I bought a couple of yrs ago for a rediculously low price ($300). I love the gun and this sight is full of great DW devotees. I just retired from 32yrs of hauling some of the nastiest chemicals on the planet. Been to all of the lower 48 but have stayed faithful to my home in WV. If I offend anyone don't hesitate to say so, sometimes I just ask to many questions.  Huge WVU and Steeler fan, that should offend someone. lol

I retired after 20 years in USAF in 1999.  Last duty day was on a Friday, started new career the following Monday.  Working on my next retirement so I can devote more time to shooting and fishing.

welcome aboard officially.laugh  Don't be a stranger in the future, we're always up for a good gab session about DW's...or practically any other subject too, for that matter.lol2

Retirement...that will probably continue to be a pipe dream for me. Unless I unexpectedly hit it big on a new invention or something, I'm planning on working until I croak.confused

welcome to the forum and retirement.  I retired from Alabama Power in 1998.  Went back to work the next day at the same job as a consultant for 4 more years.  Finally retired when social security kicked in at age 62.  I just don't have time to work any more.  As for buying all the guns I need, I did that in 1960 but will never have as many as I want.  I have bought 6 DWs plus a pistol pac just this year.  dwas I need to check into rehab.
