Long time coming

[Woobie]

For a couple years I've been wanting to meet Indiucky and see his shop. Well, after delaying far too long, I made it. I had the week off, and my brother took half the day off. So south we went for three hours, and boy, was it worth it. His shop is every bit as BBI has described it: a museum with guns for sale. He's got some really incredible stuff in there. I could go on and on about it.

But on to our intrepid curator/entrepreneur. Rick is just a fine man, a wealth of information and a wonderful and interesting conversationalist. And too kind. Really, far too kind.

Best of all, I had the privilege of meeting his beautiful and charming wife. I wanted to make a few more stops, so we left. I would have loved to talk to her more.

I had to leave with my own marriage intact, or I would have sprung for a CHERRY FN49 he's got for a screamin' deal. My loss.

Anyway, thanks for everything, Rick. Lord willing, this won't be the last time we meet.

Rick is a stellar guy. I was not fortunate enough to meet his wife on my visit. I had knee surgery before Christmas and was off work for a few months, and had the time. Making the trip, was on my bucket list, and well worth the trip.

Went down over break before New Yrs. Well worth the drive, just a stellar feller.

the harmony is so prefect. Every time someone says long time coming this song just pops in the brain

Rusty Hornet and I made that journey. It was something I will do again. Rick is the real deal. Hie lovely spouse is a joy to converse with. The Ingo-its flourish there.

Ha !!
I think you just copied my post from last week...lol.

It really is worth the trip even if you don’t have the pleasure of meeting his better half.
Rick is a really great guy.

Don't delay. Admission is free. Leave more time in your schedule than I did, though. An hour wasn't long enough, by a long shot.

Crosby, Stills and Nash. Long Time Coming

This is the first thing that came to my mind also. Love their music, hate their politics.

It made me think of "Long Time Gone" by Darrell Scott. Talks about Burley Tobacco and finding work in Indiana, too.

He also wrote "Never Leave Harlan Alive"

Rick and the Mrs. are good folks. Been way, way, too long since I've been over.

Currently off from surgery too. Tell me more about him and his shop. I have free days between therapy sessions.
