I picked up a TX MK4 and some pellets, JSB and FTS. I didn't bring anything to sell. Everything is in limbo right now with all the bluing going out in the next few weeks. I've got some of yours out right now with two other guys. I should have it back in two or three weeks. Hopefully, finishing up the UL127. No fights. I kept away from the one or two guys that were most likely to start something. They always got out of the bathroom before I could make it in so it was pretty un-eventful. JM showed up late friday but he didn't talk to anyone until we were in the parking lot. He sold a couple of guns out of his rental to some guys that showed up to pick them up.

Re: how was the show?

I actually arrived about five minutes after a tornado hit six or seven miles from the show. It was really weird how it worked out. The last ten miles to the show it was just about impossible to see the road and I saw one big rig get blown over on it's side. It was really really intense. I had the radio on in the car and they were telling me that if you were on the south side of 440 near the exit I was coming up on, go to the lowest floor of your house and away from all outside walls.
You were dodging twisters & we were chowing down at Colton's, watching the carnage on tv. Trailer houses were definitely not the place to be that day...
Had a great time meeting up with old friends and making a few new ones. Attendance of both sellers and buyers was down this year, gas prices seemed to hurt the show but those who came had a good time.
