One of my favorite daily pens is a Pelikan 205 with a fine nib. Mine is a transparent blue demonstrator.

It was on that other forum filled full of cranky old guys that is dedicated to Africa hunting. I think it has been sold now.

Welcome to AH, RLD. I'm not Canadian but my first girlfriend was from the St. Catherines, ON area. Not that it counts or anything.:LOL: Seriously, this is a great place to ask questions and get good answers for anything Africa hunting related.

Exactly! It is a matter of priorities. My now paid off Ford Ranger was my very first ever new car/truck. Its predecessor was a Honda Pilot bought used in 2005 and sold in 2021 with over 315,000 miles on it. I would add on reflection to read the book The Millionaire Next Door.

I *was* a financial advisor for 25 years and held the CFP certification. I also taught it at our local state university for 10 years. As to how I afford it, my wife and I live frugally and I saved like a mad man before I retired.

Welcome to AH. You've stumbled into the right place.

I actually don't mind Houston. I worked for a Houston based company for 25 years so that may play into it. The biggest problem with Houston is it is so spread out! I also have a direct flight from NC to Houston though it is Allegiant. Even Delta is relatively cheap to Houston compared to Dallas.

I love sidetracks! Just ask my wife.

Let me change up the question a bit. Assuming you reload or have a friend who reloads for you, do you check to see if components and dies are available before you purchase a rifle in a less than common caliber? In my collection I have rifles in .250-3000 Savage, .300 Savage, .256 Newton, .308...

I realize when you get into the upper medium bore and large bore rifles that factory ammunition and reloading components are going to be expensive. However, if you are looking at anything from let's say 9.3x62 and down, do you consider the price of ammunition or components when buying a rifle...

I found a really nice one built using a 1917 Enfield. Price is good but I am having a hard time getting beyond the price of ammo. That and I have a .308 Norma Mag.

Plus we are sick of paying the credit card companies their fees.

How does this compare to the Garmin Xero?

When I went to the Eastern Cape last year, I brought and used my A-Bolt in .280 AI for everything but one animal. It performed admirably. It was an older model with the BOSS system. I did take off the muzzle break in favor of the BOSS-CR .

Welcome to AH. You are correct about 1 trip is enough to addict you.

Haven't been visited by the ATF yet! However, I will be writing checks to the IRS so taxation is theft and if I don't pay, they will send their enforcers like the mafia.

I have a bottle of the Hendricks Orbium which gives it more of a quinine kick. I quite like it.

I don't have a specific gin as I tend to collect gins as I travel. I have 5 or so from South Africa and then a lot from around the US. One gin that I can't get anymore that I really liked was Bombay Sapphire East which had peppercorns in it. Gave the G&T just a bit of a bite. My recipe is...
