As much fun as it can be to attend large Convention's and Gun Shows, there are some inherently dangerous aspects. Temptation must be resisted at every turn, and even the slightest lapse in concentration can lead to large credit card statements.
I find myself especially drawn to gunmakers like Holland & Holland, Beretta and Jerrett. Now I need a new 30 cal hunting rifle like I need a hole in the foot, but that never stopped one from following me home from such an event.
Any booth that has free samples made with the BBQ spices and an expensive smoker that they are selling is a Danger Zone. With the small portions, small plates and toothpicks, it often takes 45 minutes before I'm full enough to walk out with my new smoker. About the time I'm in the parking lot, I remember I'm kinda tight on room in my shed because of the Blackstone and Big Green Egg I bought at the last 2 shows.
Then there are some people who just don't play fair. One particular guide has even stated that he will be located in the Rigby booth. This is akin to telling a group of 10 year olds "I'll be in the chocolate ice cream booth next to the cherries and strawberries"!
Tina recently purchased a small wooden dowel rod about a foot and a half in length. Never gave it a second though until I noticed she packed it in her suitcase for our trip to Nashville. I asked what it was for and she replied "It's for you".
I'm thoroughly ashamed to report to you gentlemen that while you are at the show you may hear a loud WHACK, and see me grasping my hand in pain followed by a female voice whispering No No No.
What are you shopping for at the SCI Convention?
BTW, Tina bought tickets for the Grand Ol Opry on Saturday night, but since I'll be sitting in one place with my hands in my lap, I feel pretty safe.
