    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    We went to see Top Gun tonight with my youngest and her husband. They all liked it, I did not. I shouldn't say I didn't like it I guess, it simply did not live up to my expectations. It is entertaining and has it's moments if you follow one of Mavericks lines, "Don't think" I tend to think too much. She had a 2 and a half hour escape which was nice. And stayed awake through the entire movie.

    Apparently Tom took some of the cast up in his P-51 Mustang so they could experience - ve & + G's prior to filming of the aerials.

    He also used his Aero L-39 Albatross to get them used to G, aerobatics, and operating the cameras. More HERE.

    My wife is doing well. She got her wig the other day. It's a very full wig so it makes her look different. It looks nice though, she doesn't plan on wearing it much because it's hot. This weekend we had to travel home which is 2 1/2 hours away and she managed to stay awake most of the way each direction. That's was impressive as she didn't stay awake before the chemo. We had a Brad Thor book on CD in and maybe that helped. People don't think sometimes. We were going to a memorial service for a longtime friend of mine who passed away several months ago. His mother came over to talk and I'm sure she meant no harm but she started pointing out all the people in the room, we were in a church fellowship hall with about 70 people, who had cancer and then went on about relatives of hers that died of breast cancer. My wife was polite and never said anything.

    This week we are traveling north again while I work on the cabin again, she'll get to relax a bit and we can do some tourist things again on the weekend. Hopefully she'll have more energy than last time. Only a few more weeks of this chemo and then she goes on one that is only every three weeks.

    Sounds like some positive progress. Hope the cabin trip is therapeutic to some degree.
    I got out into the forest for a day last week with my niece. Spent some time in silence, just listening. No noises other than the wind through the trees and a few birds calling. It's been a while, I guess. Didn't realize until then how much crap I had been putting up with, and had left behind, even if just for a bit.

    It's not that people are uncaring or don't think Steve its how they relate to your wife's present situation with the dealings they have had with Jimmy Dancer in their lives and the impact it has had.

    I remain positive that all will come right for you both in the long run and positive that the change of scenery and fresh air at your cabin will be a great boost to you both.

    I get that. I know she didn't mean to be mean about it. It was after all a memorial luncheon for her own son and that can't be easy even if it has been several months after his death. I think she was trying to put a positive spin on it but it wasn't working in my mind. I know the woman pretty well, not a mean bone in her body
