Day 365...

So it's the last day of 2007. This normally prompts folks to indulge in some navel gazing, and the crack staff here at MArooned is no different ([ed note: he's bored]).

Overall, I'd have to say it's been pretty darn good. In 2007, I've:

*Started MArooned.
*Gotten off my blood pressure medication
*Gotten a new camper.
*Gotten a new truck to pull said camper.
*Gone on not one but two week-long camping trips with the family and not left anyone to the bears.
*Seen my son transition to first grade and "all day long" school.
*Helped my daughter weather moving to a new school.
*Maintained my weight within 5 pounds for over 6 months
*Not gotten TOO envious watching friends enjoy life in America...

I'd also like to post a retrospective "Guns of 2007" as I've done in years past. So without further ado... Here are the guns I've obtained in 2007.

First off:









Russian VEPR in .308.






Colt Official Police in .22LR.






Smith & Wesson model 19-5 in .357 Magnum.






Marlin Model 39A .22LR/.22L/.22S.




And lastly, the pumpkinator:



Saiga-20 in 20 gauge.




Three long arms, three handguns. 33% in .22LR - that's a testament to the ever-increasing price of ammo... Six guns - that's roughly one every other month. Looks like I'm going to have to ramp up the acquisitions if they pass this mandatory one-gun-per-month law...

Happy New Year everyone!

Love the pumpkinator! Resolve to put a couple hundred rounds through that sucker in '08.

Let's see,

S&W Model 10-8
S&W Model 3914
Walther P22
Marlin 25 Glenfield
Marlin 336 Lever Action 30-30

It's all your fault. You and the rest of the gang at Northeast shooters!

Happy New Year.
