I must be a little sentimental. I just pulled the Ithaca out of the closet and found my gun cleaning stuff. Tomorrow, I think I’ll clean it, and maybe call a friend who has 150 acres out in the boonies. I haven’t shot the gun in years and that is a shame.

It is the gun I have had the longest. When I got out of the Navy in 1972 I had been out of the US for about 2 ½ years. I went home to find that my dad had sold all my guns, my Gibson guitar, and my 43 lb Bear Cub recurve bow. I had to start over from scratch.

Damn, I just handled the little Ithaca. I’d forgotten how light it is. Feels great.
