Indy 1500: 10-12 March

[KellyinAvon]

Hi guys,
Are there any military surplus rifles for sale? I like to collect Enfields, Mausers, and Mosins

I'll take a lap before the show opens and try to spot a couple. FULL DISCLOSURE: I can IDENTIFY theses rifles. My knowledge of them is slightly higher than "don't know duck **** from apple butter" but only because what caliber for each. Oh and they have wood stocks and are bolt-action.

Interesting, there was not a line of hipsters out the door at the coffee shop just west of the fairgrounds. I guess they haven’t gained consciousness he had.

OK I’ve been coming here a lot of years I have never seen parking this bad before. You got the patio and flower show, an archery championship and the Indy 1500 all going on at the same time.

1915 infield number one mark four says super bore $650 another World War I rough condition $375. And I see a few hear that look like they were dug up out of Flanders field.

A couple observations aside from parking sucks…

Saw a guy wearing a sweatshirt that said, “where can I get a High Point at?”

Morale patch: At Walmart I’m a 10

I don't know when I'm going to learn my lesson. Out $25 before I get pummeled with body odor, overpriced "rare guns", and harassed to have my sunglasses cleaned by some carnival barker.

This ain't your grandpa's 1500.

And people pay dearly for the pleasure. Or is it gluttons for punishment?

Just got back from the show. First time in 4 years. WOW!! The parking truly,truly beyond SUCKED!!!! Not that I couldn't use the exercise, but my son and I got there at 0700hrs and had to park in Howard county. I did get some 5.56, MRE's (for grandson) and chocolate turtles for the wife (had to pay penance you know) . Thing is I between parking and admission I had $25 put out before I even got into the show.For the aggravation me thinks that Rural King will get my 5.56 business from now on though. Okay...I will stop bitc$ing now. Best part of the show was meeting KellyInAvon. A true gentleman.

Great meeting you to Winamac. Not sure about the gentleman part

Is it really random that someone comes up and asks for a calendar?
