Bill the Cat on his way out of Hawthorne,

[Rusty]

Hard to get lost in Hawthorne, but he'll find his way even if he does. Anyway, he just left here. Should stop by the Cantina tomorrow morning.

 

[Rusty]

PS: he turns out to be a good guy like the rest of the folks you meet on the HI forum. Not that that should come as a surprise.

What's Hawthorne? Is it a prison?

 

[Rusty]

No, the town is just a single square mile smack dab in the middle of the worlds largest ammunition depot.

We'll be watching for him. If he drops by the Cantina today we'll put him to work helping with the Dorje Gute.

It's BillTheCat {Uncle Bill was kind enough to let me use his PC}

Luckily Rusty had only rock salt loaded in his 12 gauge so I made it to the Cantina in one peice.

The Lama Jigne is here performing a Puja for HI. Uncle Bill tells me this Puja is to pray/bless the entire HI Co. process. From the people who supply the Kamis at Bhirghorka to the customers who purchases the HI khukuris. Truely an honor to be here today.

Uncle Bill and Rusty are indeed the good men we all think/know they are. Again a pleasure to be part of this forum and an HI customer.

I did not even try to use my 12 ga. on him. He's exaggerating. The recoil bothers me too much any more. The momentary pleasures of a good dusting of the seat of the pants isn't worth the neck and headaches of the next few days.

Besides the only rock salt I had handy was the 50 pound cattle lick block sitting outside my front door. ( Hmmm... hadn't though of using it for cutting out salt slugs before, but may go by the hardware store tomorrow and check the core drills. Interesting possibilty. There are some people - ( not Bill the Cat ) - obnoxious enough to take the shots and to blazes with the headaches.

That's why I sold the 458 mag Remington Safari Grade elephant gun, though it killed jackrabbits like 45 acp ball, ( hardly any bloodshot meat ) it just did it way further out there.

Bill's come and gone -- one of the good guys which won't surprise any of us. Got hooked into 2 or 3 hours of Dorje Gute puja which didn't seem to bother him a lot -- another non surprise.

Have a safe journey, Billy Boy.
