    Welcome aboard Bubbalowe.  Just went through a similar situation with a shotgun.  Gave it to my brother for safekeeping at a time when I was moving around a lot about 40 years ago and finally made the effort to get it back.  The impetus behind this was that I have recently purchased a shotgun as a gift for my teenage grandson, who has recently taken an interest in bird hunting.  I had my shotgun retuned to me so that we could hunt or do some skeet shooting together.

    Oddly enough, I bought him an electric guitar for Christmas back in 2012 (at his request), thinking that it would be something for us to do together.  Unfortunately, he never took to it.  Then, frighteningly, several years later, he went over to the “dark side” and became a drummer.  Oh!  The humanity! 😀  Not a total loss though.  He is taking a bit of interest again in guitar.  And I also play bass, so we can always jam as a rhythm section.

    in any event, as Ceptorman said, there are a lot of people here with a vast amount of knowledge who are more than willing to share it.  

    What was the best and/or worst Halloween costume you ever wore?

    I did the usual costumes (Frankenstein and other monsters, etc.), but one time I think I actually put on my suit, the appropriate mask and masqueraded as Richard Nixon.  This would have been while I was 8-12 years old and he was in office.  I had a warped sense of humor even at that age.  Can’t remember wearing a costume during my adult years.

    Additions To Olympic Sports

    Hmmmm.  Baseball was an Olympic sport from 1992-2008, then dropped.  Go figure.

    I have made several serious attempts to watch Cricket, but have been unsuccessful to figure the sport out or develop any interest in it.

    Pretty much lost interest in the Olympic a few years back when they came close to eliminating Wrestling, one of the original Olympic sports.  They came close, but reversed course and kept it.  I’m like, okay, you’re going to keep sports like Synchronized Swimming, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Badminton, but eliminate Wrestling?   Yeah, that makes sense.

    I love your SG Supreme, I' d like to find a blue one for a soft price.

    Thanks.  They’re great guitars.  I was fortunate when I bought mine.  It was 2004 and I wanted a black one.  I was living in Tucson and I couldn’t believe my luck.  Rainbow Guitars had one in stock so I ran down to “test drive” it.  It took me very little time make my decision and buy it.  
     

    The blue ones are also beautiful guitars.  Good luck in your quest.
