Well, for anyone following this thread (which has become a personal blog, but hey, I started the thread), I turned down the high school band director job. Too many hours away from my kids (age 9 and 6 in a few weeks; both HUGE Indy fans) and too much stress. Plus it would take away from my Indy hobby (yes, I said it). Life is good
Now, back to my collection: I sold the S&W
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/Indy_eek.gif)
to another COW member. It was too nice for me to cut up into a Bapty (which is my goal). But I purchased ANOTHER 2nd Model HE that will still shoot .455. Plus, the end of the barrel is totally messed up, so I have no compunctions about transforming it into a Bapty clone. More to come . . .
