I got a little time on Saturday to play with my new toy, went through the manual, disassembled, cleaned, lubed and reassembled, (not quite as fast as Forrest Gump, but I will practice more) installed the scope, sling, and bipod.

If you ever even begin to consider trading in that gem of yours, proceed immediately to the nearest ER and sign yourself up for a checkup from the neckup!

Congratulations on your anniversary, your choice in women, and your new shootin' iron!

Thanks, people ask me all the time if she is blind, a heavy drinker or just slow. I'm still not sure how I pulled it off, if I was able to do that in business I could have retired a long time ago.

I definitely got a lot more than I deserve with her. It doesn't seem like it's been 20 years, but I look forward to every day yet to come. Thanks to all of y'all ( is that the proper punctuation?) for the kind words and well wishes. Mrs. Jusme has already expressed interest in shooting my anniversary present. I'll post reports as we see how well it shoots.

Congrats on 20. 10 years for us in June.

You are probably correct.
My punctuation suffers depending on my level of excitement.

Only 20?

Yeah this is the second time around for both of us, that's why my sales pitch must have been pretty good.

Yesterday marked the 20th year of the greatest con I ever pulled off, when I convinced Mrs. Jusme to agree to take a chance on me and become Mrs. Jusme.

I had done my part for the occasion by purchasing her something I'm not real familiar with, it involves carrots, shiny metal and sparkly rocks that she mentioned to me that she might be interested in (several times and with accompanying photos)

She has told me over the years that I am difficult to buy for, since, if I find something I want, I simply buy it (funds permitting)

I had mentioned that I was going to purchase an AR and she stated that it would be better to wait until after we found out exactly how much money we would need to donate to the IRS, our son's Boy Scout ceremony, etc. etc. ( I just hate it when they use logical arguments to prevent us from being foolish with our money don't you?) So I had put the idea on the back burner.

Anyway, since we both had to work we decided to exchange gifts yesterday afternoon. I gave her the shiny metal and sparkly rock trinket that she had requested. (I found out the ratio of orange vegetable to dollar amount required is proportional) She then brought in a large wrapped box, that looked suspicious to me and I opened up a brand new Ruger AR 556!!! I was as happy as a juvenile canine with two male appendages!!

Turns out, she had gotten into my phone (did not require the FBI assistance since she has my password) and looked at the gun package I had shown her from CDNN sports that had been posted in a previous thread and had ordered it, had it delivered to a local FFL (coincidentally the same one my son's eagle scout rifle came from) all the while afraid that I was going to buy one for myself before our anniversary.

My new AR came with a scope, bipod, sling, and carry bag. I plan on picking the brains of forum members who are much more familiar with this type of firearm than myself, so prepare yourself for some very neophyte type inquiries.

My question is, do ya'll think I ought to keep her around for another 20 years or so??
