	I was painting the office this past weekend and had to empty out the safe to move it away from the wall. Before I put everything away I took a quick photo of my three Ballard rifles. From top to bottom ... 1) No. 6-1/2 Rigby Offhand - 28" barrel with Rigby flats; .40-65 Everlasting 2) No. 3F Gallery Rifle - 30" octagonal barrel by Schoyen; .22LR 3) No. 6-1/2 custom Ballard - 28" round barrel by A. W. Peterson; .22 LR

	Joe that poor ole Ballard looks so embarrassed to have that lazer/light mounted on her. You don't leave it on her all the time do you?

	Hmmm ... 3 x 10 years ... Looks like you've added 30 years to your life! (They say that having a Ballard adds 10 years to your life ...)

	I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't quite reached my "Expiry" date yet ...
