Tuning the 1911
That is a fine memory! I hope to make some memories such as that some day. So far my attempts to improve anything haven't been the kind of memory a feller wants to hold on to too tight. 
I was down at one of the local shops just killing time and saw a 1911 Colt in the case with a tag on it claiming a manufacture date of 1918. They were asking $1200 for it. I couldn't help but wonder what all it might have seen in its life time. There were two Argentine copies of the same thing that went for considerably less. All of them had seen rough handling by the look of them through the glass. Since I was killing time before going in to a job interview and had no money anyway, I didn't even ask the sales guys to let me handle them.
