... In the meantime it appears my Yellow Boy has been reapiared and is awaiting inspection. They've had it since early February so I am hoping it will be shipping home soon.

Winchester in St Louis and it was an issue with the Forearm and it’s fit. Long story short it was something I initially missed and chose to address via Winchester and not a return. It’s currently awaiting a quality inspection and then home. Their tracking site has stated for awhile now that the anticipated wait time was 5/17/19 so hopefully I will get it last part of next week or the next. I hope to have it soon and I hope they meet my expectations with regards to the repair and the way it looks.

I hope for you too. That is a long wait. I would not think to go through that again.

Thank you sir.

Funny thing is in many ways I’m extremely impatient. However for things like this especially when I know it pays to be in the long term I can be fairly patient. I’ve ordered a few custom items which took me about a year to get. If for any reason it doesn’t meet my expectations I”ll just have to deal with it then. At this point I have no reason to suspect it won’t. In fact at this point I just committed to another in part because I have no reason to believe otherwise. Firm believer that it’s always possible to get a mistake because everybody is human but the great business distinguish how good they are at addressing the few mistakes they make.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
