I eat red beans and rice or chili the night before if I anticipate the need for heated seats...
Tires screaming and the knocking valves make such a great sound a stereo would ruin that!

You can wear those fancy field pants to hepa filter the heated air too.

Thanks Zippy,

I honestly hadn't noticed (2,000 probably means I spend too much time bsing on here .. oh well ).

I don't care about Hal ....but I think he'd be happy to cash my check. I understand Hal was quite a skeet shooter " in his day "...maybe still is, I don't know him personally.

I met him briefly about 22-years ago. He was the national president of NSSA at the time. In San Diego on business, he dropped in at the club at NavAirSta North Island during a tournament weekend. Seemed like a nice enough guy. At one time he had the exclusive US rights to Krieghoffs, or perhaps just the K-32s.

They do not offer it now, but at one time Browning's Superposed had a two trigger option. If you pulled the front trigger, the bottom barrel fired and then the top with a second pull on that trigger. If you used the rear trigger, the top barrel fired first, then the bottom.

That seems the best of both worlds.

I have a friend who has one - a Belgian swan neck O/U with two triggers - it's his pheasant gun - nice looking
