i was hoping my hawkens come in today, forgot about it was gov. holiday[:@]

Well the Govt. needs a holiday so they can spend all those tax dollars

Since I retired back in April I don't get Columbus Day off anymore.....Every day is a holiday now.

even when I worked I never got that day off.. now that I am retired, I do nothing all day except what I want. Although picking up rifles at the post office would have high priority.

I don't know about this being retired, no holidays,no vacation, no overtime, nothing to do but hunt, fish, shoot, master gardener stuff and wood working [right now taking care of the wife] she had an accident and had to have an artifical knee put in which is why I have not been around for a week.

Hey, hey, - I resemble that remark. I like getting all those days off. Columbus day, MLK day, etc. More days to hunt on Uncle Sam.
