Tomorrow is Groudhog day. Punxsutawney Phil will come out and we will see if we have more winter or if spring will come early.
But I am referring to the movie which came out in 1993 starring Bill Murray. You see, I am also caught in a sort of groundhog day time loop. Every weekday for the last 29 years, 4 months and 18 days I have commuted by train into center city Philadelphia in the morning and roll right on by the Fox Factory building at 1913 North 18th and Windrim Avenue. Every night I do it again in the evening.
Think about it. Allowing at least 2 weeks a year for vacation, I have gone past the Fox factory an estimated 14,680 times in the last almost 30 years. So in some way, I start my day thinking about Fox guns and end my day thinking about Fox guns.
No wonder I have become such a nut. So like Bill Murray, I relive everyday thinking, strategizing, planning on how to discover the next great Fox find. The funny thing is, I really do not go to gun shows all that much and I have uncovered my best finds locally, not over the internet. I'm lucky in that regard, the area I live in is literally the AH Fox company's backyard.
So tomorrow, like every other day, I will wake up and look forward to the chance to discover that next great find.
Groundhog day suits me just fine.

HA what a great "Groundhog Day" experience for a Fox collector. Attending GH day in Punxsutawney is a fond Straub beer drinking memory for me. The collegiate drinking festivities are somewhat different today than when I attended from what I hear.

Yes. Yes they are.....but St. Patricks Day is FAR worse. Being from the Indiana, Pa. area I have three words of advice for anyone that lives in town and who can do so during that week.....Get Out Now.WPGRIFFON wrote:ROMAC
