"Good Friends, Good Guns, Good Whiskey" by Skeeter Skelton, 1988. While I had read it when it first came out, I lent my copy to somebody years ago and was never returned. This one was lent to me by another friend so I could revisit Skeeter and Joe and Dobie.

^^^ Seeing that makes me want to take another look at "I Remember Skeeter" by Sally Jim Skelton, his wife. A quick search came up dry, I'll keep looking. Writings from various people including Skeeter. His wife was quite a character too.
I'm reading a couple of Guy Lautard's books: "The J.M. Pyne Stories & other selected writings by Lucian Cary" and "The Machinist's Bedtime Reader". Fun Stuff.

I've been working on The Winchester Book by Madis, almost done with it but I hit a section of less interest... the 22s and autoloading rifles.
I also am working on Winchester Lever Legacy by Clyde Williamson. I don't care for his commentary. I got more out of the introduction by Madis than I have from the author, though it has a few interesting tidbits, and I suppose if you were looking for load data for some of more obscure Winchester cartridges it would have more value.
Now I have one to start called Dreams of ElDorado, I forget by whom, but it is basically a book of the history of the old west.
Been reading the Goodbook a while, I'm over into Samuel in the OT, into Ephesians in the NT, and into the 90s in Psalms (I keep a bookmark in all three places); Finished proverbs. Some pretty wild stuff happened back in the Old Testament.

the Spartans ashes.
it ain't like what you'd think and it has wholly wandered off track by the second book... but it's highly entertaining and gory.
oddly it kind of portends things happening now and the possibility of what might be the end game of a certain political party if things keep on going the way they are..
