They're fun.

Really want to pick one up. I'd really like to get one of the original Henry style, either from Henry or the Taylor's / Cimmorron re-makes

I had a Henry in 22LR and it was a nice rifle.

One of these is what I really want - https://assets.henryusa.com/uploads/rifles/H011-Henry-Original-Hero.jpg

Momma would kill me for spending $1000 + on a rifle though

Well, I was trying to get my rain barrels plumbed up to the down spout before it rained just now.
After spending to much time looking for a kit in the local big box stores one of the smarter employees shares with me that is all on line now.

So I go on line. I have 2 45 gallon dedicated rain barrels tee'd together with an electric pump between the 2 as the barrels set lower than our raised garden. I had the pump and all the hoses so no brainer. Filled the barrels with a hose and water the garden 4 times. Still water in them.
Kit comes in the mail. I pop the hole in the down spout and put the water diverter in it. I pick up the collapsed accordion water hose and it is not long enough to run 1 barrel. WTF all to hell. So it just cost me $36 for a stupid rubber water diverter. "Rage".........."Anger".........."Cursing"..............Rain starts.............Water "Diverting" out on the ground....................AAaaarrrrrggggggggggg.....

I think we are having leftovers. I need to make room in the fridge for food for Sunday's gathering that will be here.

Dammit man...

I ended up making the Tee section out of 1" heater hose and 3/4" PVC.
Now I have to find some more 1" hose. That stuff is a bit tough to find.
I bought the last that Speedway had.
