Ooooooo... that S/N and pics part is what bothered me when SF said they "needed" that...
I agree with Sobo, that's like registering your firearms with the Government
Maybe buy a Enclosed trailer ( what ever size you wound need )? Then keep your gun safe and emergency supplies. in it all the time. When you have to evacuate just hook up & go
Finally got around to checking my policy. That $10,000 figure I gave in my previous post was from years ago when I was with State Farm. My policy now only covers a little over $4,000. The amount is based on the greater of $3,000 or 1% of your Coverage A, which is the amount for the house. Yikes! That's basically a couple of rifles with scopes plus maybe a shotgun and a 1911. I'd best get to looking around for some more coverage.
It is a bit sad buddy, but not totally. On the plus side, my son is my constant hunting buddy. He will definitely cherish the guns and other outdoor things I leave behind that we shared together. The other stuff, I will encourage him to sell.
The Grand Sobo has multiple Kodak slide carousels (maybe a 3 or 4 dozen???) and IDK how many 8mm home movies that comprise the Complete Grand Sobo Family History from just prior to his marriage to who would become us kids' mum up to about 10-15 years ago, a span of 55 to 60 years. I think I'm the only one who really cares to look at those slides and movies from time to time. I trust that when the Grand Sobo "finally packs it in" (as he refers to his ultimate demise), he will bequeath those slides and movies to me. The sad thing is, I don't think either of my kids will be the least bit interested in that stuff. I fear they will regard that family history in much the same way you discovered that your kids did...
Can't help feeling like somewhere along the line we somehow failed in passing down the family lore. But did we really? Or is it just a sign of the times?
I had the kids interested for awhile when they had school assignments about their ancestry. Since both of my kids were adopted as infants, they have no "family history" from a biological progenitor point of view. So, they relied upon us, their adoptive parents, for a family history, to include the history of their grandparents and great-grandparents. There was a flurry of interest in all of that at that time, but I sense that has passed, what with their moving into young adulthood and heading out on their own lives. I did what I could to make my family's history interesting (there's a lot of cool characters in the Sobo lineage, some very recently deceased to back 1,000 years to when Poland was a kingdom, and our very namesake), but maybe it really is just a sign of the times...
If they're not careful, it may become excavating firearmsIs evacuating your firearms like evacuating your bowels??
