yes it has been since I was last on here before I started my move and what a project that turned out to be. Found a place a few blocks away and contacted the people said they would "help" and would up doing most it by my self no big deal just found out how much junk I had gotten in over a year! All went well until one day I was at the storage site unloading my truck and WHAM felt like I got hit by a .500 Mag in the chest and thought to myself this is not good sit down after a few minutes the pain went way down and I got the truck unloaded and got in the car to go to pay some bills and stopped at the sawbones to make an appointment for ASAP . Well he made a appointment for a echo and I went and as usual I knew I should have brought my own razor( I think the get this at the bottom of the sea next to the Titanic)Well being that I work EMS I have seen echos and kinda know what to look for and did not like what I saw, two days later ole sawbones calls me and say your going to a cardiodisector. (crap) so I go to him yesterday and yep the aortic valve need to be replaced along with them using a roto rooter in one (or more) of my artires this takes place on 9-2 so I'll be of work for about a month. Boy am I gonna make that aflac duck quack! That is not the only reason you have not seen me here the other reason is that the phone company needed to be talked to several times to get them to transfer my phone after the lied and said it would be on the 19th (which it was not) then they said it would be the 25th, guess again, yep it was to day , after I called from a phone both and b listed the lines as I had no 911 access,have bad heart problems ,a wife that is 4th stage COPD,contacted the state attorney generals office consumer affairs division and about to contact my attorney and make another complaint with the attorney general so get off their tail and get my phone on!. But through all this I guess I'm lucky cause I did not get laid off like 100 other of my co workers did. By the way where's Hazcat?.
Well its a little after 3 am and I sittin her on the puter (finally)and the wife wakes up and comes up behind me ,rubs my back and says "you got your nitro handy"? Well yea! Why? Well you got room in your poor tucked out heart for another great grand baby?Unscrew the bottle for me will you. And then she walks away. HEY I have nitro and 6 refills!
Thanks to you all, I have received so much support that its overwhelming me I thought I would get online or a few and express my thanks after tomorrow it maybe the next day or next week that I'm back online, so I'm going to take advantage of this day off and hit the range and blast some bpins to pieces.Again thanks for the prayer and well wishes. As far as the nitro goes I am careful if I have gas!
Well things went well as there are no arteries blocked but the aortic valve needs to be replaced asap will see the surgeon on friday.
When I was 6 yeas old (46 years ago) my dad and uncles and aunts got me started in shooting with my dads .22 single six and my aunts bearcat(yea the original bearcat) and just had a blast with them! Then one day my uncle shows up with this single action that was alot bigger than my dads .22. It was a .44 Magnum, and he asked my dad if he thought the boy could handle it, he just kinda laughed and said the maybe he should help, well,he put that big ol gun in my hands and told me to hang on real tight and pulled the hammer back and told me to wach the sights and pull the trigger . I did as iI was told and the next thing I knew there was the biggest grin on my face that is still here today. Now I owen sevreal Rugers but my favaorte is my Super Redhawk that has over 250,000 rounds through it and recently I began to have some problems with opening and closing the clyinder. So I talked to a nice lady at Ruger about sending it in for repairs, I told her thatI had shot alot of reloads thru the gun and some were not of the mild variety( Dad told me to always be honest) and she told me to send it in. After about 2 weeks later my Super Redhawk came back with a list of things repaired at no cost to me what so ever. They need to expand on thier commercials--- Ruger, Rugged,reliable and dependable, WITH THE BEST SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN THE WORLD!!. Now I just got a MkII for my Great grandson to start shooting with when he turns six or seven, I know, I know he's just 18 months old but if the unfortunet happens to me I want to leave him somthing that he can chiarish the rest of his life with no worrys. A Rugrer! or two or three or four five six.
My first time was when I was working for a security company that had a parpmacey in River Rouge Mi. It was on the 3rd of July and hot as hell out the store was set up in the back of the parking lot facing out with two doors about 6 feet apart I was close to the door about 10 feet away when I heard pop,pop,pop at first I thought it was just firecrackers and I went to the door and looked out side and saw a man in a 4 door ford with his hand out the window shooting at another car and saw the bullet stroke the driver of the other car in the head. I pulled my S&W model 10 from a flap holster and told everybody to get down and I hit the burglar alarm button and went to the door and started to air tne revolver up when a siren blasted and a voice came over a load speaker for the shooter to put down his gun and I saw the gun dropped and put mine away. 6 moths later I testified what I had seen and the guy got life ,I was 20 years old and I'm 52 now I have pulled my weapon many times and had to pull he trigger twice. Its not fun. And it makes you old fast. And yes their really is the "Mark of Cain".
When I first saw Shooting Gallery I was impressed with Michale Banes way of talking to the regular people and his always with a smile attitude. Then I found about this form and joined and I must say that there is not a day goes by that I am sorry that I joined . Since then I found out about Mr. Banes co-conspirators the Marshals and what great people they are , as far as some of the others , HAZ is a riot , Tom Boggan is very smart and does his research on his topics , just read his blogg, plus the fact that he lives near a range that rents Smgs how cool is that! To all the others that I have had interactions with it has been a pleasure an now for the final thanks, thank you for showing me about spell check!
We rescued 2 from some people down the road they were in very poor shape as Saks had to have a vet remove the chain that had grown into her neck and both had been started all most to death which is on of the reasons we took them as they were going to shoot them both, the other one Dude was as mangy as mangy gets and with a proper diet and medicines got him back to a running dog , but unfortunately he got away one night and when I got home from work in the morning I went out to find him about 200 yards into the woods and he had lost a fight with a bear(seen the tracks) about all that was left was the coller. But Saks is a true outdoor dog that is into her years now and happy in her dog house( an old pop up trailer that she thinks is a palace) but I admit that she really needs to go on a diet(like me) she is getting so big you can barley put your arms around her and I can't help but laugh at her with those stumpy little legs. All in all get the beagle. You won't have a sad day in your life.
The place I go to is on 800 acres on state land that I and a few friends go to about once a month It has a several creeks through it a some really good camp spots but sometimes Young's come out there to raise hell and we go out thee and have to clean up their messes and sometimes they are pretty bad ones and the stat does not do much either and we have replaced drains and fixed the roads, and bridges using what mother nature provides but all in all the best spot we have out there is spit by a creek with fish as we camp on one side and have the get together fires and hobo dinners on the other side. There is all kinds of different vegetation and trees that all grow together meaning it is a place of harmony and peace. Just a great place to relax and get you head together. A week out there really does the soul good. And its a good place ti hunt deer ,coyote , bear, and turkey. Got a trip planed in about 3 weeks and I got my squirrel cooker already to go.
