Monty that brings back an old memory. 25-30 years ago, went out to dinner with some business associates to a Benihana Japanese grill. The smoke from the food cooking at the table triggered an asthma attack in a lady, She left the table and stepped outside for fresh air, When somebody went to check on her, she had passed. Terrible way to go, not being able to breath. She also was in her late 20's.

Not much going today. Feel like a retired dude. Wish that next school would hurry up and get all it's approvals and permits so I could get started before the cold weather arrives.

We are supposed to get back into the 80's for the weekend. I'll be up on the mountain helping some friends collect their cows. Fun riding on the mountain

 

Asthma sucks. I have had it for 40 years. It can come on quick and once you can't breathe inhalers do not work. Guys like Monty saved me a couple of times in my younger years with something they put in IV. Advair was a game changer for me, since I started using it (15 years ago???) I have not had a serious attack.

 

I'm sorry to hear she went through that Roy...you too. I'm sure she was a wonderful lady!

 

Agreed Andre. It was a hard story to read and infinitely harder to go through Roy....

 

I am thankful to have never experienced anything like that, and always feel very blessed by what I have when I read of other's who have had to endure the loss of a loved one.

 

Monty, sounds like a tough day. I don't know how guys like you go through stuff like that everyday. Roy, sorry to hear of your loss. This time last year, a few days before her 30th birthday, my wife had bad pains in her side to the point she wouldn't sit down and was just wandering around the house saying she'd get through it. She had been in a car accident and totaled her car a month before and thought it was just something from that. It didn't seem right to me, so I told her I was going to feed the cat and if she didn't agree to let me drive her to the ER by the time I was done, I would call 911. She agreed. Turned out to be a pulmonary embolism, and she spent 4 nights in the hospital. I've certainly learned to pay a bit more attention to how my body feels as I get older.


The never ending project is showing light at the end of the tunnel! Everything is hooked up in the ammo can, air lines are run and connected. Pulled the r/s inner fender out and managed to find a little bit of room to mount the relay. All wires are connected with the exception of the power from the upfitter. Will get that routed and done tomorrow, finally. This getting dark early sucks.

 

Roy has been through the ringer for sure. And it is really his upbeat spirit that helps keep me going.

 

You got that right Dak, I also draw inspiration from several here, but Roy definitely sets the example that everyone should strive to emulate!

Hope everyone is doing good, seems my little corner of the oil patch is starting to pick up, however slightly, (thank God!). Haven't been posting too much as a result, trying to get things prepared, presentations, logistics, () etc for a fast approaching "job"......I hate the many details in the planning phase, contingency plans for contingency plans, .......But, necessary.
Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on y'all!

 

Howdy Guys........
Thank You for the kind thoughts.........

Today turned out to be one of those "Lynda" Days........I remember those great days we had and I miss her.......
What is helpful is that Lynn has gone through the loss of her husband Paul. She has her "Paul" days. We both understand and can support each other.
I took time to sit....reflect....cry....and hug Heidi. Then Heidi and I got busy. Been a good day.
Spent some time at North 40 this afternoon drooling over some hand guns......
I like the idea of the laser aiming system.........

 

Good Morning Gang!

Roy, another option fast gaining popularity on handguns now are the holographic sights like the ones on rifles, but smaller. An advantage is quick acquisition of the target like a laser, but nothing visible from in front of the weapon to give away your position to the bad guy. Sorry you had a rough day yesterday, but sometimes a good cry is just what even a manly man needs!

Mitch, glad to see things are picking back up. I like boredom, but too much boredom, or boredom for the wrong reasons is a bad thing.

Dak, by now, I guess you are en route to the hospital for your procedure, so if you get to read this beforehand, I hope all goes well for you.

Scott, good luck with finishing up the compressor project this morning. Pics when it's done!

Howdy Gerry, Andre, Darren, Jon, Don and all.

 

Good morning Doug n all

 

Hi Gerry! Have a good one.

 

Roy, we have Crimson Trace grips on all our defense guns whether concealed carry or home defense. You can usually find the best price on them on eBay. The position of the activation switch is located on the inside of the grip so the laser automatically turns on as you wrap your hands around the grips. Great setup. You'll likely never keep your head enough in a defense situation to line up your sights. However, seeing that red dot where it needs to be is very easy and intuitive. Happy shopping...

 

Good morning guys!

We made it past the halfway point of the week. Let's finish strong

 

Happy Friday eve everyone.

Waiting to go into pre op... shouldn't be too much longer now....

Might have to look for those crimson grips....
