xmas present

 

 

i came across a coupon code for some 12 gauge buck shot, and thought i’d give it a try. it’s low recoil, and pretty inexpensive. the shipping was pretty high, a little over $25 for 250 rounds, but overall, still a good price. i’ve been wanting to stock a little more 00 buckshot and thought i’d get myself a little present. i’ll report back when i have a chance to try some at the range.

the timing was perfect as well, fitting in with the post earlier to day…

the fab four

 

 

after a discussion on facebook about favorite beatles songs – as if that’s even possible – i was compelled to go to iTunes and make a few much needed purchases. hey jude, let it be, and the long and winding road. how is it that i’ve been able to survive this long without owning copies of these great tunes?

range time

 

 

since i broke my foot a couple of months ago, i hadn’t been to the range. so i took today off, installed my new apex tactical reset assist mechanism (RAM) into my s&w m&p9c, and spent a little time at the range. the ram makes for a nice addition to the m&p, and it was nice to go shooting. there’s a gun show in town this weekend as well, but my foot is still too sore today to go walking around. but at least i was able to feed my shooting appetite.

rolleraid

 

 

the above pictured device has been my constant companion for the past 6 weeks. after i broke my foot, the crutches were really quite uncomfortable, with the chaffing of my underarms, and the hurty on my hands. my doctor recommended i look into renting a rolleraid. at $35 a week, it was pretty steep, but it made all the difference.

today, they picked it back up, as i’m now limping around with the boot. in a way, i was sad to see it go, but i’m happy to be getting around on my own two feet.

i’m walking

 

 

i got my cast off today, and the doc gave me a removable boot. i’m walking, slowly at first, but on my own two feet. first thing i did when i got home was washed my leg and foot.

the above picture is a bone scan of my left hip. apparently, i have osteoporosis. so i got a script, and i’ll start taking calcium. it runs in my family, so it’s not surprising. it may have, however, been a factor in breaking my foot in the first place.

so the doctor asked if i still had my ovaries. “it’s complicated” i answered, but i’ve been on estrogen for 10 years. she was satisfied with that answer. need to know, basis…
