square body?

Not quite. 1990 but from Arizona so very clean with no rust. We'll see how it is.

I posted this across the street earlier.
Hi all! I had a good visit with Rick (BA) ( Birds Away) yesterday and he is chugging along playing the cards dealt to him. On Monday he was Baptized and it was uplifting and gave him strength. Tuesday Rick had a big drop in his BP falling down to 80 over 50 and a low oxygen level so he is now on oxygen. He has a DNR order and thought it might play out but made a recovery. His morphine has been increased for the 2nd or 3rd time to take away the pain of cancer. He gets this 3X a day and the next bump will put him to sleep until his time comes to an end. We talked about good times and CZ's. One week ago he said he wished he could do one last CZ rescue but it was just not in the cards with his limited time. Most of the time he never eats but when lunch was delivered while I was there he did sample the roast beef, mashed taters, gravy and peas & carrots. He made me sample it just because he kids me I will eat anything and we both agreed it needed salt but was tasty for prison food! Unfortunately he never keeps food down and said it would come back up after I leave. Last week he had a piece of pizza that his brother Dan brought for him because he had an urge to taste it. They tell me I can only stay 30 minutes but I stay until he gets very tired and needs a nap. Yesterday I stayed about an hour 15 minutes and was caught while exiting his room. I will see him this Saturday at 11:30 and they will probably watch my time and usher me out at noon because of their coved crap.
The first time I went to visit it was not allowed because I did set up an appointment. This did not set well with me but nothing I can do about it after several phone calls into the facility. Visits were set one day a week apart then 1 every 5 and now 1 every three days. Rick had talked to Hoosier 45 and he said that they thought he had maybe 2 weeks left and Rick said he would outlast that! Rick has always liked to set goals and this was always at play with each of his CZ rescues and resulted in big smiles and satisfaction for him. I have been so fortunate to have Rick as a friend and I pray he will have a peaceful passing but will miss him a lot.

Thank you for the update. Prayers continue.

Afternoon all. Pretty sure all the drugs from this morning have worn off and still just a little sore, but definitely manageable. Does hurt a little more if I cough, but I expected that.

 

[GregD]

Glad things are going good for you, DD!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy Greg. Me too! You know I think this is the first surgery I've had since I had my tonsils out as a kid. I don't count colonoscopies. When I think of all the surgeries DoggyMama (and Sam!) has been through, I consider myself pretty darned fortunate.

Bought my first gun in a long time last night. It's a Carcano M41 long rifle from 1942. Got it from Allan's Armory. I thought it seemed like a pretty good deal, especially for its condition. Checking Gunbroker completed auctions confirmed that, so I went for it. Should be here early next week.

$2 a round for m855 down here at GI Jeffs in Daytona. WTH

Nice pick up DD

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Thanks Expat. I'd had one before but sold it. It wasn't in as good condition though. I've got a carbine, and also a Vetterli Carcano rifle but I missed that M41.

Oh yeah, and this T38, but it's been converted to 8mm Mauser. Little dude kicks like a mule!
