Give us a yell when you return to the nest all fixed up.

Has anyone heard how Tom Watson's month plus hospital stay is going.  Anyone know what hospital Tom is in - would like to give him a ring.

I'm baack!  

First of all, has anyone heard from or about Tom Watson ("theirishguard")?  

As for me, I'm now sporting a scar from the inside of my right eye socket down along the side of my nose which a Nineteenth Century Prussian military cadet would have coveted as a dueling scar.  This was the third sinus surgery I've had in the past year.  The first started simply enough as an endoscopic procedure to repair a deviated septum left over from a broken nose and to remove a sinus polyp.  The second, also endosopic, was an attempt to remove a papilloma revealed in the pathology report from the first procedure.  The papilloma kept growing, so this time they filleted me like a salmon, removed the problem, rebuilt the cheekbone, and left me looking like the aforementioned Prussian cadet.  

No matter.  My wife says she'll still keep me.   ;)

Thanks, guys, for the good wishes.  It's good to be back.

Welcome back Richard - wasn't the same without you - sounds like you had a good time.  :)

Someone on the Seecamp forum visited Tom Watson in the hospital this past week.  They reported that Tom was hoping to be home and back online in about ten days or less.

Richard - welcome back Sir - I hope the ''duelling scar'' is quick to heal.  Sounds like you must have, surgically speaking - been to hell and back.

Dave thx for news on Tom - have missed him too - be good to have him back posting again.  Haven't heard of late how Kathryn (IIRC - hope I remember right) is doing too.



I had a fun shoot Sunday pm and here is a pic I got of a guy's ''Deagle" .50, which I had just shot too before this.  Not super sharp as hand held camera but - lovely fire :D

Also - here is a link to a short vid of some Tannerite I took being ''ignited'' LOL.   Tannerite-time - lotsa fun :)

Chris:

Great photograph, as usual, of the "Deagle" .50AE.  I love the feel of the thing's gas operated cycling mechanism when it's shot.

For those who may have missed it, here's a link to John Taffin's review of the DE .50AE reprinted with permission from the August 2005 edition of GUNS MAGAZINE:

http://www.magnumresearch.com/docs/GunsMag-08-05.pdf

I've posted this photo before, but it gives a quick comparison of what I call "the large and the small of the matter."   ;)


And by the way, after viewing your Tannerite video, it occurs to me that I have some trees and brush that need clearing down at Critter Creek.   ;D

(Had to edit this a few times to get it right.  Rx meds seem to be kicking in.  No driving or range time for me today.   :-/)

Joke for a lazy Sunday:

A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate of a maximum-security installation.  His written orders posted in the guard house were clear; no vehicle was to be permitted under any circumstances to pass through the gate unless it had a certain sticker on the windshield authorizing its admission.

An Army sedan driven by a corporal and having a passenger in the right-rear seat wearing the uniform and insignia of rank of a brigadier general approached the gate.

Stepping out of the guard house, the sentry held up his hand and said, "Halt, who goes there?"

"This is General Jones," the driver said.

"I'm sorry," the sentry responded, "but I can't let you enter the installation.  Your vehicle does not have the required authorization sticker on its windshield."

The general, leaning forward in his seat,  said, "Drive on!"

The sentry said, "No, Sir!  You really can't come through.  I have strict orders to use all necessary force to prevent any vehicle not bearing the proper sticker on the windshield from entering this installation."  

With obvious irritation, the general barked, "I'm telling you, corporal, drive on!"

The sentry walked around to the rear window of the sedan, leaned over, and said, "General, Sir, I'm kinda new at this sort of thing.  Am I supposed to shoot you or the driver?"

Nice one Richard ;D

Here are some <cough> recommendations for living - you may have seen them

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of
boiling water down your throat and presto, the blockage will be almost
instantly removed.

2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting
someone else to hold them while you chop away.

3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by simply
using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for
a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a
timer.

5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you
will be afraid to cough.

7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will
forget about the toothache.

Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are:

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.                

If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
                  
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
And, Remember:

 

1. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

2. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.
 
3. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.

4. And finally, be really nice to your family and friends; you never know
when you might need them to empty your bedpan.

Hauling Away the Leaves

Well living in the forest can be beautiful - but in the fall there is a big downside - you are buried in leaves.

Hauling away one of many leaf piles to dump deeper into the woods.

Something evey MountainMan needs to haul logs, plow the half mile to the road in the winter,  and etc.

Tom

That is what I drive when I want to "Pick Up Women".  And since the Bobcat can lift 1600 pounds - at 130 lb a lady - heck - that is a lot of women  ;)

You're welcome to all the leaves Dave!!!

Love the Bobcat tho - always wanted one - just ''because'' - but to be honest probably would not exploit it fully.
