Limping Again

This morning when I got up the gout was raising its ugly head. Not a lot of swelling this time, but a fair amount of pain in both feet, to go with my hip issue. Ever try limping on both feet? Not pretty. Three weeks ago the Boss and I saw specialist who took blood for testing. She got a card saying hers was normal. Hard to believe that anything is normal concerning a female. I didn't get any notice, so I suppose my blood is not normal. I have a doctor appointment in the morning, hopefully he's got some sort of magic medicine that'll help.

I'm going deer hunting at the end of the week with my brother-in-law. We're both handgun hunters. He carries a .41 Mag and I use either a .357 or .454. He has a bad knee, and I have gout to go with arthritis in one hip. If I see a deer where I'll have to drag it uphill, that'll be lucky for the deer. The only dragging I'm going to do is either down hill or on flat ground at best.

I managed to get the new safe bolted to the floor, and stashed some hardware inside. The paperwork says it'll hold 28 long guns, 14 per side. It certainly has spaces for that many, but not to my satisfaction. I don't want my guns laying against each other like that, so I put about 12 in there, along with all but 4 of my handguns. I left the handguns and 1 shotgun out for easy access just in case. The other long guns left out are of little value. The Boss will be putting her good (read expensive) jewelry in there soon.
