Merry belated Christmas to All

Hope you all had a great Christmas, and wish you a wonderful 2020.

More Crap

So surgery #4 went well and is healed.  She's still recovering from spine surgery, wearing a bone growth stimulater for 2 hours each day.

So the crap continues.  Not sure how long ago, maybe a year, our little dog (shiba inu) blew out her left rear leg knee.  Reconstructive surgery followed. A couple weeks ago she started limping on her right rear leg.  It got a little better then worse again.  The Boss talked about putting her down, but I'm extremely concerned about her emotional stress if we do that.  We made an appointment with a surgical specialist Vet. She's extremely attached to the little fur ball. Adding that to her sister passing, is bound to be more than she can bear.

And Again

So the Boss is having another surgery, though relatively minor.  The goal is to free up a tendon in her foot, thus reducing or eliminating pain.  That's surgery number 4 this year.

Good Days

So I had 2 good days in a row. 

Friday at the range there were only 2 others there and one was a cop. We had nice conversations as we threw various calibers of lead down range.  In handguns I shot 22lr, 9mm, and 45acp.  I also shot a 9mm carbine and my AR.  My handguns once again showed my lack of recent practice.

Today I went riding for the first time in months and just number 4 this calendar year.  So I went with a riding friend who was on a very green trail horse.  My horse can be a little feisty so I was on her other, dead broke trail horse that had only been ridden once this year. The idea is to have one very calm horse settle the green horse down. It took about 15 minutes, but the new horse and I partnered quite well.

Vaccines :-(

Sometime last winter I got shingles on the total of one side of my face.  Quite miserable.  Late spring or early summer I got the first of 2 vaccine injections.  That night I thought my head was on fire.  I slept in a recliner with a fan blowing directly on my face, in order to sleep.  The next day all was good.

Wednesday I got the second and final vaccine injection.  That night at 4AM I woke to my whole body shivering and sweat. That lasted 3 or 4 hours.  When I got up around 7, I could barely walk because of the shaking.  Better now but fatigued and chilled.

I seem to have isues with vaccines. The 2 times I got flu shots, I also got sick.

Fun this Friday & Saturday

Going to the range Friday with my new chronograph.  Wounded the last one.  Want to make sure it functions.

The other thing is with a relatively new shooter. Our horse riding friend bought a semi-auto hand gun which she doesn't know how to operate. I always enjoy working with those new to guns.

Then Saturday we'll be trail riding on our horses.  The Boss won't be going. Still recovering from her spine surgery.

Haven't been able to ride or shoot much this year.  This weekend will be refreshing.

That's Cool

It's reported that there were enough background checks on black Friday to arm the US marines.
The Boss said that any attempt to disarm the population will be problematic.
