Grizzly Dave Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 when packing for a 3 day annual away from home, remember to pack your meds. When you remember when you are almost at the range, it's annoying to shoot the side matches and have to drive 2 hours back home in Friday rush hour to get them, even more annoying to hang at home hoping traffic clears out before driving 2 hours back to your motel by the range.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Couldn't you just take them all at once before you left home and then you would not need to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 I don't think that would be a very good idea, might lower my BP too much all at once. As it worked out, I needed to fix my shotgun anyway, the butt stock was loose and nobody had a long screwdriver to tighten it up with. At least no one I talked to. I did get to fondle a really nice pair of original vaqueros in 45 LC, stainless steel and slicker than hot buttered snot. They are really calling to me.... so far I have resisted as I was looking for another pair of 357s, but, why have two pairs of the same thing a little voice is saying, and not just the guy selling the 45s.

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Grizz, FWIW I keep five days worth of meds in my pickup, my car, my SUV, and my gun cart. That way if I forget to pack meds, I'm covered for five days. The senior moments are more frequent these days. Have fun at the shoot! You'll look back and laugh at yourself in a year or so. Meanwhile, we'll all laugh at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi Grizz, I've made a "To Do and Take" list. So, I rarely forget much. All I can think of is the time I needed my hatpins. Regards, Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Griz, you probably could have gone to a local drug store and told them where you have your prescription. They can call your home pharmacy and get you a weeks supply. Takes a few minutes but it beats 4 hours of driving. BP medicine is usually pretty cheap too. Of course, you need the screwdriver too....

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Grizz ain't safe with long handled tools. They won't let him on the streets with one. He has to go home to work on things. And besides, I am not certain that the pharmacist would believe that gummy bears are really a prescription.
