Yeah, I been fly'n, my R/C B-17 and my Spitfire.

Beautiful day, 81 and sunny.

Doc says I got about 5 years on my pacemaker before it needs to be replaced.

Banana bread with vanilla ice cream and sweet ice tea fer them that want some.

Lawns in good shape, nobody's been on it!

 Carlos,

 

I got 8 years out of my first PM/ICD. One night SWMBO says “What’s that beeping noise?” I don’t know I’m deaf. Next night same sound. She says “It’s you, your beeping!”

 

Went to the Doc, he says “Yep, batteries just about shot.” “ You have about three months left before they go completely.” “We’ll replace the whole thing, new tech is better now.” “ Oh, do you want me to turn off the beep?”

Well yeah, who wants to wake up beeping in the middle of the night?

 

At least this time he tested the new one while I was out on the table. The first Doc installed it while I was awake and then says, without explanation, “I’m going to tickle your heart, OK?” Like grabbing a 240 volt wire, without notice!! Believe me I know, I was an EM3 in the Navy. 

 

Keep the the Faith!

Raining here in Ottawa. 

Looks like it may be one of "those" summers around here: Cool and wet.

No matches until July 5, then off to Cornwall and Ruff's Regulators.

Now get off the lawn!

CJ,

My PM/ICD was installed last January, I was on the table again in March to repair a lead.

Again on the first week in April for the same thing.

Three weeks later went in for a regular check to find one lead was emitting too strong a single that would shorten the life of the battery so they shut down that lead.

Wonder whats next.......

I told them to stop buying these things from WalMart, if they bought them from EBAY in bulk they would get free shipping.

Lawns good , fer now!

Carlos,

 

Good luck with those lead thingies. Hope they get them fixed. 

I believe I’m still using the originals. Guess I’m lucky.

 

The first PM Dr asked me if I hunted. Installed it on my left side so a long gun wouldn’t pound it.

He was a thinker, paying attention to patient needs. I never would have thought to say anything until it was too late.

The second one who replaced the PM with an ICD was the one who jolted me. I think they had to install a third lead as the ICD needs three (not 100% sure of that).

The third Dr replaced the ICD when the battery ran down did a good job., no jolt.

 

Lawns drying up. The town sprayed the lake for water weeds.

No irrigation for 1.5 weeks or no lawn at all. ;)

Now I'm really grumpy since I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

Come on up here and I'll show you.  They go good with almost any kind of coffee and I've been known to eat a half dozen for breakfast.

 

Besides, you need to come up north every now and again to retain your sanity.

I told the doc that they should stop buying the defib/pacemakers at Walmart and order them from ebay, at least that way they would get free shipping.....

Never fear cuz I is here.

Just re-o-lized this year is my 30th anniversary with SASS, wheres my silver bullet?

My first big shoot was was BOOMTOWN in Santa Clarita, Ca. VERY HOT!

There was a wedding during lunch, we all stood in a circle and fired our shotguns in the air after the I do's.

There was a buck skinner there with a donkey, the donkey carried his guns and other equipment and was VERY mellow because so many people were petting him all the time.

Lawns green, nobody's on it.

Drinking tomato juice and listing to Rush on the radio.

I mowed this morning. We have been watching the remains of TS Barry just a few miles west of here and have gotten almost no rain from it.

Blue Boy had a great birthday,  lots of gals makin over him. Hard to be grumpy when thats going on. We are gearing up for the TN State match in October, then going to the SE Regional later in Oct also. I continue to struggle with shooting duelist with short thumbs, yes my hammers have been modified and still can barely reach them.  Oh well...GET OFF THE LAWN  oh that feels better

 

Imis  I think i was GOFWG #252 or so. Anybody still have the list?

Bought a new toy, to shoot in the house.....

On a whim I bought a ASL AR-15 Air Soft rifle.

What a kick in the shorts to shoot in the house into a pellet trap I made and using Shoot n See targets.

I put a red dot on it and shooting at 18 yards in the house and hitting the bulls eye every time and when I flip her to FULL AUTO she just shreds the target. Its electric powered and the mag holds 350 rounds and if I were to hand the rifle to you you would swear its the real thing.

Ammo is REAL cheap AND..... reusable.

Carlos (there's a sniper in the house) Murphy

 

Keep off my lawn now.....fer sure!

I shot Josey Wales yesterday and won my category, I was also last in my category. It was fun, fraught with wobbles and blunders, but fun. I dont need to mow for a day or two- that is not an invitation to you ner-do-wells to tramp all over the grass. Iffin ya come visit that would be great but stay on the concrete

I have spent two days this week rebuilding a stage for the Tn State match. It was HOT, I tend to perspire, a lot. But the lawn grass is not growing as fast. I am going to shoot the SE Regional this year also. But I will grump about page three just cause I can. no new toys for me for a while i reckon. That will make ya GRUMPY
