I saw something on the web this morning…it’s a southern boy talking about “the drones”…

“Now when they come, we have to take turns shooting…that way we know who hit what!”

"Locked and Loaded"!

150 grains makes an m2 round.

Yep. M80 is 147 grains (I think) and M855 is 62 grains. The powder in the cartridge is also measured in grains - a lot fewer grains. When I was loading for high-power and shooting .308/7.62mm, I think it was about 46 grains per shell. That was to push 168 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail bullets.

OK…this is weird.

According to my mother. We’re related to the Ritter’s!. Tex Ritter was my maternal grandmothers first cousin…talk abut some family history…I had forgotten that’s what John died of

The good news is I’m all signed up and get my test on Monday morning. Gonna take it real easy through this weekend!

Holy ! So gladyou've got the test soon.
Talk about coincidence & family history...yes, mention it for the family medical history
Who says random bar trivia has no practical use?

Tell em Dr lil and Dr k told you to take bedrest.

Take it easy. Glad you found a quick appt.

agreed - be a good patient

A Krispy Kreme donut would put me in a coma..

not just from the sugar IMO

The little old 45-70 is flinging a 325 grain boolets here. Although some guys like the 430+ grain heavies. That's getting close to the arrow weight for the compound.

Broadhead for that is 125Gr, although considerably slower at 262 fps.

Ah, commentary on discussion.
I misread that as an action statement

I was all ready to back you up, too

I'll be the guy making sure your hearing and eye protection is properly on. And explaining gun safety such that you will be confident firing the hand held weapons. I have a Walther PPK and flat stack Glock that are perfect for ladies and concealed carry. I have a vintage Remington 870 pump that weighs in at just over 4.25lbs. Evenly weighted so I could learn to hit dove when I was a kid. I'll throw a few clays for you so you can get a feel for it.

Happy Friday everyone!! I hope everyone is doing well and smiling today.

Personal note to self:
If shooting offhand, try not to sway visibly
It freaks people out

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

One more question @Missk_2022 & @Lilianna23 ….

Why does this aneurysm thing cause back pain? Inquiring minds want to know

Thanks again to both of you…I was on the verge of blowing this off, but made the appropriate calls this morning…now just waiting to hear back. It’s looking like I may not be able to get in until mid to late Jan

I agree with Wat, MissK and Lili - DO NOT delay.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

I agree with Wat, MissK and Lili - DO NOT delay.

Thanks B2. I heeded the advice from all the above! Got a screening on Monday, that starts the ball rolling to a Cardio guy. Then a new Doc in the same Health group. I had to notify my AME which is a whole other ball of wax but the important thing is to find out what’s going on.

I’ve been scared straight!

Welp - that explains the hand pain today.
Thankful for my arthritis compression gloves.
They were a big help today.
Looks like I have a narrow window ATM* to roll out those Peanut Butter Protein Balls.


*ATM - at the moment
Yes, we've covered this before

At least you're keeping on top of it and familiar with your body and how it reacts.

OH WOW! The PA didn’t seem too concerned but was concerned enough to recommend it. I’m guessing my regular EKG wouldn’t see this? Probably have to do the ultrasound (PA did mention something like that) or something. I better start slowing down a bit? Ugh…I read this and told She who must be obeyed to call my mothers heart doc…maybe just end around this whole referral BS…

Thank Lilli. It’s scary but I knew you and MissK would get to the bottom of it! Now some MZ…to get my mind off the bad stuff….

When it comes to heart issues, I only see cardiologists initially. I get weird stuff and PAs don’t have the experience or education. A lot of doctors don’t either but there is a better chance they do.
EKG show electrical workings of the heart, not the heart walls, valves, blood movement, fluid where it shouldn’t be, possibly blockage or aneurysms.
If you feel off I’d push for an endocardigram, cardiac mri or whatever.
If your pain increases over the weekend, seriously consider it an emergency.

Btw Jon Ritter died in surgery for an aortic dissection which is a tear and not an aneurysm.
An aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of a blood vessel, caused by a weak spot.

I hope it’s nothing that serious and can be treated by medicines.
I am definitely with you on the pain and taking it heart easy right now. I’m two days into meds.

Thank you for correcting me!*

@Noor - very happy to hear you're on the mend!

@HumpDayHoratio Thank you for taking this seriously. Some things have a better outcome proactively rather than reactively. for the best possible outcome for you!!

You’re welcome and thank you!
I know way too much about aneurysms because Byron died of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. I actually somehow convinced a cardiologist to check me for one just in case. I do have EDS so it was reasonable to do it, though the cardiologist didn’t know that.

So very smart to get checked! EDS increases risk for so many things like aneurysms. The day-to-day can be more than enough to navigate. And then there are hidden treasures like that?

How devastating. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you. It’s been 10 yrs and I’ve gotten used to it, but somedays are harder.
