    Shoot man, life slings curve balls at us all the time. You're doing the right by jumping in and hollering "Foul, you mf-er" and stepping right back up to the plate. ( not sure where the baseball references came from today. I'm not much of a baseball fan)?

    I'm just now getting my ducks in a row after a looong go around with my C spine and some nerve damage. They pretty much gave my C spine an enema and blew the shit out of it. Cut out the back of my spine from C2-C7. Fused C-3, C-4, C-5, and C-6. Slapped in some titanium rods and a crosslink and a bunch of screws. The whole process is very humbling. Plus the COVID debacle deferred my surgery for over a year and 6 months. A non functioning arm didn't meet their standards for emergency surgery. Finally though, it all worked out. I will say that was one of the more intense surgeries I've had.

    Sadly it affected my shooting as well. The nerve damage was to the left arm, so my support hand is not very supportive. But, I'm addressing it too. My work schedule has changed to 12 hour shifts, but once a month I get a week off and a couple of days off here and there throughout the month. So, I've got an IDPA guy from the local range to work with me and help me reteach my left hand and muscle memory. Used to be I could work through issues like this, but this guy is not only coaching you, he records it on video and slaps it on DVD so you can dry fire drill at home and have your video cues right there.

    On the plus side while I was on medical leave, I did mount optics on my 20" AR, put a couple of Primary Arms scopes on my AR carbine length,put a Crimson trace green laser on one of the carbines, put a Leupold scope with Firedot reticle on a 10/22, and rescoped my Howa .270 Winchester with a nice 50mm Leupold with Firedot Reticle. Reticles are squared and scopes positioned good eye relief.

    All of the firearms work was good for finger dexterity, plus you know me and firearms, reloading, etc

    Sure do hope you can be online on a regular basis. We still have a member that occasionally drops in and has an aversion to dancing bananas, lol.

    How about you, Couch. I'm getting older and memory ain't the best, but it seems like you mentioned dropping off AAS for a bit and were thinking about starting a family/spending more time with the family?

    What's going on with you, man? . Again, awful glad to hear from you!!
