    Update on my son.

    Re: Update on my son. Lots of deep breathing exercises and counting to 100 Quee. He's a damn trooper. He is stoked about being able to walk to the deer stand next weekend. I don't give a damn what walks out, if it's brown, it's down. Deer beware! Patrick

    Update on my son.

    Re: Update on my son. Maggot, I'm trying real hard to slow him down. It's hard to tell a kid who has been dragging a walker around for two months to take it easy. He's doing great at therapy and not once has he bitched or said why me. He has a super attitude and is stoked about youth...

    Update on my son.

    Went to the bone doc today and were told to get rid of the brace and start walking. No walker, no chair, get your ass up and go. That's pretty much all the prompting he needed. Surgery to remove plate and screws is scheduled for Dec 21 and will be out patient. Thanks for all the prayers guys...

    Savage light weight hunter 7-08

    Just picked up my new hunting rig today. Got the Savage light weight in a 7-08. Loaded some 120 Barnes and going to see how it shoots in the morning. Initial impressions are very good. Smooth bolt and nicer wood than I thought it would have. Still think a nice Kevlar would have been better...

    Check this out, my kid is walking again!!!!

    After two weeks of therapy he has reached his flex goal of 90 degree bend and is walking using a walker for balance assistance. He has drive I can only wish for. He wants out of the wheel chair more than anything in the world. I've said it before but he is a tough kid and I'm proud to be his...

    Great news from the doctor this morning.

    Took my boy for his two week checkup after surgery this morning. Doctor said that his bone is mending ahead of schedule. He also said that he could start putting weight back on it and start walking a little bit with a brace on. The brace is just for support because of the loss of muscle mass...

    Kimber vs Cooper vs CZ!

    Re: Kimber vs Cooper vs CZ! Of those three I would go with Cooper. I have several CZ's and love a Mauser action but only my 308 varmit is super accurate. The others are hunting rigs and shoot 1 to 1 1/2 MOA. I have a friend that has a Cooper in 25-06 and it is a friggen laser. I've tried...
