Greetings From the Hospital!

Post by Rick in Oregon »

Okay you 204 Varmints, just thought I'd check in on you all while here in the hospital after surgery yesterday. I'm up to over 70 stiches now, a record for me all in one place.

I'm gone one day and see Brian posted about the Demo's already at it to register our guns. It sure didn't take long. My first order of business upon returning home is to start writing emails to all my elected representatives, and I urge you all to do the same....no procrastination, no apathy this time. We're in deep trouble if we all don't unite and get with the program. If you're not in the NRA, you're missing the first step in the fight to keep your guns, don't say "I'll do it later", as we may not get a "later" this time. Nobama has his entire cabinet stocked with all the old Clinton gun-haters, and they have a long list of atrocities to try to bestow upon us, believe me. They've waited a long time for this window of opportunity.

But right now I'm looking outside at snow capped mountains and the open juniper forests and desert below, knowing full well coyotes are running about, Skippy is getting ready to wake up in another month or so, and wishing I was out there right now with a rifle.

You guys all have a great week and weekend, go out and shoot a rifle for me. The very best to all my forum friends! :D

Heal quickly, be done with all this surgery silliness, and get back to business!

We could be overrun by Skippy if you are not there to do your part! :wink:

Rick, I sure hope you are all done with the plumbers now! We expect to have you in the fields fighting off hoards of Skippy and his pals real soon.
Hotshot, we in the E.O.R.F.S. now call our beloved leader "Zippy" :eek: :lol: (well at least as long as we can get away with it!)

Rick - I hope you have a speedy recovery. I've had my share of surgeries (7) and can't even begin to tell you the number of stitches, nuts, bolts, screws and pins I've had or do have holding things together and I haven't even hit 30 yet! It no fun at all but hopefully you'll soon be back behind one of your .204 mistresses, knockin' the heck out of skippy and his friends!

Take care. I am sure you will have a nurse or two convinced about the usefullness of a 204 around the house by the time you leave! :)

Hey acloco, he's a sailor....he'll have the nurses convinced of something. Get out of there RIO, and after those PD's, Rats, Nobamas and all other of their ilk.

I love you guys! Really, it's pretty neat to know so many like minded guys that would take the time to send well wishes to someone they've never met, except here on the forum. It really is like an extended family, and I really appreciate all the posts in my behalf. I only wish I could spend a few days afield with you all at one of my favorite ranches, heating up our 204 barrels together. Skippy would not approve.

Passing the time in my room here, watching DVD (guy) movies that I selected from home on my portable player, then every now and then, get a fresh pain shot, wander down the hall with the "med tree" with bags hanging off it, and arrive at the 'family room' where the 'puter is to see what you guys have been up to.

As for nurses, there are indeed two honies that classify as true "tens", but of course, much younger than me, but sure fun to have around. True eye candy. So Lee C. and acloco, sailor yes, but no convincing to do these days any more....wifey would not approve. ;)

I should get sprung on Friday if all goes well, but in the meantime, you guys keep posting adventures and 204 stuff. I never get tired of reading about my favorite subject. I'm just considering this time as getting closer to Skippy-filled alfalfa fields, and over a thousand loaded 204's at home just waiting for spring.

You can call me Zipper, Rat Force Leader, Der Obergruppenführer, or anything you want, just don't call me late for Skippy! Thanks you guys, you're the best. :!:
