All the best to you Rick. I hope they have you permantly patched up this time. If you're up at st. chucks they not only have a great and beautiful nursing staff, but some pretty good views too. Seems like you might be able to set up a pivot on the roof and get some long range practice in if you can figure out how to silence the 204. Maybe just shoot when the helicopters are comin and going.
Take care and let us local guys know if there is anything we can do for you while your laid up. I can split wood and rake pine needles with the best of them and you've got my number.

Good luck on your recovery. I've had my carcass lopped open a time or two myself and its nice to know that there are people out there that care. Dave

Rick,

Hope you recup fast so you can get those guns ready for Skippy. I know what you mean about those nurses. The pretty ones always make your hospital visit more tolerable.

Gettin' older is like an older dog, you don't chase the cars anymore but it sure is fun layin' in the yard watchin' them go by!

Get well soon!!

[Ryan S Albright]

Get well soon RIO. If you and the wife want to come down this winter for some warm weather let me know. I should have the boys out of the house soon and there will be a couple empty rooms.

[Rick in Oregon]

Well, I got the good news that I get sprung from Chuck's Body Shop (St. Charles Hospital) in the morning (Friday), so ohh-rahh, home for the weekend, get to see the game on my own widescreen with wifey and the girls at my side.

A very sincere 'thank you' for all the well wishes sent my way, prayers too. As I said earlier, it's quite touching to know so many of one's peers took the time to check in on me. I truly wish I could repay you all with a great rat shoot on me. I should be all fixed up now, ready for the Skippy Wars to come soon.

No BR Pivot on the roof Bullfrog, the Bend SWAT would just love that (they know me), and thanks Ryan for the offer of a warm place down south too, but I'm taking wifey on a cruise later this year, so that'll have to do for her 'warm-fix', but thanks anyway.

Next time I log on, it will be from home. Ya'll have a great weekend, and I hope the dogs cooperate for those of you that venture forth with your 204's. (Melvin maybe?...... )

Later gang, you all got me smiling now!

It is true this is an extended family and you my friend are at the head of the table. Take care enjoy the eye candy of nurses and get out in the field soon. we all hope your shots are true and the wind is light, the sun is warm and you take care of skippy. It is something when you can call each other friends with out ever meeting someone. It would be a pleasure to shake your hand someday.

Glad to hear your on the mend. I'll send you a GI Joe 30 carbine to play with till your healed enough for the BIG guns. I take it you had no luck with the VHR eyeball HUD or you'd a baged one of them pretty nurses .
