[QUOTE="red dirt shootist, post: 4324223, member: 52708"] Still like to shoot, reload, and buy one every now and then. Can't shoot like I used to, can't buy as many, and I hurt more. But I still try. In 1979 I won an Okla. state championship, then a few years later I ripped the cornea in my shooting eye all to hell, then a mean ole' stud horse tried to kill me, but only broke my neck in 2 places, blew a disk in my back, and developed a fondness for bourbon, good or bad. Couple years ago I exploded my ankle, and after 2 surgeries they wanted to take my leg cause of infection. Now they say 2 more surgeries and I'll be walking like new, but they would like to examine me for brain damage from the fall. Nope. Not going to do it. I'm going with what I got, thank you and goodbye. I was never a tough guy, but I've seen them, kids I've met in hospitals, and old people walking to work or pushing a cart, with a horrible limp, in real pain. So don't give up, do what you love. And what I've been loving lately is a Sig P210, kinda pricey for me, but one day I'll git er done. I hope I go out and do a little shooting, the day before I die. [/QUOTE]
