Bad day at the range got much worse
« on: August 11, 2007, 03:59:21 PM »
Took the BC and the 243 SL to the range this morning , both shot like crap , barrels were heating way too fast . So i packed everything up and headed home . When i got there i found a note from my daughter to get to the hosp. asap . my little brother had a brain anurisem rupture and they had to rush him to emergency surg. to releave the pressure .

Just got home , he came through the surg. ok , now its a wait and see just how much damage was done , so i may not be on much for the next few days .

Stimpy. My thought and prayers are with your family. I have had a simular thing that had happened this week with our crew. Sorry again Dale.
The quality of a mans life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence.

A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work!!

Sorry to hear about your brother stimply,my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.If its any comfort I work with a guy that had same thing 10 years ago.Surgery went well,then some problems with swelling and they induced a coma for a few weeks.He was off work for a year,but happy to report that over that time he made a FULL recovery!!Now other than a plate in his head he is same as always.
Godbless,and keep us posted when you can.
