Thanks for the prayers and suggestions. Everything went well. Surgery was at 7am and I left the hospital at 11:30am.

Thanks again, Dan

DadsMod12

I'm going in tomorrow for a new knee and I'd appreciate your prayers.

Thanks, Dan

Found this on Auctionzip. If you're in NW Ohio this looks like it could be fun. If I'm feeling up to it (getting knee replaced 8 days earlier) I will be there on Friday.

All I can say is I guess the duct tape didn't hold.

DadsMod12

That is a work of art! I love the pictures on the tree.

One of my favorite arrangements. I've played it a few times, but never had the chance to conduct it.

My favorite patriotic band song/arrangement is Carmen Dragoon’s America the Beautiful.

Congratulations!!!!

I retired 3 years ago, was retired 2 months when I was offered a job for half the money. I took it and a few friends asked why? My reply was simple - have you seen my wife's honey-do list.

I picked up a 92FS about 7 years ago. I've never had a problem with it. I like the big grip.

Whenever we get a call from a charity we always ask, how much actually goes to the charity. If they don't answer or try to feed us a line of bs we tell them to remove us from the list (usually doesn't work) and then hang up. We give to the Salvation Army. You can even tell them how often to contact ...

Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad (Army Air Corps) in 99. We buried my mom today. My cousins and I spent the late afternoon looking at pictures we found in the house. We found pictures of my uncles who served in the south pacific. I learned a lot about them and what they did. Two farm boys who were...

I've never hunted hog, but I did see a gun a show a couple of weeks ago that would do. Winchester 1876 in 50-95. The guy wanted $22,000 for it. It was a very interesting gun.

Are you sure your 30.06 wasn't neutered at an early age?

One of my best friend's father-in-law was stationed at the air force base. He was walking with a buddy to early mass when he saw the priest standing in the doorway yelling and pointed to the sky. Not sure what happened after that, but I do know he retired as a colonel. My friend said his FIL never r...

I've used a CPAP for the last 6 years. During my test I didn't stop breathing, my breathing slowed down so much that my oxygen level dropped to around 90. It took me a week to get used to the mask. I run the hose under my pillow and it comes out above my head so I can sleep on either side or on my b...

Wow, that is a thing of beauty - and it's not even finished. I can't wait to see it when it's done!

I have never seen or worked with bog iron, but I have worked with hematite and coprolite. I'm going with bog iron. I've never posted a picture but if I did it right then the one on the left is hematite and the one on the right is coprolite. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk193/djgordon80/IMG_315...

I am a rockhound/lapidary. I'm past the collecting point, but if you want me to cut and polish a piece of the agate, green argillite, or greywacke PM me. I just got a new (to me) diamond pacific pixie and this would give me an excuse to play with my new toy.

I remember when I was around 6 years old our springer spaniel was starting to have problems. He was 14 years old. When I got home from school one day he was gone. We looked, but never found him.

I hope she comes back.

DadsMod12

I now feel very inadequate, and my life has been a total waste - at least when it comes to leverguns.

DadsMod12

That's funny! Of course I am a band director and we do have a warped sense of humor.

DadsMod12

I retired from public education a year and a half ago. Thought I was going to have time get back to the hobby that helped pay for my college -lapidary. Didn't happen. Got a chance to teach at a local university and our oldest daughter's husband walked out on her. Now I spend my spare time and money ...

You're all in my prayers.

Carefully

With an older RCBS. Haven't used it much, but no problems so far.

DadsMod12

WOW!!!!

I've been to 49 states and now I can't wait to get to Alaska. Maybe in 2 years.

I’m jealous. I love the model 12. I inherited my dad’s model 12. He bought it at a farm auction sometime after he got back from WWII. It’s well used and there’s no blueing left, but I wouldn’t take $10,000 for it.

DadsMod12

If my work schedule allows I'm in.

DadsMod12

3 hour drive to get there. 2 3/4 hours to drive home. 6+ hours of pure fun, except when a couple of companies asked me to move on or stop drooling on the guns. The Ohio Gun Collectors exhibit was excellent - lots of levers!

DadsMod12

That doesn't look like work to me. That looks like fun!

DadsMod12

Count me in. Thank you!

DadsMod12

I guess I’m just ignorant.
I thought you were trying to decide if you should go cut some firewood or go swimming.

DadsMod12

I love it! I wish I had some of my old cowboy toys; although I do still have my Roy Rogers chaps and vest.

DadsMod12

My dad always had a frig and freezer in the unheated garage. I remember when the freezer went bad he had a hard time finding a replacement because he said a self defrosting freezer would keep defrosting when the temperatures in the garage stayed below freezing.

DadsMod12

Okay, I guess I am getting old. GoatGuy mentioned paddling by the principal. I remember when I started teaching I was on the other side of the paddle. I was just as nervous as the kid I was paddling. Do you remember when school started with the morning prayer and the Pledge? How about the milk at sc...

We love both of them, but we scuba dive. Key Largo has some great local places to eat the local seafood, but for sight seeing there's not that much. Key West has some interesting history, but is a little bit of a tourist trap. The drive to Key West is great. Take some time and stop at Anne's Beach i...

I've got my dad's 2nd gravely. He bought his first in the late 50's, it was a rebuilt early 40's model. He traded that one in for a 1967 L8. I've got a 30" bush hog, 40' finish mower, 4' blade, rotary plow/tiller, snow thrower and a 28' saw blade for it. Thanks to eBay and Richard's I think I c...

You and your family are in my prayers.

DadsMod12

I'm sorry for your loss. My dad passed in 99 and I know how it feels to want to make that phone call. It's tough, but it will get better.

Dan

DadsMod12

Oh my, I'm jealous! Someday, if we ever move, I hope to build something similar.

DadsMod12

Congratulations! You're gonna love retirement. I just retired from teaching after 33 years.

Haven't had a mouse in years, but we used to take yarn and rap it around the bait trap. If I remember correctly we sprinkled flour on the yarn. I suppose you could use what ever the mouse likes, the important part is the yarn.

I'm rolling on the floor. My wife (of 33 years) is not laughing.

Wow, I didn't even know about this show. I'll have to go next year. It's only an hour drive for me.

Sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose a dear friend.
