Broken Ankle

[klkak]

The swelling is going down a little. It don't hurt quit as much now. I have a follow up with the surgen next week. I think he is going to take out the staples. I'll let you know more as time goes on.

Glad to hear you're doing better.

What it sounds like in the Klkak home.....

"Honey, can you get me....."
"Honey, will you bring me....."
"Honey, I need......"

Ain't life grand?

[klkak]

Well, be that way then.....I'll just walk my Wentworth Mauser Mark X .375 H&H

Big Gun show Oct. 11, & 12th at the State Fair grounds in Palmer.

Did you say if you were going with the German #4 or the Duplex......?

I'm getting the German #4 recticle. I'm thinking it will work great if I need to make a fast follow up shot at close range. ie. Using the thicker crosshairs to brackett the target. When I get it finished I will post some pic's and let everyone know how it shoots.

Bro I just saw this thread and I am sorry to hear you broke your ankle, we'll keep you in our prayers and hope for full and speedy recovery.

The German # 4 is what I use also.

[rebel]

Here's a question for ya... Same effect.... for a follow up.

For black powder, 45 or 50?

For powder what's best and why?

[rebel]

I've got a lyman plains rifle in the 50. Last year I won the shoot w/ regular black powder. I was thinking of triing the Shockeys' powder. Do you or anyone have any experience w/ this powder.

I've also heard the 45 shoots flatter (duh). How much at a 100 yrds?

Is it true the .32 takes too much cleaning?

Well, these questions give you something to do.

I went for my follow up with the surgeon today. The tech cut the cast off and the surgeon said it looks good. I however almost puked and passed out. The surgeon told the tech to put a new cast on it. The surgeon then told me to come back in 7 days. He would take out the staples and put a new cast on it. He then smiled and walked out. I did over and hour of driving for 5 minutes with the doctor and 45 minutes with the tech and waiting. Now I'm going to take copious amounts of oxycodon, prop my leg up (above my heart) and go to sleep.

I like my 7.62 german mauser

klkak, sorry bout your accident , ive been there , i used to ride motocross. I ate dirt on the washboard and got smashed by three other riders.i feel for you man.

[Rick]

I love two threads in one. It's makes for much more interesting reading. So, for the sake of newcomers, I'll condense both threads into one. Here goes.

You could probably remove the staples with a 7.62 Mauser. Of course copious amounts of Oxycontin will give you problems when trying to clean a .32 unless, of course, you use a German #4. If you spent just five minutes eating black powder it would probably make you puke and pass out.

That sums it up nicely Rick,good job.

[klkak]

Rick, I am at a loss for words after that comment.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

thanks Rick, well said

[Rick]

Just tryin' to help. Just tryin' to help.

[Gray Wolf]

Now that was funny!

I had a follow up appointment for my ankle today. They took the cast off and took some x-rays. The tibia fracture is healing really good. The fib fracture has not closed up yet. So they put me back in a cast and said to come back on 6 Oct. I am so ready to be done with all this.

Hopeak, I took the Hawkeye out and shot it with "open sights" off a bench at Birchwood range. I fired five 3 round groups at 100 yards. All groups were right at 2 inches. I can't wait to see what it will do when I get the scope on it.

Hang in there. You'll be letting tourists run you over in no time at all.
