The gastro doctor gave me a cleanout drug to be taken 9/24 and 25th for the 9/26 pet scan and scope. That stuff is a nasty sweet fruit flavor with lots of salt. 1 pack of mix in 16 oz of water, refill the jar with 16 oz water and drink it. I got 4 sips down on the 24th. Dranked lots of water after. Opened the box on the 25th, I dranked lots of water instead. The scope didn't happen on the 26th. October 3rd, at the hospital for a feeding tube implant. Nope, stomach isn't where it's supposed to be. Afraid he'll hit the heart or lung. He expanded my esophagus so I can eat. Nope, I gagged on a grape. Waiting for more info within the week.

Tuesday the dermatologist removed a cyst about as large as my thumb from my right shoulder blade. Sleeping isn't fun right now. The PT doctor wants to know if an xray of my back has been made. None that I know of. Couldn't eat breakfast or dinner.

I went through about 15 appliance repair websites. Most want your money before answering your question. I found that the start button doubles as the error reset button. I held it in for 10 seconds and the error was gone and the washer is working right again. Visit with the PT yesterday. Says my back has a twist. Wants to see an xray but can't order one. Will call one of the other doctors and might get one. Selling brass casings cheap I got from the range. One order to fill and I'll be out of most.

Double probe at Gastro One is set for 9/26. I can call and check on openings between now and then. I have a 9 day count down on the drug pack they sent me. West clinic visit is set for 10/7, might get to change it too. I loaded the washer yesterday. Hit the power button and the selection I wanted, the light went out. CLn is on the display. The washer started without hitting the start button. After washing for 30 minutes I unplugged it. Let it set for 2 hours and plugged it back in. Hit the power button and it starts washing without hitting the start button. The door is locked, can't get to the data plate for the model number. I'll be clearing a path to get it outdoors. Lowes and Home Depot have the Entergy Star on sale today. Order one and wait for delivery.

Thanks Ken, guess I won't be there.

Gastro One needs a release from my heart doctor before test can be set up. For some reason they sent it to the wrong doctor. I can't remember if his name was ever asked. I don't know if there's a doctor by that name at Stern's in the Memphis area. Don't know why the crew at Stern's didn't look at my name and DOB and transfer it to my doctor. Now I'm over a week behind on tests.

I made it through the gamma knife yesterday. My head is a little sore where the screws of the halo were set. Still waiting on Gastro One to call for test.

Need more info.

Sportsman's Warehouse shows they have Winchester for $18 per box.

I was helping my wife yesterday, seems she gets in worse shape than I sometimes. I missed a call 10:40 am from the GI doctor. Called the number back in 12 minutes, got a recording. Left the info they wanted and have been waiting on a return call since. Hope to get a recall soon.

Directv removed 2 channels I liked at the same time, that's when I stopped watching tv. The channels were Speed and Out Front.

The visit with the Kemo doctor went pretty good. Said they put a stain of different cancers on the tumor tissue to determine where the cancer comes from. It's not quite the right color for colon cancer. He's sending me to a GI asap for a pet scan to see if the cancer is in my stomach.

I looked back for the number of the post about brass. There're no numbers on the post like sone website have. So it's "Posted Monday at 09:26 AM". I'm not trying to make a living from the sales, just passing time and helping others with a good fair price. I have lots of calibers not claimed yet. I've finished sorting all the casings, just got go back and sort like 40 S&W from 10mm. I tried the pizza again for leftover dinner. I got half of the first piece down then ate the toppings from the rest. Expecting phone calls I've had my phone on me all the time. No calls so far from GI and PT doctors. The online auction site posted 60 photos of items that would be offered last night, I watch it on zoom. Prices went cheap on some items. Not knowing when I'd be able to pick them up I let them pass.

Yesterday while out of my computer room I missed the comp call from West Clinic. I hate these kind of dealings on my phone. Monday will be the new visit. Hope they don't call again. The head nurse called about the heart doctor's drug list I faxed her. What's Furosemide for? Legs and feet swelling. I'll check with the doctor and call you back. A bit later, can you be at the hospital soon? We want an image of your legs, looking for blockage. They didn't find anything and released me at 4:05 pm. We stopped at Papa John's for dinner I got a piece of pep pizza, had to heat it a few times while I ate it and gagged on most every bit. Had a second piece too. Pizza heated a few times at 15 seconds gets hard fast. Half of each piece ended with me eating the toppings and the pup got the crust. The rifle brass sorting is getting close to the end. Someone on the gulf coast sent a list of all he wants in rifle and pistol. I have a 2 gallon bucket to sort through again for the ones he wants that wasn't sorted the first time. I have gallon bags of sorted casings that aren't being asked for. I should start on pistol casings later today. There are a few rifle casings in those 7 buckets too.

My heart doctor's visit was 8/26, called and got it changed to 8/6. Gave the nurse the hospital release papers with change of drugs. Weight 145, guess some food I eat is doing good. Heart rate 67, highest it's been in a while. The doctor checked it again at the end of our meeting, 64 still good. EKG, they said it looked good. Changed the dosage of one drug and added another back at a lower dosage. Will call the head doctor's nurse about the changes. I got back to the lobby and the head doctor's nurse called. We can get you in for the gamma knife on 8/8. Let me check on a ride. Text the kids, short notice can't take off from work. So things are back as they were. Forgot to say anything about the drug changes, asked about the GI and PT doctors, I should be hearing from them this week. 8/2022 I had an EKG with scope at the heart doctor's office, I know it has another name, I got the bill from Baptist Medical group and paid it face to face with a printed receipt. 8/2023 I had another one done. I haven't got a bill yet. I got a call from a collection service wanting to talk with me at another address. All the information she has is me but at that address. She has to talk to that person. My granddaughter enters the Baptist Medical group address into her phone. It should be less than 2 miles from the doctor's office. Nope, it gave us a 16 mile round trip. I paid the ER doctor's bill that I've received, Check on wife's bills, none. Asked about the EKG bill. Not my address, can't take payment. A stop at the dentist to pay on a bill. I said something about the acid reflex I have. That's why you're losing your teeth. Guess brushing 4 times a day isn't enough. A stop at Kroger for a few things since we didn't shop the weekend. Cash from the bank so I could get new tags and pay water bill. They charge 3.95% using a card, saved me $22.40. Back home to sort brass casings.

My granddaughter went to the range with me. She doesn't drive the interstate and her speed limit is 45 mph. I carried 15 buckets and a 2 wheeler. Brought home 7 from pistol and 8 from the rifle lanes. They have electricity, wish I had carried a fan. I got a good workout, I've missed that over the past few weeks. The barrels of casings were gone. Told they were put in the trash container since we don't have a recycling of ammo brass. I'll head back when I'm able. Offer it here sorted at a good price. 9mm .02, pistol up to 45 acp .03, large pistol and rifle .05, 223/556 no sort no inspection .04. Prefer to ship in medium flat rate box at your cost. PM me for what you want and I'll let you know when I'm able.

Yesterday I got hot stinky and wet today I feel the pain. Last night I was introduced to another casing to be on the watch for. 9.3 x 74R.

We went to the Sardis gun range today. I had a good hard workout, something I've missed the last few weeks. Collected 25 buckets of casings, let the sorting began. Half a bucket loaded into truck and placed where I wanted them, filled each bucket with the next load. 5 buckets per load on my 2 wheeler. Hope there's some 444Mar and 303Brit in there. Filled a 1 1/2 gallon bucket with 410-2 1/2 and 3 " plastic hulls. Didn't see any brass hulls.

The nurse called, be at Southaven West Clinic 8/8 at 1 pm. I better go tomorrow to the range or it will be a while before I'll feel like it. People I've talked to that's had Kemo says all you joints feel like sandpaper. You'll won't fell like talking, eating or moving your little finger. My buddy went to the Sardis range today, didn't shoot but picked through lanes bucket for 2 buckets of rifle brass he wanted. Likes the way it's laid out, state of the art kinda thing.

Going to be a busy day. Yep, can't sleep. Will get up at 7 am. C-spire is digging holes in every yard 2X3 ft. I don't want my Zoysia left for them. Will dig the hole and move the sod up closer to the front door. Trees make grass grow slow or not at all. Granddaughter is sick. Text both sons about a trip to Sardis, MS gun range, no reply yet. They have to be ready to leave for work between 3 and 4 pm. My neighbor said she might go with me. Bad thing is the AC in the truck is out. Hopes windows keep us cool enough. Meeting an army buddy from IN at Sardis haven't seen since '78. Plan to gather 20 buckets of casings. Will have sorting to do when I feel halfway good during the radiation and Kemo. She said Saturday would be better. Husband and oldest son could go with me. The buddy will be headed home then. Saturdays are busy at the range and I hate crowds.

No restrictions lifted but do what you can or feel like doing for now. Radiation and Kemo treatments starting 8/21. Visit with GI doctor being sat up.

Brass casings. Ballistic Products 410-2 1/2" #3924165, uses LP primers. I hear I can use 444 Mar for 3". 303 Brit resized to 1 3/4", use 444 Mar size/decap die to remover taper. Use 444 Mar size/decap die for the 410, 444 Mar and 303 Brit. Use LP instead of LR in all.

Years ago we went on a catfish group camping trip to Pickwick Lake. Not ready to return home we went to Piney Grove campground at Bay Springs Lake, MS. Asked the host about grocery stores in the area. walmart at Booneville, MS 30 miles away. Sunflower in Tishomingo, MS 15 miles away. We went to the Sunflower. There were stacks of cased canned good at great prices. We got 2 cans of Luck's chicken and dumplings to try for dinner, 99 per can. McHenry peaches 99 per lb, got 4. First time seeing or hearing about them. I peeled and sliced the peaches and a taste. No need to add sugar for them to juice out. Great over pound cake with vanilla ice cream topping. My wife fixed a pan of cornbread to go along with 1 can of dumplings, had to open the second to finish dinner. They are made with noodles and taste better than Sweet Sue's. 2 days later with camper in tow we returned to Sunflower. Bought 2 cases of the dumplings, all the peaches and 2 quarts of sourwood honey, $5 per quart. No store in my area stocks them. A cash saver store will order me a case when I want them. Our homemade ones don't go to leftovers no matter how much we make. Yesterday I woke from a nap and hungry. First thing I spotted was a can of the dumplings. I fixed a pan of cornbread, when it was ready I microwaved the dumplings. Afraid the cornbread would give me problems. Nope, ate 2 large slices just fine. Today I fixed a glass of cornbread and milk. The first bite was great, 2nd bite not as good, After 3rd bite Sasha my pup got the rest.

Anyone using brass in different calibers instead of 410-2 1/2 and 410-3? What's your set up?

Dad got a RCBS lube pad in one of his estate deals. We looked online for the best/cheapest lube. One guy was using 30W-SAE oil, 90 cents per quart at the time. Still have a bit more than half a bottle. Stab every 15 to 20th case neck into the pad seems to work good. Trimming seems to go faster. All the brass gets tumbled in corn cob media with polish before primming and loading so oil is removed. Have reloaded most of the same 10,000 223 cases per year for the past 12 years without the first stuck case.
