I hope your wound from the missing feeding tube heals fine and does so quickly. I'm glad you didn't have to go anywhere in the snow. Safer to stay home and let the sun work on it for a day or two. We got 2 inches but the sun today melted a good bit of it. Just gotta get thru these very cold temps next couple of days. I hope the chemo is working for you. Gotta beat the cancer so you can keep on enjoying your family and hobbies. Good to hear you are still eating, too.

The camo pattern of your gun is a bonus since a lot of people are using the .410 as a turkey gun due to the amazing performance of TSS (tungsten super shot) shells. Hopefully someone sees the great opportunity to pick up a new-in-box gun for not much money that they can use to get a youngster started on hunting.

Wow...your feeding tube fell out?! Dang, that's kind of scary but it sounds like the doctors feel you'll be okay without it. I hope so. If you can keep up your appetite and find foods you like, it should work out. I hope the infusion went well. Is this a chemo treatment? You mentioned chili and danged if that doesn't sound good! Perfect cold weather meal. That, and stew. I haven't had stew in a while. Since it's snowing outside right now, seems like tomorrow should be a chili or stew lunch day. Hang in there @DeepSouth - you are a fighter and it shows.

Bump for a great reloading press! I have the same one ("Rock Chucker JR") and have used it to reload everything from 9mm Luger to .338 WinMag, and everything in between. This is the RCBS JR press (or also called the "Reloader Special" press) made in the 1960s. It uses standard reloading dies. There is an attachment ("automatic primer feed") one can buy to hold primers tubes in place to make re-priming using the press a quicker and easier process. It is $34 here: (https://shop.rcbs.com/automatic-primer-feed-combo/) It is NOT required to use the press, but is a 'nice to have item' if one wants to quickly reprime cases using the press itself. There is also a plastic catch tray that used primers fall into, but I don't see that in the pictures. RCBS still sells it for $12 here: https://shop.rcbs.com/primer-catcher/ GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SALE! For someone just looking to get started, this is a nice package of quality reloading materials.

I had to google to learn more.

A variety of gauges and configurations make it easy to find a model to fit any shooter. --------- Good luck w/sale. Hopefully this info helps a potential buyer.

Sounds like you are finding and making some foods you like. Crock pots are a great way to tenderize some tougher meats. Good thinking. Onion rings are always hit or miss; just as you said, depends on the breading. Glad to hear you are able to get around to tend to bills, not that it is fun doing that. But it shows you still have mobility and mental capability, which is great news.

I carry the 43X and really like how slim and light it is for the capacity it can carry. There are 15rd magazines from PSA (no modifications to gun required!) and Shield Arms (need to swap out magazine catch with a metal version.) PSA DAGGER MICRO 9MM 15 ROUND MAGAZINE: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-dagger-micro-9mm-15-round-magazine.html Shield Arms S15 Magazine Gen 3 - 15 Round Magazine for Glock® 43X/48: https://www.shieldarms.com/shop/sa-s15-nc-gen3-s15-magazine-gen-3-15-round-magazine-for-glock-r-43x-48-7120 (Note - Do NOT buy the "Pro-Mag" 15 rounders...they are highly unreliable.) I have a Glock 19, but it feels noticeably thicker compared to the 43X. Great gun, but I'd rather carry the thinner/lighter 43X. My 43X has been very reliable and surprisingly accurate. I'm impressed. Glock nailed it on size & grip-ability and the aftermarket came thru to bump up the capacity from 10 to 15 rounds.

It's good you are eating! I hope the infusion goes well on Monday. Hang in there.

I hate the "rebate" game. You have to be so frustrated. You bought the gun, submitted the requested information and were denied your rebate. Now they won't even communicate with you. That's not right.

The 7mm Rem Mag is a 1000 yard cartridge 'as is'. Stuff some Hornady 7mm (.284) 162 gr ELD® Match bullets through it, with 0.670 G1 BC, and you are good to go to 1,000 yards.

I just got the "influenza type A" diagnosis myself so it's good you got the shot, as your family wasn't kidding; the flu is definitely making the rounds. I'm glad you were able to keep warm for your chemo. The weight gain is a positive sign, too. It sounds like you are making headway, even if the progress seems slow. Hopefully it'll warm up soon so you can try to get in some walking (per doctors orders.)

Dude joined in Feb 2023. Made ONE post (we're looking at it!) and then wasn't heard from again after March 2023. I'm starting to think he wasn't serious about selling this AR...

Hoping the images they saw turn out to be nothing and you are fine. Prayers for good news in April.

The trip to Freddie's was a "granddaughter service charge" for running your errands. She just KNEW you would understand, ha! Kids. What are you going to do? Least she could have done was bring you back something. Milkshake? Some fries? Something... Good luck staying warm @ your chemotherapy appointment. T-shirt, sweatshirt, coat, and windbreaker might give you enough layers. A stocking cap for your head would help, too. Hoping it all pays off in the end and you beat your cancer.
