Somewhere out on Lake Michigan while puking my guts up in a bucket, I developed AFIB. Now, my MD tells me that this is something I was already predisposed to, and that it’s not that i did anything to cause it, though it may have been triggered by the stress of 6 hours of wanting desperately to DIE.

Anyway, he’s put me on blood thinners and some kind of $400-a-month medication to get my ticker ticking. I hope it works. The alternative is to pe put under and then zapped. Actually, I would almost like to be zapped while awake but he said that’s not fun. I am the only member of my lineage never to have been struck by lighting.

The blackirish girl doing the EKG had a lovely accent, and I told her her job was like sex in the male mind. A lot of preparation, for 90 seconds of actual “Event”. Then the girl gets to clean up the mess while the man dresses and leaves. SHe laughed util she peed herself a little.

though I can still kick some ass with an 80 year old rifle. One of the guys allowed me to shoot his Buckmark with a little red dot sight and it was all of a sudden as if I could shoot! So I went out and bought a rail for my Ruger (one of the No Gunsmithing types) and got it installed, and bought a knockoff red dot, and a boresight.

The red dot and the boresight both needed collimating, so I did that first, but the dot seems to be steady and the constructionis ok, for a $30 sight. I will never be a good enough shot to require the full boat Trijicon; for the same reason I have a pair of cheap speakers. My eyes cannot justify the high end sight any more than my ears can justify the high end speakers. Anyway, I hope to get out this upcoming weekend and do some shootifying wiht the new sights to see if they make any difference. I don’t like that the sight is mounted so high, there will most certainly be parrallax issues, but worse things have happened than having to adjust for the individual matches.
