I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

Prayers go out to you
I know what you are going through I went through this with my Father

Bruce, I hope your recovery is going well. You have been a fountain of information and shown yourself to be a fine man.
Catshooter is 100% correct about the only things in life that truly matter, are our family and friends.
Prayer's going up.

Bruce--You changed the way I cast bullets and I have learned much and enjoyed your many posts. I hope your surgery goes well so you can get back to your shooting and casting.

Damn hope you well. I have minor surgeries here and there but nothing major to keep me out. 2 weeks of bed rest was enough to drive me mad
Bruce,
You have taught me a lot about casting and a lot about being a gentleman through your posts. I will be praying for you and all concerned.
A friend you have never met.

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
Thomas Paine
Prayers on this end also.
Praying for you in your trials. Your stated plan of adapting to your situation as best as possible is a wise one. God Bless you and your family.
Would like to add my thoughts and prayers. Hope you get back on your feet and in your shop soon. Reading and writing about cast boolits is fun but not nearly as much fun as puttering around the shop and making a nice pile of shiny boolits.

Prayers go out to you Sir, I hope your recovery is swift and sound.
Your a good man and I/we miss your insight and what you offer us all.

You've been in my thoughts this morning Bruce. Hope all goes (went) smoothly.

I've been thinking about you today. By now your surgery is probably over and your on a good road to recovery. I think I speak for us all when I say we're praying for you and hope you get back up to speed real quick.

Like 2HighSpeed, my thoughts were on Bruce and his condition today. I'm hoping for a successful outcome, rapid recovery, and a full return to hobby activities ASAP.

Many thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.
We left for Elko at 0300 Monday morning, and I was on the operating table at 0800.
My Doctor seems quite content with the results, and I actually got a look at the site Tuesday a.m.
My remaining foot (once a size-twelve) now measures 8.4" long with the removal of the gangrenous toes. The job is neatly done, so I hope it will heal correctly in the next few weeks.
Fortunately, right now I can use the heel for occasional load-bearing tasks even though it's painful. Getting into or out of the wheelchair and similar evolutions are much easier with one so-so foot.
I'll see the Doctor again next week in Elko for routine checks.
This stuff is no fun.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Bruce.
Sure sorry you had to endure such a procedure, but glad it all went as planned. Be sure and follow all the protocols to optimize your healing.
Looking forward to seeing pics of you in your loading room or better yet, at the range.
