I'm HOME!  I held off writing since I learned the last time I was in the hospital that writing messages while under heavy pain meds isn't very productive. I've now been off the pain meds for a couple days and am now relatively coherent, though it still took me half an hour to write this. ::)

The good news is that I now have a new aortic heart valve clicking away inside of me and I feel pretty good. The other good news is that this was not the result of heart disease but of a congenital heart valve problem. I wasn't sick and should have no long term effects.  I now realize that I had some significant symptoms that I didn't recognize as far back as last summer. If you have had any physical heartaches, twinges, pains, palpitations, heart flutter, irregular heart beat or mini chest cramps you might want to ask your doctor to schedule a echo cardiogram

I've recovered from the surgery, now just need to heal up.  I should back on the Appleseed trail by the end of January.

And no, I still haven't heard anything about my guns from Ruger.  :)

Ya know if you put that at the top it would have saved me a lot of reading.   ^:)^

Glad to hear you are at home.  I feel like a heal for not coming to the hospital to see ya.  Next time I promise.  See you at the IBC.

Captain Noah Cook a Revolutionary War Veteran was my great, great, great,...great grandfather. Noah Cook enlisted in the militia on April 21, 1775 at age 18 upon learning of the Battles of Lexington and Concord that morning. His company left on that day for Concord arriving April 24, 1775.*

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. (James Madison)

"Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to. They didn't mean we should."
(Captain Levi Preston, of the Danvers militia, at age 91, remembering the day)

That it is an indispensable duty which we owe to God, our country, ourselves and posterity, by all lawful ways and means in our power to maintain, defend and preserve those civil and religious rights and liberties, for which many of our fathers fought, bled and died, and to hand them down entire to future generations.  Suffolk Resolves, September 9, 1774, attributed to Dr. Joseph Warren
