Oh, I'm resting somewhat comfortably after this latest surgery. Hopefully enough of the skin grafts will "take" and I can finally start physical therapy to learn to walk again with the orthotics. Meanwhile I get to watch the latest builds by guys like yourself and it motivates me to press on and get back into the swing of things.

"Holsters" are a late invention--except the ones over the front of saddles.  This is a target pistol going to a man out to Texas, should be kept in a pistol shooting box.....Tom
