it's ok...it was hijacked along time ago... i didnt see it coming either. next thing i know i have some maniac waving guns in my face demanding a ransom and everything..... no big deal guys...it is what it is! fermis, r.lee ermy just did a show (rerun...dont know) about black powder vs "normal powder"...seems like black powder is a hell of a lot more messier and less accurate...but as i said, i dont shoot them.

Knife point; pin; awl.  Whatever.  A 1/35th scale bullet hole is not going to be very big.

thanks mike...i got it!

~Hey look--->Hans is back!   What's up Hans?

Never went away, just didn't have anything to say for a few days... Got a much "nicer" dosage of Percocet & Oxycontin from m' Doc.. Some would say that it may have had something to do wth my perceived "disapearance"...

where ya been hans? sick? hurt?

~Hans ~ You are running within a diffferent time reference me thinks ~ What was just "a few days" for you has been a couple weeks!

 Don't stay gone---ok?

Hope the pain is killed though. Hang tuff, Sir !

Lol... Couple of weeks, eh?  Heh... Maybe the drugs are better than I thought, lol... 

where ya been hans? sick? hurt?

Well, guess you could say hurt...  I need a couple hip-joints replaced and that's why the heavy pain meds.. I've had what amounts to two broken hips for a couple years now.. (That's why I'm in the chair)  My surgeries keep getting pushed back for one reason or another, twice due to illness, once because the surgeon died...  As of right now, it looks like another year in the chair before I can get into the VA and get fixed... The meds are a big help, but I still have a helluva time since I live on the third floor (with no elevator) so I gotta crutch it up & down... 

hmmmm....doesnt sound like fun. i worked with a guy who just had his hip replaced...well, i guess since i've been out of work now for a year it's been about 18 months or so since he had it done. you'd never know by the end he was walking pretty darn good on that thing. what's the cause of yours hans...too much p.t. in the old days?

~Man! 3rd floor! Crutch it! Stairs! PAIN!!!! OMG, the pain comes across in those words , though I know I have no idea. Take the pills Colonel ! We need to get you the surgeries. It's amazing how good the medicene has gotten, on these surgeries   My Bosses sister just got a hip replaced and they had her walking(albeit stiffly) the very next day !!  They will have you up and kick'in as*   fast Hans.

 

I'm thinking of making a dio depicting the crater left by an atom bomb...

can you help me out with that one?

Oh man!  Hope you will have the surgery soon... two friends of mine underwent hip replacements surgeries and they are playing golf better than ever.  It is good to have you back... next time rent an apartment in the bunker instead of third floor. 

what's the cause of yours hans...too much p.t. in the old days?

It's all connected to injuries stemming from a helicopter crash, followed by too many years of ruck marches and rough PLFs, yeah...  It took 20 years, but the circulation eventually got so bad that the ball on the end of each thigh died, then caved in... About 6 months apart.  Both ball-joints look like a coconut with top smashed in...

It took me 2 years of fighting with the VA to get it acknowleged as service-connected and even then I only got the right one covered... They aren't gonna do the left one since I can still put my weight on it, even though it hurts like hell to do so... Tri-Care will cover about 60% of the left replacement though...  That is, if it just gets resurfaced rather than replaced. 

hmmmm....that's the v.a. for you. you can argue your point but all they're going to do is run you through the tape until your exhausted and give up!!! my brother in law works for them and if he had any special connections i'd send them your way bud. one i can see but both has to be intollerable...hope modeling at least takes the mind off of it...even if it's temporary! get better or whatever ya have to do. hopefully things will work out one way or another.
