After a trek along the gopher trails with Abbey and the visit to the MD's I made my first attempt at a tiny riffle stock. While at the doctor's I scrounged a couple of tongue depressor hopeing to use them as raw material for the stock. Bad idea, I glued 2 together to get the thickness I needed and started carving with the dremel. My first problem was that I wasn't satisfied with the shape and later found that that the wood was too hard to take a stain properly. The stain also dissolved the carpenter's glue I had used. I guess the glue isn't made for such tiny projects.
Last night I shaved a couple of thin pieces from a 2X4 and will try to match a picture I found on the web of the Winchester lever action rifle that won the west. I'll never say " I can't do it". Just too stubborn I guess. I think my mother passed on some good things like my determination and never give up attitude as well as as the bad things like my susceptibilities to blood clotting and strokes.
The visit to the doctor's was a so-so thing. The MRI showed no new damage and the echo-gram didn't find the clot in the heart. The doctor said to stay on the rat poison anyway. He did say that the pumper is only pumping 50-60% of what it should and the probable cause of that is the dead meat the heart surgeon removed while doing the by-pass. I guess I'll always be a walking pile of human junk parts. There's not much to give if I decided to be an organ donor. lol So far only the kidneys seem to be functioning well.
I see my daughter's visits to my blog are showing up on my new visitor map. I wonder why the other map never showed them.

When you mentioned the low heart output because of your previous MI, did the doc put you on any med to help the old ticker do its job. I am afraid my mind fails me today as to the drug but we had patients on it that made the heart work more efficiently. They did very well on it as it helped improve pump function. Maybe next time you have your MRI and other scans, if all comes back looking good, they can take you off the warafin and put you on plavix for preventative med. WOuld be easier to maintain.
Anyway dear one, have a nice day. Temps are good here but its overcast...Mr Groundhog did not see his shadow in these parts...LOL
