Thank you for the pictures,
some good technical discussions on guns and the technical discussion on drilling a hole in 100yr old wood (I found I had done it wrong when I was a kid) all gave me something fun to read and look at while I was in the hospital. Last Saturday night I was watching TV and drinking a cup of coffee, when I got a terrible pain in my chest, the worst pain I’ve ever had. My wife threw me in the car and headed towards the hospital in around an hour we got to the VA hospitals a little over 100 miles away. From there they airlifted me another 100 + miles to Arizona Hart hospital. Were they did an emergency surgery to fix a shredded thoracic aorta. They released me from the hospital yesterday and all is good. I still have another aneurysm below this one they will need to watch and repair when it gets a little larger. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
