Hang in Sonny had a bad run in with pneumonia myself this year. Started with strep throat, then flu, then pneumonia, then septic shock and kidney failure. Blood pressure was 70 over 50 when I went in, doctor told me had had a 50/50 chance of making it, was rushed to ICU, spent a week in hospital. Thought it was just a flu didn't go in right away, don't ignore your health guys, if something feels very wrong it probably is.

Yikes Sonny: Two bouts since new years?

You take it easy man.

Better talking to you than about you.

Take Care.

My BP wasn't as low as yours,90 over 59 with a heart rate of 53..I was also rushed to the ICU at the U of A and almost didn't make the 4 hour ambulance ride.Or so I was told because I was incubated and don't remember a thing.Yup seven days in the hospital in January and another 4 days in the Fort Mac hospital last week for pneumonia again.
Went for the pneumonia shot this morning,hope it works and I'm going to repeat what you said..

You know I've heard about people like that and I've even seen them on TV but I never actually thought that I'd become one of them..

I'm a hoarder..

Stopped in to the C tire store in Edson this afternoon.They sell firearms which is cool because our little piddlely C tire store here in Hinton doesn't.

But...are you kidding me??

They had lots of Sellier &Bellot .303 British ammo for $39.99..really?

Pays to shop online..

Our CT here in Cold Lake has a huge gun counter only thing is their prices are pretty high. They have a new manager on the gun counter now that used to run a little shop here in town so it is being ran decent as well. Good shell counter, prices are relevant to the rest of the area.

A big shout out to Cabelas Edmonton on Currents drive.

I bought my big loop from these guys on Thursday.
Friday morning I noticed that there was no hammer spur (extention) in the box so I called them.
Buddy told me that they would mail me another spur right away.Well it arrived this morning via expedited post.

Thanks Cabelas for the very fast shipment..

Good to hear sonny, I have never had a problem with service at their store, just a bit of a knowledge problem, but if you kind of treat them like Canadian Tire and do your homework before you go in, you can usually get what you need. I started buying all my gun stuff in Barrhead, the guys treat me well and have pretty good knowledge. Can't beat Cabela's for camping and fishing gear though.

Yup you have to shop around and I could have bought the same rifle at Bass Pro for $20 less but it would have cost me $50 more in gas..
And like you said..Don't go there and ask them for advice...that's a no no..Know what you want and know about the product,google is your friend.
I shop at all the big box stores but then I also shop at our local shops and online.

I was just happy to get my hammer spur so fast..

Sonny:

I hope you take your lovely wife out for dinner.

And make sure it is not the L&W in either Hinton or Jasper.

Cheers.

Ha Ha:

You got me Sonny.

Anyone remember the little Italian granny who used to peel potatoes out of the back door of the old L&W in Jasper? Mid 70's onward. Almost right across the street from the liquor store.
