sniper sighting

sniper · May 22, 2013, 01:40:27 PM

just wanted to pop in and sy hello to the gang. had a bit of action here in Missouri and it is kind of leveling out. got up here for the grand kids birthdays and traveled to get my new tone ring vcab then never made it back to Texas.

had a hosp stay in Jan that lasted over a month and ended up losing most of my kidney function. I am on dialysis three times a week now so traveling is sort of out. I am moving back to Missouri and a good friend (Dale) my Marine buddy, is going for my things soon. I have most of my equipment in Pecos. lost abot 55 pounds in weight and feel good. had a small surgery on my arm to make the veins pop ouot so I can get this catheter in my chest out. had it in since Jan.

on my travels I dropped off my black Bassman head to get new blonde Tolex applied and have my mid 60's 2-12 cab restored and RA Wood speaker cabs. should be done now, talked to Rick last week. I have been trying to read the BOP but not a lot of computer time with everything going on. hope I get on a transplant list so any extra good kharma would be appreciated.

be well all of you and the best to all of you.

love ya all,

your bro,

CW (Sniper)

Take care of yourself CW! Positive thought s for you!

Denis · May 22, 2013, 07:30:25 PM

So glad to read you are alive and kicking!

Where in Missouri are you? I'm a Missourian myself: from Columbia and spent much time in Versailles and Springfield.

Best wishes from Raleigh!

Get better, Bill.

Good vibes and positive thoughts headed your way~~~~~~~~~~

just wanted to say I am not house bound. yesterday I crawled (the operative word here) onto a flat bed trailer and was screwing around with the new to this household 1943 allis chalmers c model trying to fix a missing cylinder so I can get all 14 horse power out of it in order to use the brush hog hanging on the back.

went to a barn dance (didn't last long though) last Saturday and had a blast. I am trying to put together a small block Chevy stroker motor in order to get about 600 HP out of it for a new "c" altered drag race car.

not your average convalescent. so I am not letting myself rust. my inspiration is the 100 year old Carlos. if he can move I can run (lol).

I appreciate all the good thoughts gang although I probably will not post a lot, it does not mean I will not be trying to keep up with all of you.

Granny, good to see you are posting more in here dude, welcome back.

ciao for now.

Fellow Missourian here praying for rapid healing. I work in Columbia and live half-way between there and Jefferson City. I took delivery of an RA custom tone ring cab earlier this year:

Rick does excellent work. Makes my E130 sound fantabulous.

That's a fair amount of activity for anybody, let alone fitting it in between dialysis treatments. We are a resilient bunch here at the Outpost. Best of luck to you, CW, and all here who are carrying on despite their individual challenges.

Are you on a list for a transplant or is that too early to say?

sniper · May 23, 2013, 05:59:23 PM

I start testing to see if I can be put on a transplant list Uwe when I give the Dr the okay. I have to get my head wrapped around the whole transplant ordeal/idea first.

Thank you for asking old friend.

Lost a good percentage of my lung function while I was hospitalized. I actually went in with bronchitis and only then did I find out I had a severe UTI. The bronchitis went to pneumonia then pulmonary edema and I was on a respirator for 3 weeks. (shit!!!) I have no idea where the UTI came from as I have not been active for a few years now, thank you blessed E.D.

When God gives me my omnipotent powers, I am going to cosmic zap E.D. all to hell!

On a side note, the Allis did not get right with a distributer cap and points change. I might have to have it start a band with me. It keeps really good 3/4 time with the miss. Muff, muff, muff Boom! I think it could replace a drummer.
