reunited with old friends

Varmintmist

A little mixed feelings. I gave the Single Six to my father after he was robbed and he bought a 32S&W. I soon after sold him the Security Six real cheap and got my first 1911. He kept them in his safe for years, in the holsters.

He went into a nursing home last week. Hopefully for no longer than a month and a half. His safe is small and I suggested that that and some other things be kept at my house since no one will be there for a while and a smash and grab would take a lot in a hurry. He said do it, and take the revolvers.

At one time, I was nasty good with the Security Six. I might have to test drive her this week. Its been about 28 years since last I made her bark

Very nice, good to bring back some great memories and some great revolvers. Sounds like a fun range day coming up.

Hope you give them back to him soon, nice Rugers.

Varmintmist

They are not going back. He gave them back to me. Just hoping all the other stuff goes back soon.

Beautiful guns. Hope he is well soon.

CHIRO1989

Not the best way to add to the safe, but , it would definitely good to get them back.

Nice looking guns and bravo for taking care of dad.

Thanks for the :angel2:. He is 83 and took his horse up the driveway for the vet. Why?? I have no idea. I put 44 ton of modified in front of the barn and on the road to it and the vet has driven up there before. Anyway, he tossed a lead rope around the horses neck instead of putting the halter on. Everyone that has had horses has done it. On the way back to the barn, the horse saw grass that was better than the inside the fence grass and took the old man up a little bank. He went butt over teacups down on the drive to the barn and broke his shoulder real badly. He fell 3 times before surgery staying with his girlfriend. They had to do a ball joint replacement and pin and a few screws. Come to find out that his heart is stopping once in a while, which might have been a factor with his falling. He is unsteady because he cannot move his left arm and he is still on painkillers. So even though he is showing a lot of improvement, he is out of action for at least 6 weeks and needs 24 hour care. I cant do it so his best bet was a home/rehab center at least until the bone adheres to the rebar and he can button his pants.

Hope he hangs in there fer a good while yet :angel2::angel2:

Some nice revolvers with plenty of memories.

Your Dad sounds like quite a guy at 83! Best wishes for his speedy recovery.

Varmintmist

He's already getting irritated at the folks in the home,living like that really isnt his style. If he listens to the PA from the bone doc, he will be out in 6 or less. She wont cut him any slack either. She was my PA when I snapped my humerus and she knows what she is about.

I know it's probably not possible and if so a trick of my eyes or the camera, but that DA Ruger looks....stretched. Is this possible?

Varmintmist

Probably the camera and editing. I was finishing Rail Bender Scottish style ale #3

Two weeks in a rehab facility between surgeries on my shattered ankle was time well spent. Try to be sure he does all the PT he needs to- - - -it really makes a big difference in recovery time. When I went back to the orthopedic surgeon for a 6-month checkup using a cane instead of crutches, he was impressed! "You're WAY ahead of schedule" was his first comment!

I hope Dad is doing better. Sounds like my parents when they were his age. Please take my advice........don't EVER sell those guns. My dad was not a big gun guy after coming home from WWII. He did leave behind a S&W Mod 60 and an old Raven 25. You could NOT pry those away from me. They have blood in them........your family blood.
