Haven't hardly had any chance to fly. Happy to report that Dad is doing much better! Got most of his strength back and doing a lot more on his own. After the next few days, life should return to somewhat normal and I will be able to get back to providing all of you with some target practice! Long term out look for Dad is rough, but the Docs seem to agree that he will be able to continue living his stubborn life pretty close to normal. Some treatments and things ahead that wll be some bumps, but I think the overly stubborn and proud old fart will be OK.
Thanks to all of you for your support and sharing experiences through the rough patch.
Cannot begin to tell you how much it means to me!

Glad to hear things are getting a bit better with papa Rip!
Speaking of dads...My Dad has been in Arizona for about 3 weeks now...him and Mom drove down in their truck and holiday trailer. He wanted to get his teeth fixed up and believe it or not, it's cheaper for Canadians that don't have a dental plan to go down there and have work performed on them and have a holiday at the same time than it is to have dental work done here!
I just hope he comes home soon...may have to get Foust and Moon to go on a search party for him...I'm looking after his dog for him and the dog's getting worried...
