GAF Muster 2009 Report

[Delmonico]

Well I'm down-loaded, got some work to do, but since the snow came how about these from Friday night and Saturday morning:

[Bow View Haymaker]

I wish I could have been thier to see the snow.  I really enjoyed my time thier thurs and fri.  I was shocked that I could tie with M.T. Brass for anything.  (4th long range rifle ?)  I think he is ready to plan for next year.  I am sorry I had to rush out fri night but when I got word of my parrents accident I knew that's where I had to be.  I got ahead of the big snow and the drive wasn't bad.  Not near as much snow up north along the border (SD and NE).  Did the barraks stay arm enough?  I heard that Sruffy Skippy did pretty good in my place.  I am looking forward to Jerry's report and more pictures.  
I want to thank you all for your prayers and support,
 
Update 11:50 am Tuesday
Harold is in surgery right now getting a pacemaker so his heart won't try to stop again.  That is probably what caused the accident as he blacked out and went off the road and their car thought it could fly.  Since being in Sioux city Mercy Hospital he has been pretty stable and no more episodes with his heart.  He did have a slight fever so they held off until today to put the pacemaker in.  I think they will probably go in to repair his neck (c-2?) tomorrow.  He does NOT have any paralysis  (thank you God) but will need time to heal.  He is very painful from several broken ribs (again) which complicates his breathing some but he is managing well.  
Margaret will probably move from the Hospital to "swing bed" today or tomorrow.  She is at Sacred Heart in Yankton.  She has a broken right ankle but shouldn't need surgery on it as long as the bones don't move.  She also has a chip in her left wrist which make using a walker a bit of a challenge.
  She also has problem with her back but is managing with pain meds for now.  This will probably need repair when she is stronger.  
Thank you everyone for your prayers and good wishes,  Mom has already received a lot of visitor and she appreciates everyone so much.  
They both have a long recovery ahead and it's hard on them being in separate hospitals but the lord is watching over them both and we carry on.

I had a wonderful time at my first Muster.  Thanks to the Col for ordering up the snow for us Texicans.

The Pony Express family arrived home safely Monday evening, delayed a bit because of road construction in KC, and spending extra time in downtown KC searching for an asian food store we heard was there. Really enjoyed the match, even if it was a bit chilly. We arrived back home to 50 degree temps Mon evening! But phone was out again, so was not able to report in untill now(via laptop wireless, courtousey of Hardees)

It was a great time, and I will get my pics up one of these days soon.
I came home to Freeda not feeling well, and with the doctor visit today, she has the dreaded flu. Pooper Trooper is in fine spirits so far, other than a stuffy nose. Freeda is quarantined to the big screen tv upstairs away from us. I am now on Tamiflu....

It was good seeing everyone there, and finally getting to meet most of the faces that I see in pics here on CasCity.
I am already looking for an 1890s Russian uniform. Go figure....

Great report, Troopers:

I'm happy to hear that no one got a Line of Duty injury from self-induced frostbite.    heheheh
Delmonico contacted me today with a report of rounds fired, new records & of course, the mess report.
I want to thank him & all who supported this Muster.  There are too many to mention here for their hard work under adverse conditions.
That'd be 8" of snow in western Nebrasky??

We sure hope to shoot with you next year if possible with a "new" Mil-Spec rifle.  
  I have a Pard who is talking about selling his Krag.
I think a used Krag (in VG condition) should be a straight-across trade for a NIB DPMS A-15 shorty.    Doncha reckon?

Respectfully,
Mustang Gregg

PS:  Major Bow View, best of luck to your folks.  I sent you a PM.

We must remember to extend a big thanks to Lt Col. Mustang Gregg for his generous donations.  I hear the Double Eagles both went to good homes and the Sausage was great. 

I want more pictures everyone.

Congratulations to Col. Drydock on winning the Brigade Champion.  I'll be gunning for it in Tejas next year!
