So Richard (Geezer) has suffered a collapsed lung, that is being resolved. Going to be a delay until he can check out and get into rehab.

Holy crap. I know that feeling 2 accidents back. Fractured pelvis, fractured back (near metal), 3 broken ribs & my left lung was collapsed. I thought I was gonna die. I couldn't catch my breath. They had to Life Flight me to the Medical Center because they thought I had internal injuries & it turned out I didn't but the broken ribs & collapsed lung was very painful trying to breath. I had to use a walker for several weeks.
I hope they are giving him the best of care!

I swapped them out..
The Bengal really fills those scales alot better. Plus the looks and colors of the scales, go with the name of the blade.[emoji6] JMO

Nice work bro.

Well, I finally got my wedge material today so now I can continue to make my scales for my Wosty shorty! Got a full plate but I'll manage somehow.
