Hi Norman![]()
NormanNutz or is it NutzNorman ? How's it going man ?
Morning everyone
Just had a firing pin angled tip, snap off, when I was filing it, snapped clean off, on the bend itself, must have been fractured from new, & it's finally given way
One of those things

No time to catchup since being here last but thought I'd best check-in before Kaypers gives me a tongue lashing (no, nut what you evil minded folks thinking). The main reason for my absence was Zippo's vet had given me some very bad news. Took him in on Monday for his 6 month checkup and because his gums were a bit pale in color the vet took a blood sample. His blood count was found to be way too low. So more blood tests were done and it was determined that Zippo's kidney seems to be failing. Been to the vet everyday since, having to administer fluids to Zippo intravenously. Zippo didn't take well to a new diet and after vomiting, refused to eat for a couple of days. Needless to say, I have been worried sick and been spending all my time with him. Praise God he has taken a little food today and feeling a little better. No telling how all of this will turn out but there is a chance Zippo may not live for very long. He needs to continue the iv on Monday and another blood test will be taken to see if there is any improvement. Will try and make short visits here as time permits.
Sorry for the late hellos Frank, Lisa and Darrel but Zippo got up and had to tend to him for a bit.
