I'm finally going to make it out to the Tulsa show!

I look forward to whole experience, but am especially glad to be able to meet many of you in person, attend the banquet and, of course, talk Rugers and marvel at the displays.

Started packing today and hit a hurdle. Too much for my jeep but not enough to justify a trailer. Thankfully, my store manager has one of those hitch racks and problem solved. Also figured out that my battery/inverter idea for lighting is not feasible. Thankfully, it wasn't too late to get power through the show. Saves some worry and weight but $75.00 for three days is a bit steep for a few strips of LEDs!

Yep, all the shows are proud of their electricity! I know what you mean about packing, seems like I never have enough room and I pack in a 3/4 ton van!! See you there!!

Guys.....my mother in law may have had a heart attack. I just got the call. They are rushing her to the hospital here. My wife doesn't even know as she's taking a test right now without a phone. I'd appreciate it if you would keep my family in your prayers yet again. I have no idea how this will affect this weekend.

We sure hate to hear that bad news. We will be praying for her and your family. Hopefully it is not a heart attack.
Do what you have to do, family definitely comes first!
Sending you a PM.

As the saying goes, "Life is what happens while you're making other plans. . ."

Hope it turns out well and hope to see you in Tulsa.

Thank you all. It was a long day of hurry up and wait yesterday. I should know more today as they will be prepping her for a catheter this morning. The bottom line is that I still don't know what the day will bring. Her troponin levels were still climbing late last night which is worrisome. What they find after the cath and how today goes will determine what I decide to do about Tulsa. Best case, they find nothing and we're still coming, middle ground, I'm coming...possibly a little later than anticipated Friday but without Krystyn. Worst case I don't wanna think about. I'm heading out the door to keep on top of work and ease the burden on my employees Fri and Sat just in case. Will finish packing my personal effects and update you all this afternoon.

Kind Regards
