Assorted Calibers Podcast Ep 268: Kneel Before Dodd

  

In This Episode

Erin had a rough day and called for backup, so she is joined by Weer'd, David and Oddball in a hybrid episode where we all discuss:

  • Hunter Biden's indictment and its implications for the Second Amendment;
  • Firearm prohibitionist Senator Robert Menendez's indictment on bribery charges and ties to illegal arms deals;
  • Whether or not the gun violence problem of 2022 was really as bad as it was reported;
  • CCW holders in California have committed almost zero crime;
  • The court rulings in favor of the Second Amendment in California's magazine ban and New Jersey's extreme requirements for concealed carry;
  • and President Biden's creation of an "Office of Gun Violence Prevention" filled with gun prohibition lobbyists.
  • Next, David's segment is a report on the New York Background Check System as well as some surrounding laws;
  • and finally, Heinrich from Geeks Gadgets and Guns gives us a primer on chronographs.

That Was the Week That Was

Any time you start a conversation with "So first of all, [person] is is okay," you know the story is going to be interesting...

So first of all, mom is is okay. She's home now, and everything seems to be fine in the short term. That said, here's how my week has been. 

Early Monday morning -- around 8 am, I think -- mom was out in the yard doing yard work and pruning hedges. She'd been working maybe 15 minutes when she felt a terrible pain in her chest, like something very heavy was crushing her. She sat down for a few minutes to see if the pain let up.  It didn't, and she was getting light headed, so she knew she had to get inside. Fortunately it was only 10 feet or so to the door, so she made it in, but she couldn't make it to the phone and had to lie down just inside the front door. After lying there a few minutes, she involuntarily soiled herself with urine and feces (I'm not saying this to be crass, it's relevant to the story later) due to the pain. If she wasn't going to call 911 before that, it certainly changed her mind. 

HOWEVER, my mother is a Proper Southern Lady, and it Just Wouldn't Do for the EMTs to see her in such a state, and besides, she didn't want to be a burden to them by smelling of feces and being soiled, so she went to the bathroom, cleaned herself up and changed her clothes, and then called 911. Then she waited outside for them so that our dog, Precious, wouldn't attack them in an attempt to protect mom/ward off the intruders. 

Now you may well be wondering "Where was Erin during all of this? Why didn't she help?" Well, that's an excellent and fair question. The answer is "She didn't want to bother me while I was sleeping, for exactly the same reason that she didn't want the EMTs to deal with her being soiled."

Yes. I facepalmed at that, too. 

So when I got up Monday morning at my usual time (about 10 am), I noticed a Post-It note on the bathroom door with the terse message "GONE TO ER" on it. I checked to see if her car was still here, and it was, so that told me she'd gone via ambulance and that meant it was serious. 

Now, one of the things you need to know about me is that it takes my brain time to wake up. I can do basic "move around" things, but actually thinking, especially making decisions, is something that takes at least 30 minutes and at least one cup of coffee. So as I drank my coffee -- because what else was I going to do? She'd taken an ambulance, she was in good hands, there was nothing I could do at that moment anyway so I might as well get my brain online -- I pondered what to do next. 

I contemplated calling the ER, but I didn't know when she'd left. It might have been 5 minutes before I'd woken up, and she might not have arrived yet. I could have jumped into the car and driven there, but sure as I'd done that she or the ER would call the house and I wouldn't be there to answer the phone. I'd come to the decision that I'd wait to hear more, either from mom or the hospital, when my cell phone rang. It was someone from the ER who told me that my mother was in "the cath lab" and would be admitted to the ICU after the procedure was done. 

My decision made, I got dressed and was almost out the door when the phone rang again, and this time it was an ICU nurse telling me that mom's procedure was successful and telling me her room number. It was at this time that I finally had the presence of mind to ask just what the hell was going on. I was told that mom suffered what's called a STEMI, which stands for ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction. I'll let you look up what "ST Elevation" means, but "Myocardial Infarction" is fancy doctor-speak for what you and I would call a heart attack. 

Apparently mom had 99% blockage in some very important artery whose name I can't recall but I think had a three-letter acronym, and a 50% blockage in another. They put a stent into the 99% blocked artery in "the cath lab" and the procedure went well, and she was recovering in the ICU. I went to see her and she looked beat up but about as good as someone in Intensive Care recovering from a heart attack and an operation could look. She was sore, but coherent and in generally good spirits, so I kept her company and asked the nurses lots of questions and contacted my sister so she could call mom. Later in the week I sneaked mom a Sausalito cookie from Pepperidge Farms -- for "morale purposes", you understand, because she was on a low-everything diet and hospital food isn't very good -- and she came home on Wednesday. 

So like I said, she's fine now. Despite her little stunt of not calling 911 until after she'd cleaned herself up -- oh, and we had A TALK ABOUT THAT, let me tell you! I told her the next time something like this happens, she is to call 911 before she does anything else because she could have collapsed in the bathroom and died! And she is to WAKE ME UP! -- despite all this, she seems to have gotten to the ER within the "golden hour" and is recovering well. She has a follow-up appointment with her cardiologist on Monday and we will discuss how this happened, because the last time she'd seen the cardio was earlier in the year and none of this was detected. 

The pet theory we have is that this has been caused by all the stress we've been under this year. For those folks who haven't been keeping track, and I confess I haven't written about a lot of it on this blog, but here's the highlights:
  • Water leak in master suite which caused damage and mold
  • Furniture was removed from master suite, all carpets and a lot of drywall removed
  • That was in February, it's now October and our insurance company STILL won't pay to make those rooms livable, and we're tripping over the furniture that was moved out
  • My father died in June, the day before my mom's birthday
  • We had to put our other dog Daisy to sleep because her congestive heart failure got to the point where she was struggling to breathe and couldn't sleep
  • All sorts of minor crap involving bills and funeral arrangements and the assorted aches and pains of getting older
So yeah, if mom's heart attack is partly the result of our insurance playing fuck-fuck games with us for 9 months, I'm gonna get a lawyer and sue the ever-loving SHIT out of them. 

That was my week, and I'm only now recovered enough to recount it. I swear to God, this year is the worst I've had this century, and if things don't let up soon I will likely end up in the hospital, the jail or the morgue. 

Before you ask if you can help: you can't, unless you have a magic wand or a million dollars or a Florida-licensed lawyer who's willing to work either pro bono or for a chunk of the settlement. 

Now I'm gonna post Monday's podcast episode on social media because all that went out the window when I went to the ICU and I'm only now getting back on schedule. I missed the Patreon deadline for it for September, but oh well. 

And goodnight, America, wherever you are...

Sacred Cow Shipyards

Operation Blazing Sword sponsored this episode of Sacred Cow Shipyards, and we received a very nice shout-out and referral at the beginning of the video.


I wasn't able to get in on the CIWS video in time to sponsor it, but missiles & torpedoes are just different kinds of chemically propelled projectiles, so it's close enough for my purposes. 

Anyway, go check out SCS's channel if you haven't already done so.

Handgun Radio 393: The Thompson Submachine Gun with Tex!

There's no episode of Assorted Calibers Podcast today. Weer'd went on vacation and I was too beat up from the events of the past month to wrangle an episode without him. However, I do have something for you that involves me, albeit peripherally. 

I am a Big McLargeHuge fan of Tex of the Black Pants Legion. If you don't know who he is, well, you're in for a treat, because the man is a brilliant filmmaker (he made a PhD thesis-level film which actually corrected the historical record about Dr. William Whitney Christmas) and he has a voice which can turn gay women straight and make straight men swoon. 

He's also a gun owner and a fan of revolvers, so I figured he would be a natural fit for Handgun Radio. I asked him via his Patreon if he would be willing to appear on HGR and he said yes! But instead of talking about revolvers, Weer'd asked him to talk about his Thompson SMG. 

What happened next was nothing short of astonishing: Tex held court and kept us all enthralled, and even Weer'd Beard was dumbstruck! 

I stayed out of the way because I was there to hear Tex unedited and uncensored, but I made a few good points in the episode. 

So go to Handgun Radio and listen to episode 393!

Status Update 2

This is the first time in nearly a month that I've felt up to writing anything at all. I haven't even felt up to posting the latest podcast episode, which is pretty easy.

I'm not yet ready to go into detail why, but the short version is that on August 4 I had to put my beloved dog Daisy to sleep. I cry every time I think about her, which is daily, so I've been crying at least once a day for three weeks and all that emotion takes a toll on me. I'm crying right now just typing this. 

Anyway, we got through my dad's funeral without any drama. It was a nice service, tastefully done. I think he would have liked it. 

The house is still a mess because the insurance adjuster is having to fight the insurance company tooth and nail to get them to pay out. For those keeping track, we had the mold (and the carpets, and a significant portion of drywall) removed back in February.

We've had to get a new dishwasher because the old one just stopped cleaning the dishes and instead baked food particles onto them, I've had to repair the wonky French-style refrigerator door yet again-- and each time I do it I wonder if today will be the day that I can't fix it / break it worse -- and today I noticed corrosion on the hot water heater. 

I would really like the world to stop beating me down.

  • A new study showing that children who are taught firearm safety are, in fact, safer around guns!
  • A federal judge upholding San Jose's gun owner tax and mandatory insurance law.
  • Ontario Knife Company shutting down their New York factory after a buy-out.

Status Update

People have been asking me how I'm doing, and I appreciate that they care. Thank you.  ❤  Because I don't want to keep replying to the same question, however, I am making this post. 

My father died last week. He was 87 years old. I don't know yet what he died from (we are still waiting on the death certificate, because apparently the coroner can't be bothered to sign it), but from all reports his death seems to have been from natural causes. He was frequently sick in the VA home, and I believe his most recent illness was some kind of pneumonia. He also had a suite of problems stemming from his diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease, which was caused by Agent Orange exposure during his service in Vietnam and which resulted in him being declared 100% disabled as far back as 2019 or 2020, I don't quite recall. I do know that he passed quickly, as the VA gave us no warning along the lines of "He's dying, come say your goodbyes now" and they had always been very good about letting us know his medical condition (at least once before they were pretty sure he was dying and we received such a message). 

How am I doing? I'm tired and stressed, because in addition to this there's a lot of other things going on at home, with stuff breaking on a regular basis and the insurance company dragging its feet on paying out our mold claim for 6.5 months now. It's fortunate that my father handled his funeral preparations years ago, before the dementia set it, because that saves us about 95% of the work... however, that 5% is still a fair bit and it's almost all aggravating paperwork (such as notifying insurance of his death, which requires a death certificate, WHICH WE STILL DON'T HAVE AFTER A WEEK) or the logistical fandango of scheduling a memorial service and funeral so that family members who live in two different time zones can attend. 

How am I feeling? At the risk of being labeled callous, I don't feel any different. I mourned my father a long time ago; due to various factors, including dementia, the moment he left home and went to the VA he basically forgot I existed. (For example, he didn't even acknowledge me on Christmas or my birthday.) I took my mother to the VA on Sunday and we cleaned out his room, and I thought that maybe it would hit me emotionally that "my father is gone and I'll never see him again" but it never did.  

People are asking how they can help, and the sad truth is that unless you can give my mother $250,000 so that she won't have to worry about financial stability for the rest of her life (she's 84) there's really nothing you can do. We treasure all the prayers and well-wishes you offer, of course, and I don't want to discourage that, but in terms of things you can do to improve the situation there aren't any. 

The funeral is set for mid-August, and hopefully we won't have a hurricane during that time. I will not be posting my father's obituary or other details online; this is to protect my mother's privacy from anti-gun and/or anti-queer zealots who would use the details to dox and harass her because she's related to me. If you wish to do something, then in lieu of flowers or cards I ask that you donate to the charity of your choice and let me know (via comment or email) to whom you donated. If you are looking for suggestions, then any charity which fights Parkinson's or helps veterans is appropriate, but again any charity will do. 

Thank you all for your love, care and concern.

Something's Got to Give

So, about that last post. Apparently God decided I wasn't getting enough of a challenge. 

I am at my limit. I cannot take any more. 

Effective immediately, I am stepping down from everything that does not bring me joy, because if I don't the next bit of stress will send me to the hospital or the morgue. That includes this blog and Blue Collar Prepping. Whether or not the podcast brings me joy right now is iffy; I'm sick to death of doom and gloom topics. I will hopefully have a better answer by Monday. 

I wish to point out that I don't know if this hiatus is temporary or permanent. Treat it as temporary for now; if I need to make this permanent I will give you an official notice rather than just leaving things hanging. 

Please do not ask questions. If I want you to know, I will tell you. Thank you all for your care and concern. 

I Am Still Alive

... that's really all I can say I've accomplished lately. I'm eating a solid meal of stress daily, the insurance company is still playing fuck-fuck games with us because they don't want to pay to repair the rooms that they paid to tear up, and it seems like everyone is trying to take advantage of my mother because she's in her 80s and her husband is in a home and I guess they think that means she's vulnerable? Oh and it's summer in Florida, so that means afternoon storms, and that means near-daily sinus headaches, some of which can render me nonfunctional for hours. 

So yeah. I'm not dead yet, despite the universe's best efforts, and I've been eating and sleeping and bathing and wearing clothes and doing necessary stuff around the house, and that pretty much uses up all of my spare time and energy these days, which is why I'm tossing out this blog post at nearly 3 am. 

I would really like it if God would please stop testing me, because I don't know how much strength I have left.
