Last weekend my Mother-in-Law went to the Emergency room because she couldn't breath. She had blood clots in her lungs. She is out of the hospital and at an in-patient rehab center for a week or so. My dad had to have open heart surgery this afternoon, for a badly leaking valve. At the cath lab yesterday they also found 3 clogs that they took care of in the same surgery. He is out of surgery now and everything is OK. This has been very stressful for the whole family, but the big insult to my ego came last night (Thursday), as I was walking into my favorite LGS, a close friend of mine was picking up one of my "Grail Guns", a pre 27 in perfect condition with 100% engraving. This on top of the 6 Colt SSA's he has bought in the last six months. I am very grateful to have my family on the way back to good health. and I guess if it isn't me, at least my friends are getting some great guns. However, I would like to have the money and find a grail gun at the same time. Thank for letting me vent, and have a good time with your families. Ivan
 
Money for a colt saa a month for 6 months? Whats he do and where did I go wrong? Sorry for your familys health problems. Sounds like you must be still young and have a lot of years ahead to get even.
 
He didn't buy one a month. Some months zero, one month 3 (2 gen 1, 1 gen 2). What's he do? He's a talented engineer, that get lots done. He's worked hard and made good. Right now you get nothing from the bank (today the bank offered me 1.01% on 20 grand for min of 2 years), so he find other places to store his "Well gotten gain". 2 years ago his wife started buying high grade shotguns to shoot for fun (and to invest). They are very good people and good gun folks too. Ivan
