I got a fever... the fever for more cowbuilds! Anyone else got a fever?

OK... bad pun / reference to the SNL skit with Christopher Walken.

I'm starting to get the itch. Fortunately, I've got several I can choose from... and have most of the internal parts.

Now, I just have to decide which one to start! Well... I can narrow it down to the ones I have a slide for.

I don't feel so bad now. I just finished inventory on uncompleted projects: 9- P80's, 1-Geisler, 3-AR10s, 2-AR9s, 12-AR15s, 4-1911s, and an SkS..
 
Welcome back @Viking2721 ! 🥳 Long time no see.
That inventory sounds... excessive... although I deliberately do not inventory my collection because it might sound... excessive. 🤭

Thanks brother. I have a lot of catching up to do. Ended up in a coma. Just starting to sort of get back to normal

Oh crap, I was wondering why you just stopped posting. I'm glad to hear that the only time you stop thinking about guns is when you are unconscious but that is a lousy way to find out! I have prayers for you to get back to normal. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Thanks. I'll take all the prayers I can get. After almost 2 weeks in a coma, the Dr's told my wife that they had done all they could, I was basically on life support and she should call friends and family to say good bye because I wasn't going to make it. She did in fact call, but instead of saying goodbye, they prayed. Shortly after they started to pray, I began to respond, and woke up. I was on 3 Vasopressors to keep the blood in the vitals, but at the expense of blood flowing to the hands and feet. My hands and feet turned black, like frost bite. They mentioned amputation. Once again my wife intervened and said no. Good news I'll keep my hands and feet. More good news is I now have time to work on all my unfinished projects, as everything heals.

Very glad to learn you recovered and have such a strong wife, family, and friends around you to intervene and invoke to power of prayer! What a traumatic experience, but a wonderful story to relate now that you're through it now. . .mostly!
🙏🙏 🙏

God is amazing
 
I vote #7 down from the top as the next build.
 
I wouldn't call it a "build" but more of an "assemblage". ;) Pieces en-route... Occasionally a deal is to be had at GB--I low bid and forgot about it. :) After parts and fees should be into a LW22 for less than $250. This will make up for the Shitmos boning I received.

Welcome back brother!!!
Shit!!! This reminds me to change my view on coma, I always told my wife to pull the plug if I'm in a coma 😱

Yes, truly, welcome back @Viking2721 ! That sounds like a below average experience. If there is one bright spot, your wife made it abundantly clear that you are worth fighting for!

Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing
and obtains favor from the LORD.

Thanks Moon. Apparently I was on a lot of Meds and somewhat delusional for the 1st few days. As I was coming out of it, I couldn't move or speak. I had told my wife that if I was ever in that state to pull the plug. I was stressing pretty hard for a bit. I was wondering if someone was going to unplug me, and I was unable to move or let them know I was ok!
