Jaeger,
I wish you strength and peace in your heart. We lost our dad to that terrible disease. I wish I could tell you more, but that is a path you'll have to find your own way along.
Try not to lose your sense of humor. When things get to be too much and you are being pressed from all sides, step back for a few minutes and have a cup of coffee. The Man upstairs will never give you more than you can handle.
Be a good loving son.

Take care. I always get a faithful native guide when I'm out of area. If you're from there everything should be fine.
God Bless and God's speed,

Good luck Das. I'll miss your posts. Hopefully we'll hear from you from time to time via that laptop......that is if you're able to swing it.
I lost my Dad to Parkinson's a few months ago, so I guess I can sense a little of what you may be feeling. It's a rough road you're about to travel, but, just trust God.......He will strengthen you and you'll be fine. So go ahead and do what you have to do to take care of your Dad and cherish every minute you have left with him.
You'll be in my prayers
And don't forget to keep your powder dry.

Das Jaeger sorry to hear about your father. I can empathize with you as my mother has Parkinson's and my step-father is showing early signs of Alzheimer's. You just have to take each day as it comes and get through it the best you know how. I wish the best for you.

maybe someday science and Medicine will figure out a better way to treat both of those nasty Deseases . Like the Ruger OA , Parkinsons treatment has come a long way from the old Treatments , just like the Ruger came a long way for Cap and Ball revolvers . I hear Micheal Fox is doing good for many years with the newest treatments for Parkinsons , so maybe someday they can figure out a thing for ALZ too . Sounds like WERE BOTH going to be going through hell eventually . Were not alone , that's good .
Thanks, Jaeger

The Lost is Found...
ClemBert fired me back an email... he's just been busy with life... all's well on his end.
And... he says he finally got his wedgie cleared

Rumors of my abandonment of the Holly Black...
...have been greatly exaggerated. Actually, I went out shooting the Pietta 1851 last Monday. Here is my post shooting report I filed elsewhere.
I thought I'd give an update on that rascally wedge from hell. I was able to get to ClemBert's shootin' range today to shoot the ever livin' crap out of the Pietta 1851 Navy. I went with 25 grains of 777 without a wad to loosen that puppy up. When I got home I took both of my brass punches and proceeded to bend them both....big surprise huh? Now they both look like the one on the right.
Now it was time to break out the wedge destructo tool...a big STEEL punch. With a big ol' framing hammer I hit that sucker once...no movement. I reset the punch then took another big swing and to my delight that wedge popped free. Hallelujah!!!
Got that puppy cleaned up in a hot soapy bath and baked her dry. I changed out the factory nipples with some Treso bronze nipples. Anti-seize grease on both the nipple threads and the wedge from hell. Fortunately the wedge didn't suffer too much damage from the steel punch. There's just a round dent in it where the punch made contact but not too noticeable.
The saga started here: I hate the Pietta gorilla

ClemBert thanks that made for some great reading.
BTW its also the reason I haven't shot my 1851 from them, brand new and I can't get the wedge out to clean it before I shoot it
