And dropped off holsters to Jeff Quinn at Gun site. Where I met Bart Skelton and several gun writers that know of my work. As well as a few Gunsite instructors that I have taken classes from...Like old home week. Doctor told me I have shingles...makes me feel a better in that I can but a reason to feeling so run down lately...

I turned 60 this last summer, I think I will get the shot.

Definitely get the shot. I used to make it when

I worked at Merck, and know a lot about it. Definitely worth the protection for anyone over 50.

Hope you get better, Rob. Shingles ain't no fun.

Rob I hope you get all healed up...

and feeling better soon. It sucks when the 'buildup of (in)tolerances' catches up with us for awhile. I cam sure sympathize.

Have suffered

I keep putting off getting the shot, but when a young fellow like you gets it, I'm thinking I'd better do it. Get well soon, Rob!

Sounds like another awesome experience...

With some great people. No, not the shingles part. I had a case of shingles in my sciatic nerve on the right side when I was 46 years old, so can understand your discomfort. That nerve has never been right since and makes wearing a strong side holster a literal pain in the a**. Have thought about getting the vaccine, but need to learn more about it's effectiveness and potential side-effects first.

I can't remember the first CSA I met Ed at. However, once you meet the guy you go away being happy you did.

I spent less than an hour with Ed. He came out to my shop

by Rob Leahy ⌂ @, Prescott, Arizona, Sunday, December 07, 2014, 11:14 (3580 days ago) @ Murphy

But yes, yet another outstanding man from this group. I HOPE TO SEE HIM AND YOU ALL AT CSA. For me CSA is a slice of heaven.

Shingles

By all means get the shot. I had one fairly minor experience with shingles a few years back and do NOT want to have another one. I had no problems with the vaccine.

I was unaware there was a vaccine for Shingles...

From what my father in law suffers from it I may just get the shot myself.

Ed's a good man.
