Here's a couple of pix of Bura taken within the last month. I was shocked when I saw these. That stroke put about 15 years on him.
 
He definitely looks a lot thinner in the facial features.
 
Health problems put the age on. 3 or 4 major surgeries certainly put some miles on me. But nothing that a hundred thousand dollars worth of plastic surgery and liposuction can't fix -- along with $40,000 worth of dental implants and maybe a transplanted pig's heart thrown in for good measure.
 
Uncle...
for that kinda money we could get you a supermodel for a weekend or so... I dont know about yall but I think it would be a better investment. ;) ;)

:eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Glad he is still around. He still comes up with some very fine blades. My 12" AK is an exact miniature of the 15" AK that was the first order.

I may be wrong, but they probably have him on some kind of diet besides the medication. The diet may be keeping him thinned down.
 
I remember after my grandpa had his first stroke, had a similar change. The weight loss was extreme. By the time he died, he looked like a skeleton, but then that may just have come from dying as my dad was very skinny when he passed as well. :(

It is good to see that despite the stroke, Bura is still up and at it. I know after his second stroke, my grandpa ceased to be the person I grew up with, and was almost like a ghost for the next few years.
 
Stroke medication has come a long way. I remeber when people have the half paralysis on half there body and had to relearn to simple coordination.

Bura looks good in light of the passed events.
 
So I see that is the Khukuri maestro. Convey my warmest regards to the man! :)
