I am Back

 It has been some time since I last posted and lots of stuff has happened. 

1/26/18 - I fractured my right femur with my right tibia. This I did at work, I was standing on one of two electric transformer box and turned to my right and stepped off into a 1 foot space between the two and my leg went down and the upper torso kept going and my weight fractured the femur at the top of the bone, I was by my self in a room in the basement and Ben Milam ES. Off work for 12 weeks, couldn't walk for 5 weeks, I was more or less confined to my recliner with a cooler of sandwich fixins and Diet Dr. Peppers. but i did survive.

10/8/18 We went to Crockett to do some bowhunting, we got down there and i step out of truck into a hole and jarred the healed leg to where i had a limp and needed a cane so I didn't hunt and just hung out at camp.  

3/1/19 Covid hit and pretty much put the year on hold.

11/1/20 caught covid and that pretty much sucked and i got off my Whitesboro deer lease

9/1/21 had left knee issues and covid breathing issues os i did not hunt

Last time bow hunting at Crockett

 It has been such a long time since I have been on. 2020  has been the the worst year, but I am sure most folks know that. I skipped hunting in 2019, we went down to Crockett to hunt and got down there stepped in a hole and twisted my knee so I decided that I could wait and still camp and share the fellowship and great food.

2018-2019 Crockett archery hunt

Here we are hunting in DCNF in October the weekend before gun season. We brought  down Randy, a coworker of Morgan's who has never been hunting before.
It has been raining down here so much that there is standing water where none should be, this is youth weekend and i have not heard one gunshot all day nor have i seen any trucks with kids in them.
Joe, Dale, Randy, Morgan and myself are here at this camp. Great food, fellowship and times.

Broke leg

I broke my leg on 1.25.18 at work. The doctor on 2.9.18 told me that i couldn't any weight on the leg for 8 weeks. I have looked online and 8 to 10 weeks of downtime is normal for the kinda break that i have if surgery is not required, which thank goodness, it is not.
I was diagnosed with a displaced bicondylar fracture of right tibia.
