The fat olde elf is very grateful to be #21 !! As some of you know starting on October 17 2017 I had a blowout in my upper aorta. A great surgeon patched that up with Gortex. 3 days later I had a stroke. Cardio intensive care unit is a good place to have a stroke. 4 days later they called my wife at 9:30 PM to tell her that they had lost me for over 5 minutes, no pulse...They got me back to life, somebody up there likes me, I spent a total of 30 days in cardio intensive care and 14 days in rehab where they taught me how to stand up from sitting in a chair, how to walk, how to swallow and how to pee in a urinal. I went home on November 30 and the visiting nurse came by for a while.dang keep up the fight and god bless you
I started driving mid-December but I am still on restrictions for lifting. I have started my mill every week and am shopping for a tractor with an FEL.Last week I completed a long stint in Cardio Rehab,more pretty nurses. I recently saw a summary of charges for $488,000 on my case. Thank God for medicare and supplemental coverage by the NC Department of Corrections. Bonnie and I celebrated 57 years of married bliss in January She was with me for all 44 days in the hospital. I turn 81 on June 22. Can't wait to start making sawdust soon. Hope to see all of you at the Pig Roast. Paul E. Randolph

The Deer was probably alright; I hit one of these Northern Michigan deer last year, and I saw her run across the field and give a "High- Two" to another Doe!This wasn't one of dem tuff YOOPER deer, it was one of dem south of da bridge ones. It was a bit more totalled than my car. ;)
and yes i always travel with bread
Getting old is a bitch.
Countryside Campground is about 3 miles from the pig roast and is a nice place. We'll be staying there again this year.
Does anyone have suggestions on a good R.V. park with electric hookups (50amp), plenty of shade, and maybe a place for Jesse to do some fishing?
Hey we just pick up 2 large tubs of Blueberry Waffle Cone Ice Cream. For all the people in the know... It is the best ice cream around. 8)Can I get this on AMAZON? ;D
Can we get a new poston on Amazon??Yes you can. ;D
Dont you fib to us pigman! You was just holding off until you were sure @doctorb (http://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=10176) wasn't coming. :DNo Jeff, I was waiting to see if doctorb was going to be there fishing on Thursday. If he was, then I was coming on Thursday to help him eat his catch.
Well......the count has to go back down to 79. The wife and I can not make it due to a HUGE financial offer that was dumped into our laps last Saturday night while we were attending my 48th class reunion. We just can't pass this up and can not afford to be out of town.Brue, It sounds like an Amway demonstration is happening at your house next week. ;D
Will tell you guys all about it when it "closes."
Yes, we know if it's too good to pass up.......and yes we are taking steps to protect ourselves.

Paying it forward. My old onan being towed off to go to its new home by @jb616 (http://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=37766) and Chet. Now I can quit tripping over it!I feel I got one of the best prizes! Everything else is a bonus! Awesome group of people (family) from all walks of life and all areas of this country and our neighbors to the North. I made new friends and put faces to usernames.
