Welcome from GA! If you ever travel up this give us a shout! As for your wallet, IDK what to tell ya lol. Rifles in the rack are more valuable than gold.....

I'm afraid the Doctor and I rained on this parade today. There's been no growth or healing in the larger C2 fracture, so absolutely no shooting or strenuous activity at all. The good knews is nothing's shifted or moving around so it's "stable". All jokes aside, we had to lay down the law so to speak. I'm sure he'll chime in on his lunch break. I want another lever action though! I think we definitely need to find one lol.

@WestGaDad bwahaha I knew you wouldn't let that go!! Don't be mad babe, I'll get some meat on the table lol. I'm up BTW, see ya shortly. @98Z5V Oh I got him this season!!! I was just spying a buck at the new place this evening. Seems they like the horses sweet corn lol. If he behaves maybe I'll let him get us some squirrels.... Bwahaha!!!

Welcome from GA! Like minded souls here. One of our Harley's was recently destroyed, but hey, we got a spare lol. Glad to see another parent getting the young ones trained right!

So excuse the lack of makeup lol, I was working around the property all morning, but check out my awesome sign.

So guess who climbed his crippled self up on the tractor today?!? And oh yeah, his tractors super sexy! LOLOL.

Welcome from GA!

@98Z5V his great uncle flew in the Mighty 8th on a B-17. They went down on their trip home from England and he died from exposure in the water. He's built a model of the B-17 and replicated the numbers and such. Now he wants to replicate the unit numbers on the tractor since they did use a variation of this one to pull the planes around the fields with. Says it won't be "proper" because it's not exactly like they used, but I think it'd be a cool tribute and conversation starter at a minimum.

Welcome from GA again lol. I love visiting Miss. with westgadad. Maybe we can all hook up next time we travel over.

@Cunuckgaucho Bwahahah, don't egg him on lol.

@Sisco He's back on the clock now, just had dinner/lunch with him. It's a 2N I know for sure, but can't remember if he said 43 or 44. I know it's WWII era at least lol.

@98Z5V I'm positive that's exactly where he got it from lol. I guess I always hear it from him so I place it on him, but your exactly right now that I dig into my memory.

@Cunuckgaucho That's too cool! Never knew about the Mapleseed. Thank you.

@RedRiverII Thank you! The power of prayer is very real. We both credit prayer for his recovery and strength.

@98Z5V we were actually talking about that while we were waiting at the neurologist a couple weeks ago. I meant to look and see if there were any update threads on it, but I guess I forgot lol. One of our church friends just got a 6.5 bolt gun and westgadad was telling him about how y'all get together and shoot. On a kinda cute note, he obviously can't handle (don't over read that babe) any real recoil right now, but he and our daughter have been wearing out the .22s and sharing the tripod mount since he can't "turkey neck" as he calls it. IDK why that popped into my head, but it's heartwarming from my perspective.

@98Z5V lol, geez I've missed this. I'm gonna go pick him up from work in about a hour. He's gonna enjoy this!

@Sharpshooter Wow, glad she's ok! He's had other accidents before, and always said the big one was still waiting for him, I believe this qualifies as his big one. He's a tough dude, refused pain meds from the first moments all the way to now. Still working, although left handed for a change, and has not truly slowed down much. I'm riding him hard about the limits the Dr's set, but he's hard headed. Again, I'm glad y'all have come out the other side, and thank you for the well wishes!

@98Z5V here's the sporty tank. Finally figured it out lol. This one still lives though. The Softail is completely destroyed. The only salvageable parts on it are the swingarm and rear wheel stuff. Hit so hard it cracked the engine cases. He was going 55-60ish in a 55 zone just pacing with traffic. The other car had no lights after dark and says his light blended into the traffic behind him.

@98Z5V IDK, he swears it was worth it just for the sponge baths!! LOLOL. He'll probably always have a slight limp in his left leg, but otherwise this will all heal up. I keep telling him I know everywhere that hurts, so don't piss me off or I'll poke him! Lol.

@98Z5V post away! I think they were in a thread he started about it at one point. IDK how to cross reference threads though lol.

@98Z5V lololol. Actually it was the Softail! He swears it wouldn't have happened on the "don't die" Sportster lol. Says it's too sketchy and he wouldn't have been have been as "comfortable" with it. He probably won't be able to reply cause of his thumb and he can't bend his neck to see a keyboard. However, in typical fashion, he's already looking for a cheap set of dirt tires for the Sportster so he can ride around the property on it lol.

@Cunuckgaucho You got that right! God and only God kept him alive. We're just very thankful.

@Matt.Cross Will do! And thank you! He's pretty tough.

@unforgiven Thank you. He's pretty stubborn. Literally only missed 5 days of work with a broke NECK!!

Well it's been a while lol. Figured I'd drop in and say hey! The last time I posted we were curious about horses and shooting nearby. Well we did indeed get the property, however we've decided to leave the shooting for Deer camp and my mother's property. We've met our neighbors, super nice older couple, and they're not very hip on having a range next door lol. They're awesome otherwise so we figure it's better to maintain the peace and quiet then upset them. Three days before signing, westgadad had a car pull out in front of him on the bike. He tried to react, but the collision was unavoidable. He went over the car approx 25-30yds and landed head first on the blacktop. C2 is fractured twice. Left shin fractured at the ligament joining area. Right thumb is semi displaced and sprained so bad it can't reset until the soft tissue contracts some more. Roadrash is mostly healed. He was/is extremely blessed to have survived period, even more so with no paralysis. It's been a literal nightmare, but we're both so so so thankful that it's not worse. Anyway, I was just meeting him on his lunch break and he asked if I'd checked in recently. I figured I'd drop a line since we were thinking of y'all. Hope everyone has been well!
