Made major dent in the current on the ground leaves yesterday. Had 4 fires going at one time. Ya gotta understand I have a half acre of lawn surrounded by 2 1/2 acres of mature woods. Have nieces,nephews and great nieces in town for a death in the family. While the woman that passed is kinda remote from me, the family visiting is much closer. Vacation time banked for hunting and 30th Anniversary is pretty well shot ! The ouches come from 55yr old weird uncle Steve having a free-for-all in the leave pile with the not-so-little ones. Motrin is my best friend today. Now off to Chuckie Cheeses in Erie.
Ouch, Ouch, and More Ouches

Feeling better yet? Last winter it snowed here in Dallas. Not much but I was pulling my daughter in her sled. We were on the street and i slipped and landed on my arm. I'm tough enough i didn't break anything but it hurt for weeks. I saw her sled in the garage the other day and thought about getting rid of it. But it's still there and I'll probably fall again....

Good deeds are often punished. I was towing a little girl on her new sled because her father had to work Christmas day. We were crossing over a tall drift when I slipped, caught my foot in a crevasse and fell head downward on the side of the drift. It was hell pulling my self up to where I could get my foot out and free. It was obvious my leg was seriously broken. I started crawling toward the FSS to get some help when the little girl, all of three, ran around and stood in front of me and told me I promised to take her for a ride on her sled. So I did, I crawled the 150yds to the FSS dragging her on the sled.
Worse was when I finally got to the hospital the doctor had to leave his Christmas dinner to tend to me and he'd been told I broke my leg staggering around drunk. Some days you just can't win.
