    " A FIRST for ME "

    Knee is getting better from the surgery. Thanks to all who have pm'ed or who have called me through this time. I really appreciate it.
    I took the Etrac out for an hour a couple of days before the surgery man did it hurt so I called it quits after 10 hole dug. ( clad )

    ( 4 weeks later )

    I went out Sunday for a couple hours and everything felt fine..

    I hit a park that I have hunted many of times with many different machines.. I sure cleaned it out from all those years. Nothing found but some surface clad and 1 wheat penny about 3 inches deep.

    Took a ride up to an area where I have found some good silver in the past. Weeds were a little tall and the skeeters were biting
    and I didn't have any DEET with me. So I left after 15 minutes to go buy some spray..

    I was in the store and this was crawling on my neck......

    " A FIRST FOR ME "

    That's all it took....Home I went

    Glad to see you getting better Bob.
    The one thing to keep in mind is that you want to use leeches and not ticks to promote healing...

    Nasty little blood suckers. I've found a few hitching a ride on me this year (makes me re-think my woods hunting). They're worse than I've seen in years. Get that deet!

    Re: " A FIRST for ME "

    I think the increase in ticks is due to the increase of deer. There are simply too many deer and not enough predators. I hate ticks!

    I hope you make a full recovery soon, Bob. Either way, you've gotta make it to my T-Net cookout, whenever that happens. Thanks again for the lawnmower. I used it again yesterday, works like a charm. I even taught my little neice and nephew how to use it and reminded them to be here once a week to do it for me
