Life's funny, isn't it?
I'd just gotten bit by the MD bug after wifey gave me a Tesoro Compadre this past Christmas. Even in the snow I was out there trying to figure out the different beeps. I joined this terrific community here at TreasureNet, read through threads obsessively trying to learn as much as possible (and having fun posting in the "Random Picture Thread"), and finally recently managed to buy a pinpointer. I've found mostly inconsequential stuff (with the exception of one really nice silver ring) but had just a helluva lot of fun doing it.
And then I went and busted my arm. Gotta go in for elbow reconstruction surgery this Friday, after which I'll be immobilized for 6 - 8 weeks, with full recovery not expected for around a year after.
Sheesh.
Anyway, being relatively new here I'm sure a lot of you probably don't even know who I am. But if the few of you I've been priveleged to chat with were wondering where I went recently, that was it. And it's why starting Friday I'll probably be even more scarce, at least for the first few months.
Oh well. Chin up, and all that. At least I have a loving (and resigned, lol) wife to spoon feed me give me the odd sponge bath. Woo hoo!
No need to respond to this, btw. I know you guys (and gals) are all nice enough that you'd want to chime in with wishes for a full and speedy recovery. But really, all I wanted to do was vent for a minute here.
If anyone in North Jersey needs to borrow a Tesoro Compadre for a few weeks, let me know! Hate to think of my new baby going to waste
See ya on the other side....
