" 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

Re: " A FIRST for ME "

Well you at least found something!!!

Could have been on a more sensitive part of your body... and I don't mean your knee!!

Get well soon so we can go out.
 

Re: " A FIRST for ME "

Yikes!

Glad your knee's getting better. . . better days are coming :icon_sunny:

Welcome back Bob!

Gotta get you refocused on what constitutes a "keeper" eh?
 

Re: " A FIRST for ME "

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...
 

Re: " A FIRST for ME "

The ticks are guarding your good silver.
 

Re: " A FIRST for ME "

Glad you're able to get out now and make new friends! ;D

Now go get some silver! :thumbsup:

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 ;D
