Anniversary

Thanks my amigo. We could have us a time, you can count on that for sure.

Fortunately for me I had been working steady for 3 or 4 years prior to this event. Mostly on them union prevailing wages which was really cool since your pension is based on your income for the last 2 or 3 years. But it was especially good in that I was in prime shape. Doing foundations, dry wall and framing I was in shape and I don't recall but I might have even had six pack abs which I later traded in for a keg.
While I was doing my therapy stuff at the hospital which was 90% exercising they discovered this very fact.

The therapist all women and 98% cute would bring me little 5# dumbells, (now Bookie's gonna note how appropriate that is) and tell me to do little wrist curls and arm lifts and stuff. I was balancing it and doing finger curls. They made the remark that it didn't look to difficult for me so I gritted my teeth and strained some much to their amusement. The next time I think they were 30# dummies.
Have to remember that the majority of their patients were elderly and had strokes or heart attacks.
Had me doing bench press's which was always my strong suit even in High School and I was tossing up the bar and catching it, don't recall what kind of weight it was. Nurse told me to knock it off, if she had to add any more weight she'd have to get someone to help her haul the bar over so I acted weak.
They brought in some leg braces towards the end of my sentence and bolted them on, (didn't like em much) and stood me up on some parallel bars. I just walked the length of them and told em I was ready to go. She was laughing, she said your good to go anywhere there was parallel bars, my feet never touched the ground.
I always wished there was a hand rail around roller and ice skating rinks so I had something to hang onto. I sucked with wheels or blades on my feet.
 
Bring it on brothers! We can raise the roof and then crash it down! We could trade and show off Khuks! That would keep us busy for a while! Then head on over to a friends range and shoot up some stuff with anything we want! Yep we could definitely get in some trouble! All wheelchair friendly! I think we still have $5 bounty on wild boar so that'd be fun too! Dont have many beavers in these parts but I hear they are on their way:eek:
 
Wife thinks we need an HI get together. We're all so durn far apart the logistics are ugly.

Schedules etc. I been trying to stage a get together with Mr. Wallace for months and can't seem to hit on a mutual date, last one the wife went in the hospital. Now we're getting into the busy season so might be awhile longer I suspect.

Oh well we're having fun here.

I did a little more, well a lot more playing on my little Pala knife today and for the last couple weeks. I'll post some pics tomorrow I hope.
 
well most of you are in the west and TX I think, I am near memphis TN-- we could probably pick a city that is roughly in the middle of us and all go to meet , I will bring a trunk of blades. right now my best guess for a meeting place would be maybe colorado, looking at the map, perhaps st louis depending on how many east coast knifers we have
 
Colorado would be cool! Ive never been there. We might have to pick a spot were knife laws are reasonable if there is such a place but somewhere in that general area is what i was thinking as well. We's also have to pick a place where there are plenty of dead trees to chop up...hey that sounds like my place:D
 
Bawanna,

This is a really great post. Love reading all your stories. We are lucky to have you around these parts.

For some reason this brings up a mental image of someone big holding a barbell straight up in the air by the end with what looks like about 4 of those 100# plates on it. I am so brain dead I can't remember the movie or the actor but I just keep getting this vague mental image and can remember the barbell crystal clear even though the rest is like it is behind frosted glass. LOL, there ya go Bawanna, getting compared to a hunky actor can't be all bad even if I can't remember who eh??
 
I'm thinking Reno for a destination. That way Auntie is right there close. And there's lots of accommodations and places to hang out.

Although Auntie being the world traveler might want to go someplace different.

I don't deal with TSA so my wheels stay down and I drive.

Compared to hunky can't be a bad thing I don't think.
 
Reno! We could help Aunti in the shack to get her a week or so caught up then she could take a week off and chop and share Yeti stories with us:thumbup: Us southerners could share Bigfoot stories and you guys on the Appalachian side can share killer Beaver stories!
 
You know, something didn't seem right about Bawanna inna hospital. I went up to visit him and pretty soon he sez: Cain't stay and talk, Bookie. I gotta go to therapy and lift them weights. O.K. I sez. I ring him up on the phone to shoot ther breeze and soon he says, you know, I gotta go to my therapy so's I'll be talkin' to you later. ....well TWO FREAKIN' years later, he's still in therapy!! I knowed something was wrong and I decided to jump the Doctor for not takin' care of poor ol' Bawann good enough and Bawanna sez: Oh No, Book! I really need that therapy stuff. It shore is helpin' me. I even moved on up to GROUP THERAPY weight liftin' now. So's I said O.K. once again. But you know, curiosity got the better of me and I decided to go check Bawanna's therapy class out. Yep. Bawanna done made a believer outta me. I even joined his group therapy and gotta say, sometimes groups is better!
