Prednisone is amazing. I'm sure the cuff is ok, must've torn some muscle inside. It doesn't take much to feel like you just shot yourself.

But yeah, improvement is occurring.

I hope you are not speaking from experience 

Glad to hear you are on the mend

One year I was doing my annual clearing of hunting trails behind Thee Olde Man's house and tried to pick up a dead fall ash trunk, around 2' round at the stump, to move it off the trail. I didn't know it was frozen to the ground. Yes, I lifted with my legs, but my arms were fully extended. I did a jerk maneuver and ruptured my distal bicep tendon. THAT felt like what I would equate to being shot. My vision literally went black for 5 seconds and my bicep immediately went up to my shoulder. A rough 6 months of reattachment and ensuing rehab later it was fine, but yeah, it felt like a round hit me in the arm.

Story for reference purposes only...

I gotta stop and think about things before I do them now.  Stuff we used to do routinely with no trouble isn't that way any more!  What a time for the kids to be grown and gone....

I jumped off the tailgate of my pick up on friday...

It still hurts 

I had opportunity to fire a S&W model 29 in .44 mag the other day.

Whoa...

Loaded more "belongings" at the wife's today. One trip left: gun safe, pellet grill, a bunch of those costco rolling wire shelves, an odd, an end. Feels pretty darn final...

I also have a bulk of R/C modeling inventory, kits, props, servos, props, tools, props, engines, props, engines and a GREAT many sundry parts, too much to list. Lots of Duke Fox's stuff, diesel and glow. Some of these have never been run. It's all gotta land somewhere...

Well that's a bummer. Feel for you brother.

Hate this so much....

I appreciate the support guys, but I'll say this much: though it was a pretty rough January, February and March, I'm doing great with the knowledge that my friendship with Terrin is still as stout as it ever was, and there's no sign of that changing. Ill take that over losing her completely.

So yeah, huge adjustment period ongoing, and I have moments now and then, but the Stettoman is good, and slowly moving forward...although yeah, I'm too old for this sh*t 

Oh, and the PuddinFace is pulling a dammed 4.0 in college!!!

I'm getting more established here in Harwood every day. They have me mowing with the Kubota dragging a brush hog and I've stomped a half dozen scorpions so far. I borrowed some lumber from the lord of the land and built myself a porchlette, 44 by 91 inches. It fits...I'll see if the Honcho will post pics.

Stettos been busy

and more

Damn, you getting a regular homestead going there!  For a second, I thought the little fence thing was your outdoor shower....  

Staying busy always helps keep your mind off things.  Sorry you have to be going through all this, amigo.  You know you can shout at me any time.

I have a whole garage full of RC stuff.  Not nearly as many props, though. 

Jaime, im going to bring you some props...

I have a ground squirrel problem here in my front yardlette. Got some Tomcat poison. Time to feed the little bastiges.
