This gives me inspiration for an experiment. All we need is TreeGuy, Cabertosser, Me, and a few magpies....

Rest up and get well soon, Dave.

Hi everyone  
Well I got out today for a bit again and went to an Alpaca farm that a couple we know has and bought a few things at the November craft sale they have every November. I was nice to get out again for a bit and the fresh air etc was nice. I still tired out quite fast but am really glad I got out for a bit. It will be nice once I'm able to drive again though. It sure feels funny not being able to just head out when I want to right now but that will come around soon. Not a nice feeling losing that kind of independence but I've been quite fortunate to have friends and family that can take me out for some errands etc 
Dave

Right on buddy! Don't push it, patience now leads to longevity later.

Well I got out for a bit today on my own for the first time in over two weeks. I was able to drive for the first time in 15 days, my dr had told me to wait 14 days before I could drive again. Just did a few stops around town and then called it a wrap
Still get quite tired etc really fast so it'll be sometime still before I can get up to too much mischief so I'm just taking it day by day for now.

It's nice to be able to get out on my own and drive myself to the store etc again
Just going out for a short bits at a time but so far I'm pacing and behaving myself like they told me to do.
I'm looking forward to being able to spend more time outside when things get better and hopefully get some ice fishing in this season as well.

Threads like this are rewarding to see. I'm very thankful that Dave is pulling through and taking things one day at a time.
Yesterday morning, I recieved a phone call that a good friend, and co-worker of 6yrs passed suddenly. He was getting some treatment for something, but took a major turn for the worse and didn't make it.
There's only 5 of us on our 'team' at the office, and we lost a great man who is leaving behind a 13yr old daughter, and a son in his 20's. I went in to work yesterday to clean his stuff and box his personal items for his wife. I didn't want someone else doing that sort of thing. Still pretty shell-shocked in looking at texts he sent me the other day. You expect a reply, but nothings going to come.
When you talk to friends or family about 'we should do this or that sometime', make sure you do those activities. You never know what can happen.
So, when guys like Dave can pull through major things like this, it makes us appreciate life and friendships that much more. We're glad you're still here with us big guy!

Still on the road to recovery and getting to feel a bit better still each day. Cabin fever has set in though but at least I'm able to get out now for a bit longer.
AB I'm very sorry to hear about your friend
Roadkill are you going to post about your hunting season this year? I'd like to hear how it went
Dave

Uuugh. This makes me look bad:
I *did* post about it, but when it came to light that there's a distinct legal difference between QC and AB, I spoke to an admin because I thought it was going to turn into a sh17storm, and I guess I felt that I was being insulting by wagging it in front of everyone's faces, so he agreed to take it down.
Turns out it didn't cause an issue at all aside from the initial roughness, but I didn't get to teh admin in time to not have the thread deleted. I've been tryign to figure out how to post a new, apologetic thread about that without coming off kinda stupid.
Which is probably what I deserve, actually
Essential rundown:
We got two on the last weekend. Or rather, each of my hunting buddies shot one. Over at my blind it was just females throwing themselves at me (so a lot like when I'm walking down the street, then  ). One was a buck of maybe three years, while the other was a spike that was just over the legal limit of 7 cm per antler. Though I didn't get to pull the trigger, I helped with the gutting as best I could (mostly holding the legs apart, etc), then helped heavily with the gutting and quartering. All without throwing up, which, for my first gutting experience and my squeamish ways, was a freakin' big accomplishment.
But man! Even an emptied deer weighs a tonne when you're dragging its dead a55 over fallen trees and rocks.
We gave one to the landowner as thanks for letting us set up a hunt camp on my lot and hunt every year, and the three of us divided the other one three ways. I'm going to pick mine up on Sunday. So I finally have meat for the freezer. Only took what, four years? five? Sigh...
I guess you didn't get out this season eh, Dave?

Understandable , I tried to post a hunting story this year too had mods remove it because I could just see it starting to go sideways right away. Sometimes I wonder if it's better to just post a" Yup filled my tag I'm happy"

I got out hunting three times for a couple hours before I had the heart attack. Saw a few but didn't get a chance at any to shoot. I had fun getting out though and am looking forward to next season already
Roadkill sounds like you had a fun time this season and got to do a few more things to add to your hunting experience as well as having some good memorable time outdoors again this season
Jungleboy you had a really good season as well this year
I'm hoping once I'm up to getting out a bit more that I'll get in some ice fishing and hopefully go out looking for coyotes as well. I have a new surprise for the lil yodel hounds this winter

Well after 5 days of that wonderful stomach flu I finally got out today for a bit Saw my dr and I'm recovering from the heart attack very well in her opinion and after some more recovery time I should be able to get out and do a few more things
I see my Cardiologist early next month for my first check up with him since my hospital stay so hopefully he has more good news for me then

I OWE YOU SOME FLOWERS, DAMMIT!
Get well soon pal, but don't push it. Let that ticker of yours heal up!
