What a beautiful afternoon! Used our jib loader for about three hours today. Was great to work outside
I like the days when the temps are above freezing, ice n snow is starting to disappear!
45*Merican and rain tomorrow 
SD115 straightening out a mess
Funny part is I can tell you the day that was taken without lookin at the timestamp .
Wasn't pretty wood but some was pre split LOL
Jerry cut a load for a friend , I struggled just to give him a hand to load , it was one of them dark days for me because mobility wasn't happening very well for me , struggle and lots of pain , Remembrance Day 2013 .
It was a dark day for me with the doubt in my mind that I might not be able to get back to where I was .
But ,,,,,,, Now .
Not perfect but you'll never hear any complaints from me , ever .

47° mud was soft this morning, no freezing, gentle rain but cold, may be the beginning of the end, winter may be going.

Yep same here but 51 sunny and windy.......nice yesterday too......snow this weekend they saying......
I think that barometer thing is over rated , I can't predict shyte cause it don't change with the weather .
In a nutshell , I was clearing a house lot , jumped and lost traction got my foot jambed between a rock and a root or 2 rocks when I fell , foot was pointing in a direction that I wasn't , cut a crutch and got to my car about 700 yards away , drove 15 minutes to my brother's house , he took me down to emerge , I got rushed to the head of the line , didn't even have to take a number LOL , they didn't believe me when I told then the pain wasn't that bad so they juiced me up anyway .
I stayed in for 2 weeks for 3 sets of surgery because they couldn't set everything at once , they sucked , worst pain I ever felt was surgery #2 , nothig the gave me made the pain go away for 2 days , at least I got a semi private room for free .
The recovery road was long but I was getting pretty mobile by the following summer till they found I had broke some hardware and a pin shifted between the joint which was causing some "slight" discomfort so back in I go for some hardware removal , got a semi private room again for free and got laid up yet one more time for about 4 months just to start all over again .
Lots of physio therapy , being broke , self employed and the need for heat has got me to the mobility I have now and you can ask Jerry , I can get by pretty good now and maybe better than some with no disability .
The surgeries sucked , there were a lot of times that the pain meds did not much of anything and looking back a lot of days that were just grey even though the sun was shining , but , I wouldn't trade it for nothing because I sure learned a lot .
I have to thank Jerry for getting me a place to cut some wood and dropping off a load or two when I wasn't quite ready to do it myself and to the rest of the guys here that put up with my tales of woe as I went through those grey days .
My surgeon figured I'd be in for an ankle fusion , I thanked him for the good work he did just before Christmas past and told him he'd only see me if I needed the other leg fixed LOL
WCB has rated me 5% disabled , the surgeon said that an amputation at the ankle would rate about 7% on their scale .
You'll never see me throw in the towel and while I tell them how bad it is I'll never let them know how good it is
Oh , BTW , I can't run anymore , or yet , just not sure ,,,,,,, Yet .

I can second any part of this post, Dan is one tough cookie!!!
Nah , just stubborn or stupid , not sure which LOL
It`s a mindset, difficult to envision what a person is capable of when one sets their mind to do it.
