Back in the Saddle...

[Metals406]

Glad you had fun Gary... Good luck and enjoy your Monday as well!

 

[Woodie]

I can feel your exuberance!

It's taking every amount of willpower I have not to turn the above into something dirty.

Good to hear you're back out there Gary!

(And don't worry about turning 40...when I turned forty a few years ago, I told everyone "40 is the new 17!") (Actually, I was talking to a few college girls at the time, but no joy...)

Glad you're able to go back. I was thrilled about going back to work after a few months off, I know how you feel. It does a man good to work.

 

[SawTroll]

Good to hear it!

:agree2:


-but what was the oil ratioes?????

 

[RAYINTOMBALL]

Glad to see your back in the saddle so to speak. Like everyone said take it easy for a while. Three days between the two outings should be just about right to let those sore muscles get to feeling better. Let us know how Monday goes. MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE USED 47.5 to 1 ULTRA. WHATCHA THINK? LOL:monkey: :monkey:

[Dok]

Good for you Gary! It's tough not doing what you want to do.

So this injury has been somewhat humbling... especially now that I'm 40, I've learned the hard way that my body does not recover as quickly after a sreious setback.



Gary

40? Wow. Just wait, buddy. I have wedges that older than you are.

 

[John Ellison]

A year. I bet you are sore. Glad to hear you are back at it. Even if you are in shape falling timber will get to you if you have been out of it a while.

It felt great to have the pockets of my Carhartt's full of wood chips again.

according to Jerry Beranek, woodchips in your pockets is a sign of prosperity! but i'm sure you know that.

Glad to hear you had fun.

 

[Poley4]

Gary,
Glad to hear you are back out doing what you love to do. Take care of that back and hopefully you will get to that for years to come.

 

[abohac]

Never had a back injury that would hang me up like that. Glad you can work!

 

[Tzed250]

I'll bet it was a great feeling to pull the trigger and feel the saw come under load! Take care of yourself and enjoy it!!

 

[Pablo26]

Glad to hear you are back in action! I'll have another celebration ale in your honor

Yep,,, Good seeing ya back in action Big guy!!!!!

I know the feeling it is great to work most days and especially
after a long off period glad to hear your getting to enjoy it again

Funny thing is; it will drive a working man nuts to be off for over a month
but after six months we want off and think we would enjoy retirement.
Only after a serious injury where we can't work will one realize just how
much we really enjoy being in the bush! I was off three months after
an auto accident and was going crazy after two weeks. On the third week
I began to do what I could and managed to put a motor in my dads truck.
Split wood enough to keep me warm and cut with a small saw. All this
with two broken colorbones and a smashed left scapula, small hailine
cracked vertebrae, two broke ribs with a punctured lung! It was one
painful time in my life that even after fifteen years I still feel. I pushed
myself though and was climbing after three months slowly and now
just pain on some bad days!

Dead nuts on. I tore an ACL in the late 90's. 5 & 1/2 months indoors almost killed me. I got offered the same inside cake job i did temp as a permanent position. Turned them down emphatically.
Gary, glad to hear your getting up to full throttle!
