Coming up on 40 this summer as well. I have been in discomfort for decade. The worst part is that it takes days to recover now instead of hours.
Just wait whippersnapper.
was never seen again
on a spare tire as well
My wife had some large stones block the outlet on her left kidney. Took her to the ER and the gave her pain meds and sent her home, said it would pass. She was in a ball on the floor the next morning. Family Dr had me take her to a surgery center and they had to give her fentanyl to give her any relief. They went in with a camera, pushed them out of the way, and put a stent in. Her kidney was so infected, she was starting down the path of being septic. They pushed in IV antibiotics and took them out a week later. She carried triplets, but said that was the worst she has ever felt. We disputed the ER bill, but they never admitted to any negligence.
Don't let them get out of hand.
Who is this? Please
Only on my heavy days, the rest of the time is it just Motrin and water.
Funniest story you'll ever hear in your life...
That would be Willie Nelson a long time ago.
How did you quote my post from a different thread?
I thought I had posted in that topic quoting and agreeing with you, I am a big Tikka fan
The results of that poll are pretty well what I would expect

I have a few pics from our vacation we are still on. Most of these shots are through my spotting scope using the phoneskope attaching device. I ordered the wrong holder for my phone so I had to make due with some duct tape and other things to get my phone to fit reasonably close.The wolf was just over 1800yds and this is a cropped image because when I upload to the computer I can not zoom it in to see. I used a nikn black for ranging and on animals 1200+ was easy in all conditions for the long shots I would range objects as close as I could. The biggest bull elk was in a clump of trees @ 2883 the average of 1/2 dozen tries

When I get home and can go through all of the pictures I will try to clean them up. One issue I had was focusing the camera. I would have such a crisp image in my spotter and then the camera would try to focus constantly. The bull ek for istance was easy to see his eyeguards and forks as well as the splits on his tops. He will be a very good bull in the fall. He was 10-15" higher at the back than the cows just out of my pictures of him. The bears were near pilgrim creek in Grand Teton national park. They are believed to be 3 or 4years old and litter mates according to the rangers that were there. They claimed 400and 325 but felt that the bigger bear was in that 300-325 and the sow was closer to 225-250 range. This based in my experience with black bears looking at how short they were from nose to tail. I could be way off as I have 1/2 hour of experience with grizzlies looking at them at 200yds. They were f=very cool. We were trying to see a sow named #399. She has 4 cubs this year and she is 24 years old. She killed an elk calf the first morning or the evening before our first day in the parks which was June 9th. She was out but the rangers wouldn't let us out of our cars or go past them to park on the side road to see her and her cubs. This was the case at every opportunity we had to see her. Thursday the 11th she crossed the road and I could not see but her legs and the tiny legs of 2 cubs as the rangers blocked the road 3 cars in front of us. The 2 we did see though were awesome to see. My wife walked all the way up to the rangers and at one point she was 80-100yds from them.. We watched old faithful and had to wait a mere 5 minutes for the show. Some had been there all day and it happened about 1800.
Hundreds of elk and bison in the park and more than both of antelope on the way to and from the park.On the way out we had snow above 8000' and cold temps till Thursday. The wolf pics it was 35 degrees and she must have been out looking for food. Her den was on the bank she was on but I didn't see any pups poking out.
The bighorn was in the wind river area off rt 26. There is a lamb in the shadow of the upper sheep. I have some video I hope to pull shots from when it was running around the 2 adults.
The collared elk kept her eyes on me the whole time while the napping elk never moved and the calf had her eyes closed most of the time I was looking at them. They were just over 250yds away.
These pictures and all the others were at all different zoom levels on my spotter. The bull elk and wolf were at least 40 most likely closer to the max of 48x.
Lastly we stayed at the Hatchet resort in Moran Wy. The rooms are great we had a regular room the first 2 nights and upgraded to a suite for the last 2 nights(cost 10 dollars more for the upgrade) The food is limited due to the Mexican beer thing. The food they did have was outstanding both breakfast and dinner. We will be going back at some point. Jackson Hole has changed alot since I was there in 92. Yellowstone had some amazing sights that I will post when I get hme. The wolf we saw was in YS. The bison pics I believe are all from ys also. 3/4 of the elk pics are from the Ox bow area in GTNP but I think we saw as many in Yellowstone.

I'll add this on the way to the park the speed goats had 0 fawns and we looked at lots of them. On the way to Casper yesterday same roads we saw dozens of fawns and plenty of single does looking for a place to drop a fawn. We did see one that was being cleaned up by the doe which was pretty cool. The weather had a north wind bite till Wednesday evening and I believe once that stopped they started dropping the fawns. The warm up also all but stopped seeing the elk after 830-900 or before 1700. The bison just rolled around in the dirt more.
A must do if you haven't yet

I retired from Philip Morris USA and we had an 18,000 acre ranch in Montana. "Had" to go out there several times for work. Three pictures from there.
Some friends came over this afternoon for a BBQ After a Jeep ride. Today is the 70th anniversary of the Jeep Trademark... which is good an excuse as any for a bit of driving around and a BBQ!
Photo taken by a friend.
Cheers, Sirhr

Before going over to VN, I was in the 17th Cav at Ft Campbell. this was in 66, BH (before helicopters). The Cav drove aroun din gun jeeps and I had an M-151 FLA. Stayed inthe field, since we were trainingup to keep rotating guys to VN for A Troop, while the Division was thinking about all heading over there (it was 1st BDE only for a long time. I got there in 68 with the division). Did a lot of Drop Zone Coverage, which was fun (take a book, sit under a tree, hardly anyone got hurt). ON a field op, ran into Johnny Crawford of all people. I was freezing my ass off in a ditch, he was wrapped in a sleeping bag, reading a paperback, while his team was off filming operations. Wouldn't even look our way, the little puke.
Those jeeps bring back a lot of memories.
