Hi boy's n' gals!
And Mr. Grumpy-gramps Bushy....
Been a nutty few months. Hunting, moto'n, shooting....ya know. The usual. Boss cracked the whip at work on interweb stuff so...sorry I aint been around ta needle yall much.
At home on disability fer now. Back in 2006 I was badly crushed under a 10,000 pound box van when
I went down and slid into oncoming traffic on a bike. Long road back. Most of me came back on line, 'cept my right shoulder. It hurts. Really bad. A lot. Went and got an MRI/Xray, yep, torn rotator (6x5mm tear  ), ton's of scar tissue from abusing it in this fashion, bone spurs, inclusions and a 3-piece shoulder blade.
"....well there's yer problem...."
Long story short: 0600 tomorrow, time for surgery. Good news is I bummed a 'puter and am off for at least a couple weeks. 'Bout 6 months 'till I shoot shotty or hi-power again. So they say, I say ya caint keep a good dawg offfin yer leg-  ... so I pulled the kids from the safe, serviced them all up last night, did some shopping today, got my affairs in order and I'm good to go...oh, and Netflix,,,gotta have Netflix. Lookin' forward to reading and catching up on some of yer posts and stuff soo..I better get to it. Got a couple shooters projects to share as well so stay tuned...miss you guys and I hope everyone is as well as can be expected. TTYL!
-kevin.

Good to hear your still kicking. Good luck with the shoulder rebuild.

So you've been carryin a bum shoulder since 2006? This surgery will be a relief I bet! well I mean after a couple asprins. Get some of that trans-dermal morphine that should do the trick. My sister-in-law uses it and she's loopy as all get-out. Must be fun but I'd probably bein throwin up all the time. Here's a book you can read on line or you can buy it while you're recovering and in need of comedy. Wish you well!!

Stovey,
I pray the operation goes quick and the recovery as well.
Do the time getting back - don't hurt yourself more over-doing!
