Well folks I’m going under the knife in the morning Aug 2nd for a endartarectomy to clear a 98 % blockage in the right carotid artery! The left one is about 70%. So if I don’t make it back, it’s been nice knowing you guys.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

All the best, Mac. Let us know when how things went as soon as you are able.
I presume with a 70% blockage on the other side, you may be having that artery done in a few weeks as well.
