Rest up through the Wyoming Valley's winter, avoid shoveling snow, and you'll be back in the bush before you know it.
Good luck and take care,

Work hard and be nice, you never have enough time or friends.

Godspeed on your recovery. That was good advice earlier on not shoveling any snow this winter!

Africa needs all of us hunters, including you!

Heal up soon my friend, the Fall seasons are upon us!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Good luck and heal fast!

Most folks I know who have had the replacement tell me they feel so much better afterwards in terms of energy and endurance, so this should get you back out in the field soon!

Mike,
Hope they gave you some new lifters and re-ground your cam shaft.

Glad you’re on the path to recovery.

Get well!
I just had a kidney transplant in February, I'm hoping to make my first trip to Africa in 2024! I'm really hoping to fulfill a lifelong dream of taking a cape buffalo with the double rifle! I feel like God has given me a second chance at life and I'm going to make some of my bucket list dreams come true!
