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
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!

A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender. I wish everyone the world over had the dominating spirit that motivates Texans.– Billy Clayton, Speaker of the Texas House
No state commands such fierce pride and loyalty. Lesser mortals are pitied for their misfortune in not being born in Texas.— Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to Texas in May, 1991.
"I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally. He looks like you owe him money." - Robert Ruark, Horn of the Hunter, 1953

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!
