Seeing the surgeon

Well let's just hope he doesn't make too much noise and get caught by his wife....

Dog's knot perhaps?   

I'll bet he is pushing his 15 lb limit and having a blast doing it.

We want the details on your "OTHER" post surgical goal

TWO MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I aint "Screwing" this up and putting it bluntly screwing would be the worst thing for my back.  I leave for Elk camp Wednesday, kids are all gone, Pappy goes to bed early, and the hot tub is nice and toasty   Spent yesterday buttering the wife up, took her to the casino, which she loves and then some cuddle time watching a couple movies (bad teacher and Zoo Keeper), these next two days may prove to be the roughest yet   Since I'll be leaving early Wed. and I wont be in a location for cell or net y'all will just have to wait for all the intimate details
Every time I go next door I walk past the 14 and KLR I just drool, I had planned to take the KLR hunting, heated grips, nice quiet pipe (Q4), GMRS radio setup with throat mike, and some of the great Pirelli DOT knobbies   Oh well, next year.
This is probably the last year Pappy will actually go hunting, I have made a special firing pin for Pappy, we dont want any accidents, his Alzheimers has got to that point, he has enough old memory that he knows his rifle needs to be loaded, but is likely to forget to check his safety, so I shortened it enough to not hit the primer, I'll be with him the entire time so it wont be a missed opportunity should a elk show uo.  Burns the heart but it is the right thing to do for all.  Hunting has been a part of my life as long as I remember, Pappy was there for my first Elk (actually all of them), my first legal deer, and then this year he spotted the bear my buddy got.  Each of those moments he was happier then any animal he ever took and the ones he still remembers.  It was an old Tote Goat that started me on the addiction to two wheels, then an old 2 stroke Benneli, a trail 90, which I still have BTW, and then an XT250, which I still also have.  It is his loyalty to friends and family that gave me the values I have to day.  I could go on and on about the great things he shared, but I aint ready to write a book.

Back to the funny stuff, I'm hornier then a halk F'd fox in a forrest fire and a three peckered billy goat.  Gonna be a hot night Tuesday

Well let's just hope he doesn't make too much noise and get caught by his wife....

Wife spiked the vasoline with sand and fiberglass

Good luck with the elk hunt, I really don't look forward to my parents growing old, but I guess it is unavoidable.  That is really nice that you are letting him participate in everything but also keeping his safety and others around him in the forefront.  I'm sure that is a tough tightrope to walk.  Have fun and make sure you take it easy so that you can enjoy "date night" with your wife after the hunting trip.

That was a GREAT post there Chet... You and I are alot alike with reguards to the Pappy's in our lives...aaand I started out with a Tote Goat too...  maaaan I haven't heard that term for a while!
Peace and good luck Brother

Got her spotted, season opens Tue. at 6PH, first tag will be a minute or less, second tags gonna take quite a bit longer

Nice post indeed Chet.

You watched Zoo Keeper with the wife? From what I've seen of the previews, that 2 hours or so might have been as bad as not being able to ride your bike...

[blue14]

Clear signs Chet is on the mend

I did get a chuckle or two, but Bad Teacher?  I never though a dry humping scene could be a turn on

[B.D.F.]

 

Let's just hope you don't suffer from a defective firing pin like you mentioned earlier....

Quick update, piping is clean   I'm leaving early tomorow morning, Pappys dentist appointment got changed to today, got his haircut, and all his clothes packed and ready to go.  The dentist kept his uppers, we came home and he was all in a panic trying to find em.  Had to re explain where they were and why.  Ten minutes later he asks again, I told him our buddy Richard had them   If he could remember anything longer then 5 minutes I wouldnt have done that, I got the death look from my wife which made me chuckle.  5 minutes later, he asked again, this time I saw the fire ahead of time and told him the truth.  Next thing he did was pack his ditty bag, ready to go, I explained when we were leaving, and this cycle is repeated almost hourly.  Ask him about High School and he can ramble on for hours, ask him about fishing the Kalama, he'll give you detailed instructions on how to bait the hooks, where to place the cast and how to monitor the line as it drifts down stream.  Alzheimers is a wicked desease, I've learned to cope with it most times, but sometimes I remember the man he used to be and cant help but get choked up.  I'm avoiding a home for as long as possible, but I fear I may have no choice. 
Keep sharing them prayers, who knows how much help I need.

Thanks to all, I'll be back in a coupla weeks, keep Jeremy occupied, all our banter has really helped me and the energy from the prayers has been well received.

Hey Chet the wife and I took care of an old boy with alzheimers for the last years of his (like a father to us) and I promised him he'd never go in a home... Held his hand while he took his last breath last August after flying home from my Alaska ride to see him off.  We ended up getting a helper during the day while we we're at work then we'd take care from dinner till the next morning... it's a good thing your doing and what indigenous people heve done for centuries... and what we used to do to.  Very uncaring the way our rushed culture deals with our elders.  So man good on you for returning the love to Pappy.

I can only imagine how tough it must be to see your Dad go through those changes caused by the disease.  That could be any one of us some day. Stay strong and know that you are in our prayers!

[graham downunder]

Great to hear your back is better and got away with pappy.I realy think you are doing a wonderfull thing looking after your dad sorry he has lost all of his memory .

[Son of Pappy]

See my post about leaving the synthetic world.  We're gonna start with the visiting Angels for a few hours a day. 

My back is getting better, walked about 4-6 miles a day, and did most of the camp chores.  Only thing that sucked was my bed.  I also saw the true power of a friend.  Words alone will never demonstrate the depth of our friendship.

The prayers and words of encouragement are helping, please dont stop, I need every bit of help I can get.  Once we are done butchering up the 2 elk I will be starting a graduated workout routine and lose the 6 pounds I gained while hunting.  We ate good!!!!!!!!!!!!  I make the best biscuits and gravy known to man........

As a side note,,,,sex aint so good on the back   Still pain med free.

Thanks to everyone, I'm sending prayers back for health and prosperity of life.
