For what are you fishing????

Actual fish or pictures of ladies with fish????

(By the way, that begs a question....which "slaps" hardest, a fish or a lady?)

Never been slapped by a female, I guess that is an attribute to how I treat women.
Usually just minor cuts and abrasions on my hands from fish.

Good morning guys.

Afternoon! How's the bumps and bruises?

Afternoon! How's the bumps and bruises?

Yeah!!!!

And, we want to see pictures of the bruises.

Speaking of pictures, I haven't posted any in a while, even though we've been home for about a week. The one below was taken at Toroweap Overlook, which is an area of the north rim of the Grand Canyon. This section of the canyon is after the river leaves the wide expanse that the Grand Canyon is best known. Walls here are roughly 3000 feet high.

In this picture, the "black layer" that is cascading down the side of the cliffs is an old lava flow. That lava has also created one heck of a set of rapids below that "cascade." The lava is from Mount Trumbull, which is a bit NW of Toroweap Overlook.



Another picture of the river and the Lava Falls, which is what they call the cascade of lava down the slope. This also shows those rapids and a couple of rafters upriver of the rapids.

We are almost on our way back to Alabama to finish our work there. The wife has her follow-up visit with her heart doctor this morning, and if she gets a clean bill-of-health, we will leave his office and head back to Kudzu country.

Good morning folks,
I’m still really sore still. I have been wrapping the ribs and wearing a compression shirt as well. Really hard to sleep. I figure it will take a couple of weeks foe the soreness to leave.
Thanks for asking.

Probably more than a couple of weeks... I broke a rib a little over a year ago, and I had surgery scheduled for about 6 weeks later. I remember being afraid that I wasn't sure if I could lay on my stomach for the surgery, but fortunately I was on my back anyway. I could have gone face down long enough for them to knock me out, so it was some better after six weeks, but not gone to the point of not being any problem.

Sorry to be negative... the first couple of weeks is definitely the worst, after that it's kind of more of a painful nuisance. It will get better, but be patient.
