Merry Christmas everyone,,,I hope all are well. I hope to be able to read more and maybe even post a pic or two next month, when i can finally get back in a boat. Had a set back on Nov 2nd when my appendix burst, emergency surgery,, been off work and out of commission for 7 1/2 weeks ,, doc says come back on Jan 5th and should be ready for release then. They left the wound open to heal from inside out and have been packing it forever,,,lol.. The reason I have lots to be thankful for is,,, after the surgery the doc told the wife if I had waited 3 or 4 more hours they dont know what they could have done. As it was they had to take out a little of both small and large intestines as they had already gotten septic,,,,,sooooooo I am glad to be here,,, Yall have an awesome Christmas and a Happy New Year.
