I can understand why I'm not out fishing or doing anything. The heat is #1 add that to just having a knee replaced.
But somebody has got to be doing something? Replacing line on your reels, charging your batteries, been to a new place to eat?
I'm dieing here with nothing to do but physical therapy nothing to even read about.
So what are you doing, help an old fart out.

You can see what we are doing
Well I do hope your recovery is going well. I start my own recovery next week from hand surgery. Been getting needed chores done so not much time to get on water myself. But today I did for a short time. So to give you something to look at and have a chuckle I did catch this monster fish :yikes

Have a good recovery and get out there as soon as possible :fish
Hope you recover quickly. Spending time with a pup certainly isn't the worst way one can spend their day.
Hope to get out one day this week. Took time off the water to protect myself from the July Fourth Crowd. Been trying to catch up on my motorcycle riding and took up a new hobby also. I need a 10 day week to get everything in. I’ve recovered from hand surgery so I can’t use it as an excuse. All I need is some cooler weather.

Grady, you need to get Linda to chase you around the park if it's that bad. Just do something stupid and run like heck! Hope to extend a trip to you soon provided you are up to it. I felt like the world forgot me when I was at home when I had my knees done. It is boring.:banghead Holler when you are game to go, I'll even let you pull anchors a few times! That's what buddies do! :biggrin

At least it's got scales and slime. Only scales I've seen lately is the that tells me I lost a few pounds.
Thanks for posting
Thanks to everyone that's posted so far, this has got to be the most boring medical thing to do. You hurt like h**l for two weeks then you are stiff for I don't know how long ( I'm at 5 1/2 weeks) seating up hurts.
Please keep posting
Dwagg, if I could run or even walk around the park I'd be healed up and ready to fish.
Getting better every day, I actually put my foot up on the seat in the shower, that's progress
Did all that heavy manual labor I did for ya hold out? If ya need something else yell.

It was along this time during the year that we practically did away with the off topic board because NOTHING was getting posted. Then the jokes, gardening, vacations, and anything else someone wanted to share with the rest of us got started so the boards livened up a bit. A few didnt like it but most was glad to see something being posted again.
So...........it does not have to be fishing related to share a thought here. Get something going. I'm sure most of us is as bored right now as anyone else. Me? I got 2 of the 3 crossbows I have out this morning and got them re-sighted back in after having trigger work done on them. Deer season started here in 9 more weeks. It's been a bit cooler today so was a good day to be outside this morning doing something.:)
had heck of a spring ketchn then had a couple of minor health setbacks so took it easy and only did some cruising around the lake and visiting with folks and holding cookouts. But main focus was getting my tomatoes in and they are doing splendid on their crappie carcess base. got first big un this week and bunch of my cherries.
About to go into a frenzy of grandkids so that's always a blast.
The grands have been a ball for the Mrs and myself. We only have two girls...a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old. Another on the way come October...a grandson.y maters have been turning since mid May and theyre GOOD! I tried planting on fish heads one year. Didnt turn out too well for me. When the weather cools off my plans since retirement is to hunt mornings and evenings and fish during the mid day. Gonna be busy for sure!;):)
Me and the Mrs started playing Pickleball a little over a week ago for exercise. We are not very good yet. We are getting embarrassed by 75-80 year olds. It’s pretty fun and a nice break from our normal routine. Just having a problem being excited about HOT WEATHER FISHIN. A scooter ride to the High Country is in order today. It will be at least 10 degrees cooler. Got a fishin trip tentatively planned for Wednesday. Planning activities every day is tuff, but it sure beats working. Retirement is Awesome.Quote:

Thanks for everyone's posts, I'm up to my eye brows watching Heat of the Night, Perry Mason, and the many cowboy shows on TV. Still a little fuzzy from the drugs for knee pain.
Any distraction is welcome, I check my feed several times a day. Going outside isn't any fun bybthevtime I find a comfortable position to sit it's too dang hot to stay outside.
At least I learned something, I now know how many floor tiles there are in the Motorhome, how many little lights there are on the ceiling.
Yes I'm bored.
End of rant.
Again thanks for posting anything
Since I work from home in the mornings, the late afternoons have been my time for fishing. Lately we've had some bad storms hitting then so I've stayed home. Can't wait to get out again soon.
Wife went on a 7_day cruise to Puerto Rico and guess what she brought back unhuh covid. We both tested positive so we hibernated fora two weeks. We have since tested negeative. Finally getting to feel better. I took the pontoon to doss marine today to have a 100 hr service. When I get it back it goes up for sale. To many boats and to bad health to keep all of them. Got to start getting the boat ready for a trip to Mississippi in August for crankfest. Looking forward to it as it may be my last. I am having a lot of heart problems. Anybody want to join me in the trip to Mississippi. Send me a pm. Everybody be careful and enjoy your summer.
Don, sorry to hear about your heart problems. I'd love to go but I'm stuck doing PT for my knee for a couple more months.
Glad to hear you are not negative, that had to be hard with both of you sick. I think Linda almost shot me the 1st week after my knee replacement, but I talked down and hid the gu.n
did a one boat nitestalk last last week, got on Wylie, ran back into Torrance and got all set up, caught 4 crappie in less than 5 minutes and then had to pack up and make a run for the landing really fast when we couldn't tell if we were sitting on the water or in the water. one of those pop up thunder boomers rolled in super quick. started raining so hard I swear I saw a crappie swim by my windshield on the way to landing. :Rofl Hang in there with the knee and make sure you do all your PT, my new superman knee will be 5 years old next week. looking forward to seeing you back on the water :fish
Went to PT yesterday bending knee to 120 degrees at 6 weeks, max the new knee will go is 13 degrees so I'm doing good. Yes, I'm doing PT 2x a day.
Glad you at least got a fish on the line before you had to swim back to the dock. :-)
Sorry to hear that Don. I know that had to be rough. My wife and I had it at the same time as well back in February.
I'm glad y'all are doing better. Do you need anything?

Been working n had Covid again. Then decided to make this grass into a garden.
That looks a lot like work, I'll pass. Never had the luck my Dad had with growing things. He made it look easy
Good looking gardenQuote:

I had it December 2020. I tore the front porch off the house and rebuilt it. Took me about a week. I was determined to not sit around and let sickness get me. I shrugged it off and never got sick. I did lose my smell and taste.
After the initial 2-3 days of feeling just crappy I dug up stumps in my food plots with shovel and axe. Figured I'd just "sweat" it out. HA!
My thoughts exactly.
That was an after not a during.Quote:
