Title: Ouch!
Post by: koan on August 04, 2013, 02:09:24 pm
Hey all. No good deed goes unpunished as the old sayin goes, lol... My girl and i went to a horseshoe tournement yesterday to benefit some one in need.... I had just thrown a ringer... when i turned to walk away....well my knee cap turned.. but my leg didnt... Kinda weird when you can see your knee cap at a right angle to your leg, lol... They put it back in place and luckely nothin was torn. Gonna be laid up atleast a week. Its all good just sore now.... So..... How was everyone elses weekend, lol? ;D

Sorry to hear about the knee. I had one minor knee surgery years ago. No problems since. My weekend was awesome! Had my 3rd annual Knap In here in Yosemite National Park. Had a guy who has 4 worlds strongest man titles! Awesome guy. About 10 knappers, A few students, lots of visitors and invitations to go salmon fishing in April and Dungeness crabbing in November! got some more material and some more on the way. Great Weekend!
 Talk about ouch - Grog was working on a piece and Ken was about four feet away. grog takes a big swing at a piece and the next thing we know Ken is bleeding! Seems like a chip of grogs piece went the four feet and hit one on the veins in the back of kens hand! Never did find the culprit. Got ken closed up real quick and continued the rock busting. Most of these guys work Obsidian so all in all the blood bath was kept to a minimum!  Google Grog Verbeck and check out some of his work. He is also a chef. You can also see Phil Martin in Worlds Strongest man competition videos.

Start physical therapy Monday. Doc says he'll know after a couple sessions if i need surgery. On a lighter note i got a waaaay better leg brace so im somewhat mobile now. Doc said not to mow my yard(SWEET) but i could do other stuff, lol. Maybe i can stand in front of a vice or bandsaw  ;D

Well, still dont know if it needs surgery(Dr. just to busy to see me :o) but the knee is feelin much better! Brother Auggie came for a visit yesterday. He got my bandsaw mounted onda stand and helped me set up my 3D buck and a great backstop so i dont have to chase wild arrows with this full leg brace on. :) we got to do alot of shootin yesterday wich was great! Finally gettin off the porch! Darla got to shoot a selfbow for the 1st time, she is use to shootin compounds so now she is bruised from the bicep down her arm..pain is a great teacher and she quickly found her form and was shootin purty well at 10 yrds... all in all it was a great day topped off with KC strips onda grill, fresh mators, and zuchinni..and a few Stags, lol ;)
