Felt an earthquake last night about 11:25. I was in bed reading and it came like a wave and shook the house for about five seconds. Sounded like something very big running across the roof.
Initial report said it was around Miami, Ok but later said it was NW of Prague, Ok. That’s SW of Tulsa a ways.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2024? #167348I had the same thing happen back in 2007 or 8. The laser treatment was like opening a curtain. I haven’t had any problem with my left eye on that note.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2024? #167317Now it’s been raining and we have had dense fog advisories. And it’s DENSE fog in the mornings. It’s 9am here in SE Ks and it’s cleared up to about 300 yards visibility. I’m glad I’m retired and not driving that bucket truck now.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2024? #167294Got some freezing rain last night. Didn’t get much but it sure looks glossy and slick. I’ll find out how slick in a few hours when I hike out to get the mail. More is in the forecast.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2024? #167209Just a little chilly here this morning. -3* and the wind chill is -14*.
I think I’ll stay inside.

in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2024? #166567Well, the weatherman got it right for a change although a little later than they thought. It’s snowing here now. The have predicted it for us several times but never had any. I looked out an hour ago and nothing. Now the ground is white.
in reply to: Happy New Year !!! #166492HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
I bought a lifetime license when Kansas first offered them. Paid for itself years ago but the F&G keeps changing the hoops you have to jump through.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2023? #166386MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!!
in reply to: HAPPY THANKSGIVING! #165889Been a good one so far. Went to Tulsa yesterday. My youngest daughter races BMX, bicycle motocross, and the USABMX organization holds their Grand National races every Thanksgiving weekend. There are racers from all over the world there.
Yesterday was their Race of Champions finals which is invitation only based on your standings in your age group for the year. Heather wound up with a 2nd place finish in the Open Class and a 4th in her age group.
We got to see and visit with friends from all over and well worth the trip.
The track.
Vendor and team area.
in reply to: Bow identification- hand me down #165676Here’s some Martin Bow specs you can look through and see if you can find anything about it.
The label makes me think it is a Martin Jaguar.
You might post this on the Stickbow.com Leatherwall. Lots of knowledgeable guys there that may be able to help you.
in reply to: First Buck with a Bow #165597Congrats Dave. Nice buck for sure.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2023? #165566My cousin, same age as me, was in the coast guard. He has disc problems and his Dr. said surgery was needed. If he had gone with back surgery he would have been discharged, something that Lt Cmdr did not want to do. He bought an inversion table and it helped his back to where he finished his career and retired several years later.
I’ll disagree with your dragging a deer out as the best back therapy Stephen. When you have Stenosis and Spondylosis that is not the best therapy. The last deer I shot was a two year old doe two years ago. I was having so much shoulder and back pain I could barely draw a bow so I decided to hunt with my .40 cal flintlock I had recently finished building. Luckily she turned and ran back toward the road and fell less than 100 yards from the truck.
I went to the truck and got my sled, loaded her, and began an hour long ordeal dragging her back to the road. My back and neck hurt to the point I wanted to cry and I still had to load her into the truck. I finally recovered enough that I took the tailgate off and used it as a ramp to drag her up int the bed and haul her to the locker. Excruciating pain mildly describes the feeling after that drag. Thankfully the neck fusion surgery has relieved 85-90% of the problems but I don’t plan on another deer drag.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2023? #165550I hear ya Kees. A couple of months ago I was checking emails one morning and the lights flickered and I heard a muffled crash. I thought maybe somebody had hit the power line on the road. When I looked out at the driveway one of my Elm trees had broke about 10′ up and it landed right between my Wrangler and Grand Cherokee close enough to them I couldn’t walk between the tree and the car. Didn’t touch either one.
I set about clearing the top limbs to clear the driveway and then started sawing the main trunk which was around 30″ in diameter. I overdid it and wound up with a kink in my back like you described. Several chiropractor sessions later I was somewhat back to normal but the biggest relief I get is hanging upside down on my inversion table every morning.
I need to catch up on my fix-it projects. Been busy this summer and fall.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2023? #165124Sounds like a good day Richard. As far as camo goes look up MFK game calls on youtube. These Arkansas boys sit in street clothes and call up yotes into their laps.
