Ha ha. Good idea about the rubber bands. We have a squirt gun, but it wasn’t handy at the moment.
And yes, the therapy is so important with shoulder surgery. We also know people who didn’t have great results because they didn’t do their part. T.J.’s surgeon was more concerned about him overdoing it during the first six weeks.
Too funny about the kittens. Lately one of our chickens has taking to picking on our older cat. Pretty funny to watch.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #153724Hi Everyone. Sorry I’ve been missing in action.
T.J.’s surgery went very well. He had four rotator cuff tendons and a bicep tendon repaired mid-February. The first few weeks were kind of hard, mostly uncomfortable sleeping. He does his therapy religiously, and at 6 weeks they said he looked like someone 4 or 5 months in. He has great range of motion. Now he’s able to lift small weights during his therapy and the pain is all but gone, (except when he forgot and threw a pillow at our cat who had jumped on our table). He’s doing so well that he decided to go on the annual fishing trip in Alaska in June with his buddies. He won’t be fishing, but he was going to cancel since he can’t lift anything. They encouraged him to come as long as he could still cook. LOL And that means we get more salmon, halibut and rock fish.
No pulling a bow for a while, but I expect he’ll be released in July to start slowly. It helps that the surgeon is a hunter, and the head of the hospital is a subscriber to the magazine. Small world.
Anyway, I didn’t mean to write a book. Thanks for asking about T.J. I hope all of you are well.

in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #153325Great job!
My daughter surprised me with this today. To you folks, I’m Webmom, but to three little darlings, I’m Meemaw.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #153313That’s awesome! I’m glad your swarm trap worked. Sounds like a good way to catch them, and an easy way to lower the swarm to a comfortable level, rather than going 30′ up in a tree. I’ve never caught a swarm. Kerri and I added more boxes this weekend so ours would have more room and NOT swarm. Still early up in this part of the country, but I’m seeing lots of swarms being caught in our local club FB group. All four of our hives are booming, and I did a walk away split to give a hive to a friend. *fingers crossed* Thanks for the update.
in reply to: Meet the champs video ??? #152601Someone asked us a while back, and we couldn’t find anything on it. It was some kind of chemical. I hope someone here might know.

in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #152442Hi Dennis. I have not tried making swarm traps. And I have never seen a swarm of bees in my area, but I should probably have some kind of trap in case the bees in my hives decide to take off. Your design looks very interesting. Let us know if you catch a swarm.
in reply to: Bear Kodiak Takedown Customer Service #152209Hi Steve, and welcome to the group. It’s always nice to hear positive comments about a company. I’m glad they took care of the issue.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #151968Oh, and I forgot to report, all four of my beehives have survived winter so far. *fingers crossed* Beekeeping is my break from tradbow. 😉 What are some other hobbies you have besides traditional bows?
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #151944Dang! Is there anyone who didn’t get snow and cold this week? We are between storms here in SW Idaho, and hoping that roads are clear on Tuesday when I have to take T.J. in for shoulder surgery. We’ve had very little snow until now, and it sure is pretty when you don’t have to go anywhere.
Apr/May issue was mailed this week and should be delivered around the end of February, as long as the Post Office does their thing. It’s been rough the past two months getting magazines to people. (Subscribers who don’t have Feb/Mar should email me at webmaster@tradbow.com)
Otherwise, we are all good here.
in reply to: SB 252 CA bear hunting ban bill #151723Wow! That would be a terrible thing to happen. Your letter is excellent. Can those of us outside California help, or is this mainly for our California members?
Thanks, Robin
in reply to: what’s a decent longbow in the $300 range. #150848The “free advertising” thing is if you are promoting your own product. This is different, and some have already mentioned business that sell bows. Feel free to share the builder or where someone might get this bow.
