What's good TOO?

- Start date
I just microwaved 4 egg rolls...that's a hangover breakfast for a beast! [emoji23]
I guess this doesn't really fit in this thread, but I didn't feel the need to start a new one. Thursday night during a league soccer game I tore my ACL and possibly more in my right knee (MRI pending 9-20). I am getting around OK with the aid of a knee brace, but this will definitely put a damper on my 2017-18 deer season. I am hoping to have the surgery sometime after gun season in hopes I can be able to fish the spring walleye run. I am fairly confident that I can make my way into the blind and up into a tree stand, pre op. Swelling is subsiding daily and my mobility is increasing, stability while shifting is the present issue. I plan to try pulling my bow back from a platform (grounded) to see if I will be able to shift for different shot angles. Keeping positive thoughts and taking it day by day.

I have to take a moment to "brag", People who know me know that I am the last person to take credit for anything! Shit I screw up more than I do right!
My daughter finished up her 1st year of 4-H this year and I could not of been prouder!! She worked her tail off and loved her animals! She even had to put up with me chewin on her butt a few times when we were working with her pigs. It all paid off in the end, she got 2nd place in her weight class during the open show, which had a ton of out of state show pigs in it, and during the Jr.Fair shows she got 1st place in her drive, Reserve Champion gilt, and 3rd overall with Flash, and she got 1st place in her drive with Boots, both gilts went into the Championship drive but Flash was the one to win hardware. Luckily for my daughter both pigs avoided the slaughterhouse, Flash went back to her birth place to be breed and create more champions, and my Dad bought back Boots for his own little project at his place.
Maria showed the crap out of her pigs for her first year! I was amazed at her focus and persistence in the ring. I made some choice this past year with my job to take a step back and spend more time with my family and this just proved that I made the right decision! I was one happy Daddy when after she was done!

Daddy/Daughter pep talk after being penned!
Sorry if I annoyed anyone but this was how most of our summer was spent and if you ever been around 4-H and showing animals, this kind of success doesn't happen often, let alone the 1st year!!! I am just one proud Dad!
