I appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, post, and pm's very much. I know I am pushing it for this 2 day trip and I will be the first to admit that I probably should not go but I am going. Back in Feb of this year my buddy Hens took me to Dale for 2 days after I had spent several months in the hospital 5 surgeries in 2007 plus all kinds of complications and it was the best thing I ever did. I remember the first time I saw the lake on the road to Holly Creek ramp the next to last curve when you can look thru the woods and see the lake over the marina. The sight was beautiful and I can still remember the view exactly. I sure hope I get the same feeling when we launch at Pleasant Grove Thursday morning. Hens will take EXCELLENT care of me and will not let me carry anything and he is coming over today after work to help me get my boat ready, batteries charged and loaded. Hens in my Best Buddy and I love him to death and he does me as well. My Brother from another Mother is the best way to describe him. Plus he has already had the experience of taking me to the hospital during the middle of a fishing trip when I busted a hernia at Barren River back in March of 2006 so he knows what to do, we just hope he does not have to use this experience on this trip. I will do my best to not get hurt but I just got to go and get out of the house and hospital which has been my home since August. Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers.
Elnutsmalljaws (Elwood) or Woody for my friends, plus I have a current wife and an ex-wife so I have been called a lot worse.
