Many of you may not be aware but almost a year ago ( 27th to be exact ), I became a grandfather ( Pa) . I didn’t get the chance to share the good news because, at the time, I was in quite the predicament.

Through the late fall and into the winter, I had some soreness in my midsection. But, I’d come to accept the fact that when you reach a certain age, you’re sore a lot . Especially if you’re active, which I am. But it kinda came to a head one morning when I sat up in bed and immediately grabbed my gut and let out a groan, which caught Stephanie's attention . She made me go to the ER.

Diverticulitis. And it had gone on long enough that an abscess had developed. They sent me home with antibiotics with instructions that if anything changed, I was supposed to come back.

Within 24 hours, I was vomiting . Violently. So, I was back. This time, admitted for about four days of IV antibiotics. Sent home with more antibiotics.

Initially, I was feeling better. But as I was ending my cycle of medication, the pain was coming back. Back to the ER.

The abscess had actually grown and the fear was of perforation of the bowel . That ended up happening , I went septic and now I was in the mentioned “predicament” .

My surgeon tried to place a drain to alleviate the abscess and get things under control. However, a couple days after the drain was placed, my nasal-gastric tube was removed and immediately after, I had the most violent vomiting episodes I’ve ever experienced. And with every stomach muscle contraction, the level of pain was off the charts. Pain medicine wasn’t touching it and getting rest wasn’t an option.

One early morning, one of my medical team was making his rounds while I was in the midst of one of my bouts and made the determination that I was going into surgery. That morning. My surgeon was going to have to remove that section of large intestine, all together. 01/31/25. My birthday lol.

But !!!…while this was going on my beautiful daughter by marriage had given birth to a very handsome, healthy boy . Leo had come into the world. She was two floors below me, so poor Stephanie was running back and forth between floors. That poor, long-suffering woman. May God bless , protect, and keep her. She was also have to contend with a water heater that had gone out at the house. And she was still running the show for her home health company’s branch that comprises most of SW Oklahoma.

I had a colostomy bag ( called it my ‘Pride Purse’ because irony and sarcasm I find funny ) until I was sewn back together in May .

I’ve been watching Leo for a unique characteristic or behavior so I could dub him with a suitable nickname. Something that could grow with him . Leo and his parents are staying with us for a time as his Dad separates from the Army before he begins school and work. So, I get to observe him a lot throughout the day . Always zooming around the house in his walker all the while making his funny “calls” as he learns to manipulate his voice.

When Leo naps or goes “night night” , he sits in his crib and occupies himself until sleep overtakes him . Then, he just slumps forward. Straight folded.

Meet “Jack Knife “.
I think “Jack Knife “ and I are going to have lots of fun and adventures.
Incidentally, the VA sent me tons of Pride Purses . So , I decided to incorporate them as Halloween treat disbursement. “Trick or treat “…trick or trauma. [Linked Image]

3 issues of Hunter Trader Trapper magazine, they are dated August 1934, December 1930 and June 1925.  The issues are in pretty good shape, the December 1930 issue shows wear on the spine, but the cover is still firmly attached.  The January 1925 shows very slight wear on the spine and the August 1934 is very nice. 
$10 each, or all 3 for $25.00 plus shipping.  I need your address to determine shipping as I only charge the actual cost.  I accept personal checks, money order and PayPal.

Looking for pieces or take offs of #2 or #3 twin loop trap chain, such as might come on a #1 long spring or a 110/120, that you want to get rid of. Figured I would check before buying new. Send me a message with what you have and price.

Thanks!

I got a bunch of bulletboxes traps from the Texas Trappers association and have decided to use them for fundraising here. I had tags made for them and they all come with chain and drags. The price on these will be 35.00 shipped. The Texas Trappers Association will receive 12.50 per trap sold and the trapperman defense fund and Discretionary fund will split the other 12.50. 10.00 will go towards shipping and anything over that I will cover.
