Doctor appointment today. Hopefully I will be good to go to start walking without the brace. I have about 125 degrees of flex in my knee now and the quad muscle is getting stronger.

I have purchased an extra power cord so I can sit in the house and learn the menus of the new Humminbird 998si, that I got to use one afternoon this summer. I am holding out hope that I will be back on the water late this fall. Deer hunting seems out of the question for this year.

Smoked some baby backs and almonds on the new Bradley smoker last week, yumm. Actually, my bride did it I am not getting around enough to do it. I barked orders from the sidelines. Next up a pork shoulder, chicken, more almonds, maybe a deer backstraps and some fish.
