I'm glad your feeling a bit better. I had the same thing happen to my freezer. Daughter unplugged it to use the shop vac on her car and forgot to plug it back in. What a horrid smell, and waste. Never did get the smell to go away. Stay positive like you are, it gets better. Bows are like dogs, totally devoted and will stay at the ready just for you when your ready. Change your handle to lucky.   :)

David you're the man.Thanks for the wonderfull bow I bought from you(Howatt sd),and I am praying that your luck will change.All I have to say try to do some swimming as it is the best exersise that doesn't hurt your muscles,amd eat plenty of fish fruits and veggies.When you get better I 've got a couple bows for you to skin.

What a run of bad luck, you have a great attitude about it though.  I totally sympathize with the back issues...been there, had the surgery, constant struggle.

Hope the future picks up, you've had enough bad luck you should be due for some good...

David,
 Your story just cracked me up but felt the pain cause I've been there with the back problems L5 S1 with hardware still in, two buldging disks 2 and 3 and a reattached right hand from a log splitter...Tentions removed from my left leg to get feeling in my hand,hernia,and another operation..The freezer problem I had a few times and that will just down right "Make you loose your groceries from your gut pouch"....Best thing to do is COWBOY UP and get deeper boots or chest waders cause like you said s@#$ keeps happening...God Bless and that's why we have T.P. to clean up all the mess...   :thumbsup:

Even with a bad back and a rotten freezer you have managed to remind me that in reality I have it good.

I pray for relief for your back...and that soon you can get to know your new bow...

Thanks brother.   :campfire:  
Well that about says it all right there. There's been times when i've had my share of  "s@#$ happens" And sometimes ya wonder how much more you can take......... Sounds like you can take more then I can, thats for sure.

You have redefined the term S#*t Happens...wish the baser for ya, and you have a great attitude regardless of what has happened to you, and that is half the battle!

Man David you have been riding a rough road over the last few months for sure.  I am even more grateful you found the time and energy to send me the antler burrs.  Keep the positive attitude.  Let me know if there is anything you need.  Keep plugging along, hopefully you are over the hump.

I do feel for you. I have watch my wife go through what you are going through the last few years. I would not wish it apon anyone. I know we have went enough in medical bills to buy a few customs bows and a good trip to Alaska. The money lost is really nothing in comparison to how much it has affected our day to day life. Best wishes on getting to shoot your bow.

Dang! enough is enough, just remeber what doesnt kill us only makes us stronger. Pain is weakness leaving the body! Been in some of the same before, turn to your pasions to get your mind off the bad sh##. I wish you the best on your recovery and with your award winning attitude youll be fine, what else can you do. If you lived a little closer I would come over and shhot that tip for you and you could watch out the window.  :goldtooth:

David just make sure your healed up, your very young yet and all the work will be waiting for you when you are well.  I wish you the best and hope your back gets better.  Thanks for posting.
