Yesterday we had strong winds here in Maryland. Leaves from the hardwoods piled deep around the steps into the house. I walk out of the house, slipped on the slick pile of leaves. Crawled back in house, wife drives me to Emergency Room. Torn ligaments in left ankle. Thank God nothing broken or hit steps with head or neck. Keep those leaves off steps, slick as ice. Tomorrow is "Youth Day" for junior hunters, I've got to strap myself up and take my 12 year old to the deer stand at O530hrs.
It looks like a Percocet morning.

Mr. Sam,
Keep it taped and you should be fine. I understand a rake works really good on those leaves. Ask Wally, he actually rakes the leaves of the branches. If your boy bags a deer, I have a really good venison jerky recipe. Will trade recipe for some of the finished product. Take care.
Best REgard's,

"Remember when we could dump a bike at 35 mph and get back on it to go get some band-aids?"
hell ya! I DONE THAT!!!!!! I'm lucky so far... I've only broken fingers. however... one of them doesn't work very well... been two years and it's only slightly better. and the other one healed up real nice. it's kinda deformed, but functional. split it in half this summer. note. "when heading towards the sidewalk face first, using the right ring finger as a primary defence is not a wise decision. smeared my glasses all over the pavement..." then I asked someone for a ride to the hospital and they started screaming and they called 911 and I got a ride to the hospital. and when I got there I got a lecture about bikes and helmets. but 5 months later I'm as good as new. I am so glad I'm young.
