Deer tick bite.

In my short time here (40 years). Ive lived way more than most of the normal city folks im around now and i cant thank my folks enough for that.

The down side of that is ive taken my fair share of hard hits.

10 years getting paied to slide on snow in areas most folks will never see.
Motorcycles, dirt bikes..
Got smooshed by a few hundred pounds of steel falling out of the sky.
When i was younger we always said "I'd rather live hard, get hurt now and live the dream before we get old and it really hurts."

Well guess now im old beacuse im worried about getting hurt......
Still ticking but serious joint pain is something i will live with from now till the end. i dont want to make it worse if i can help it.

But hell if it is a dang little bug off the dog on the couch next to me then i count my self lucky to have had a great time, a great lady and and a few awesome dogs.
