What did you do today?

I love a good Chiropractor debate, lol.

My friend’s dad was a chiropractor so I grew up quite versed in the whole chiropractic stuff. Fast forward several years and I’m in the Navy and dislocated 2 vertebrae on a Sunday afternoon playing football on the base. It’s awful pain and I get a free ride, standing up, in an ambulance to the base hospital.

I get X-rays and they put me in a room. I wait for about 45 minutes with nobody coming in. Finally a nurse comes in and shuts the door. She asks me if I’ve ever been to a chiropractor and I answer in the affirmative. She then puts my X-ray up on the viewer and I get to see the 2 veteran kicked off to the right. Not cool.

She tells me that I will be there all night and in traction waiting till tomorrow when someone will recommend surgery. The she tells me that I haven’t even been admitted yet and that the Senior Chief Corpsman at sick call is a Chiro our in town and she works for him. She asks me if I would be willing to walk out, go see him in the morning at 0600 and let him take care of me.

Heck yeah I would. So I slowly make my way back to my barracks. I couldn’t even raise my arms high enough to take my shirt off, lol. Next morning I’m at Sick Call, meet the Senior Chief and he has me lay on the table while he proceeds to ball his fist up, slide it under my back and push down on me over my crossed arms. “POP!”........

More startling than painful, but I instantly felt the relief. I sat up and he put me through a few mobility excersises, which I passed with flying colors, then handed me some Motrin and sent me on my way.

I was in Nuclear Power School at the time and made it class on time and feeling fine.

I get that people have no and even negative results from chiropractors, but to say it’s quackery is tad bit obtuse, IMHO.
 
I'm going to see my chiropractor after work today. I tell him when I will see him again..

A lot of letters after a name are not necessarily going to help you the most.
 
Back to the chiropractor, when you find a good one man it worth every cent of the copay.
I used to get back spasms about three times a year. My doctor prescribed five different pills and none work for me.
Then she prescribed one, a caffeine compound called NORGESIC. It works.
Everyone I ever gave one to swore they work. If you need a back pill try this. No generic substitute.
I was taking these in my 20s into my 30s when I met a chiropractor in my new town. He prescribed a heel lift in my right shoe and I have never taken another back pill since. No more spasms for over 20 years.
As God is my witness.
 
It wasn't really today but the wife and I took the dogs and went remote camping over the weekend at one of the spots I camp for hunting. She was nice enough to let me get out and engage in some offseason Hangtime in the mornings. I was also lucky enough to have a bachelor group walk by on Saturday morning and stand around and pose for me so I could get some self filming practice in. This is something I definitely need, it's certainly not as easy as some make it look. :coldsweat:

They walked in by me at about 20 yds and then hung out around 35 yds away. Always nice to see bucks.

 
Great video @boyne bowhunter! I enjoyed it a lot. Made me wanna climb a tree. Looks like your video skills have improved quite a bit since last year. Just finished up modding my new 20" Heliums. Amsteel daisy chains to hang em,Stealth stripped and amsteel aiders. Double from Dano on the bottom stick and singles for the rest. 20' exactly to the top of the 4th stick. Just right:) I made the daisy chains and three aiders myself too. Being it's my first year in a saddle (40 years up a tree though) I'm having a blast fiddling with my gear and getting a system down. This is FUN.
 
Just ordered 40' of oplux, scout platform, and some other misc goodies from @DanO, super nice guy can't wait for a reason to give him more of my money.

Hopefully my 1 stick will be battle ready soon. Why is this so much fun, I haven't even hunted out of it yet

I agree, this is fun. I'd been deer hunting over 40 years when the saddle hunting bug caught me. I've always lived to hunt but it was starting to get a little stale. I have to say this "fun" has really rejuvenated my hunting. I love to get out and climb trees and go hunting again. Turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks. :tearsofjoy:
 
Bought some ammo for 25% off from our local gun store. Got some skeet shells, sabots for my new 20ga pump because it won’t likely be banned. And some 20 ga shells for turkeys and geese. I usually use a 12 ga. But I wanted a 20 ga in case any of my 12 ga get banned.


Our prime minister banned 1500 types guns so that great gun shop is going out business.
May God save our country from Trudeau, he has cancelled parliament until September but Walmart is open. We have a dictator here.

I tore the deck off a jon boat, replaced a tire on the trailer, and fixed a junked up ignition switch on the motor. About to load 'er up and see how she do.

Last weekend I repainted another boats trailer and greased the hubs. Not sure why I ever decided I wanted something "better" than an aluminum canoe...

What are 20 ga shotguns like compared to 12 ga for turkeys geese and deer. Simple question but I have always hunted with 12 ga shotguns until now. None of my 12 ga are banned yet according to Bill Blair but according to the way the law is written they are.
I bought a 20 ga just in case they get banned

The gun stores have to return many guns that are banned to distributors at a loss

I picked up a 20ga slug gun & one for turkeys as well years ago for my kids to ease them in a bit. I take that slug gun out every deer season & haven’t found a reason to pick up my 12ga turkey gun ever again! I’m not saying they’ll have the same knockdown power. But they’re a lot better to carry.....
 
Let's see...went to the alteration shop...had them modify my Heater body suit so that I can wear my saddle inside the suit with it zipped up. Added slits on either side of the main zipper with two heavy duty zippers and had them cut the feet off and put shock cord around the feet so that I can tighten them up on the stand.

Then I bought a 2020 Excalibur 400 TD assassin. Now I just need to sell my Ten point shadow NXT.
