Knee injuries are no fun, seem to stay alot longer than others. I tore my ACL snowboarding 3 years ago and still hurts time to time.
I don't even think about it.....and at this rate you and I are going to need walkers in our 60's.

You kids would not believe the aches and pain I endure with my knees and hip joints. I guess I am paying for a lot of stuff I did in my earlier life but Aleve helps to endure the pain.

There is a big tree right out side my master bedroom. About 2 months ago there was this god awful bird that would start gawking around 3am. Sounded like some foreign extinct jungle pterodactyl mating call. I had no clear shot with the daisy without hitting the town homes across the way so I borrowed a co workers blow dart gun as not to arouse suspicion from the hippie neighbors.
I havent shot a blow dart gun since I was 12... missed the damn thing 3 days in a row... hard to see in the dark. 4th day I got a direct hit.

One thing I wasnt thinking about was a dart doesnt kill the bird. He flew in a spiral down into the neighbors yard making that god awful death cry. So I ran downstairs, jumped the fence, stomped on the bird, picked him up, jumped back over the fence and threw him in the garbage. Close call... but I got the damn thing.

Toyz lol. Your lucky you didn't get shot.

I can't imagine seeing some dude stomping a bird to death in my back yard while holding a rifle and in his skibbies, at that time in the morning.

Well, I have a old Red Ryder, it could get interesting....
