No, Dusty.  We believe you about the wallaby.  It's Tex and Beaver that we doubt.

 Are you suggesting that they are both mythical creatures ?

A distinct possibility.

A distinct possibility.

Naw, we don't think they are mythical creatures, but there is some suspicion that their creatures are mythical.

Got a call from Ken yesterday.  Missed it, but he left a message.  He says he walked a thousand feet (he didn't say if those were regular feet or his size 16 feet) and that he's got the free use of one arm now.  He's graduating from a heavy PT regimen to more regular activities.  He says all the credit goes to Georganne, but I suspect that he doesn't want to be upstaged by the wallaby.  As always, he joked a lot in the message and sounded very positive.  He says God has blessed him with good friends and a smooth recovery.  I agree.

[ITSec]

He says... he's got the free use of one arm now.

Does he have to pay to use the other? Maybe we could send up some crowdfunding...

Oh -- now I get it.  He told me they were removing his pecan, which had me going in a completely nother direction.   

 . . .and speaking of purses, did he mention the wallaby?  With the big dinner coming up tomorrow and Tex not being able to scrape up the traditional possum, I'm getting nervous for any marsupials within reach.

 Hoppy is safe , or will be if he stops climbing on Beaver's bed when she goes to work

So will Tex.   

Thinking it over, Hoppy has no worries.  I was there for Thanksgiving last year.  All Tex's possum recipes start with

"1)  After reinflating and disinfecting, ensure that all road debris and bone fragments are removed." 

Tex is a well squared-away sailor.  He goes by the numbers.    He'd never get past that first step with Hoppy, so the others won't happen.

Good to see you posting on the forum Ken.  Richard Thibideaux and I wanted to visit but thought you were being inundated with visitors, phone calls etc.  We thought it best to visit some other time and no invade your healing time.

Just got a call from Ken, what an uplifting experience, especially to hear his sense of humor in spite of being squashed. that man is an inspiration!

 Yeah , Ken is an inspiration for sure , spoke to him yesterday , a-laugh-a-minute  Did he mention that Hoppy the Wallaby is keeping Wilson the Cat honest ?

 Dusty

[azguzzirep]

I'm really happy Ken is feeling better. Ain't seen him since the  Grass Valley national, probably, but I still consider him my friend.

HANG IN THERE, KEN! Put on one of those ugly shirts if yours, and give 'em hell!!!

Tom, The first few weeks were not the best and visitors would have wanted a refund . Still lots of work to make the left arm as long as the right. .

Doc sez no cigars. I want the 14 bones to heal so the cigars are safe in the humidors.

I'm a very thankful man after going to the Dallas VA few weeks ago. If your dandruff is causing deep trama....visit a VA hospital.

That's a very good point, Tex.
