McRae’s anyone?
 

Just spoke with the office and there’s plenty of availability weekend of 9/18. Scallop season closes 9/24. No group discounts this time of year and the Gator Room is now $150/nite. Ramps have been packed on the weekends last 30 days so there must be some out there. Thought it might be an easy gathering since we’ve been there before and our last couple gatherings have been cancelled. I guess if we did a group dinner we could lift our masks between bites. KC Crumps across the river is open and takes reservations to insure proper social distancing. What’ya think?

I’d be in for sure! Love that place!

Casey, you da man !! Lets do-it... Blondie & i are in !!

My daughter is due with our first granddaughter 9/18.........you know the answer.

Congrats on your new granddaughter. Understand completely, Teresa and I welcomed our first grandchild recently. Hope everything goes well. Catch you on the next one.

Thank you! Me too.

Hate to be a wimp, however there is not a chance in hell the wife will want to go with the China virus crap going on!!! It sucks!

We currently have plans to be in Puerto Rico that weekend, so I'm out unless COVID messes up the PR plan.

Let's make this thing happen! Thanks for the heads-up Casey!
Don-Maybe Russia has the new vaccine to cure the China Virus by then!!



Congrats Old'sCool!! Officially another old dude.....I'm not too far behind you!

I love that place.

The timing may be off a bit. Maybe shoot for October and fish instead?

November?

Patti & I were ready to go until this past Tuesday, while I was waxing the brow on the Seafari and had a slip and fall from the second wrung of the ladder I was on !! Yep, you guessed it broken left hip...:eek:
Laid up in hospital watching Fox news...

Damn! Hate to hear that! Hope you heal quickly!

Damn Bro, Sorry to hear that. Recover quick!

Michael.

You might have to get Patti to bring you a slash to stay 'warm and comfortable'! Hey, get her to call Bushwacker and see if he has a bit of Pappy you could get. That is a miracle elixir!

That really sucks Ken...seems that all the accidents happen at home. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Dang Ken - you should of had them replace it since it’s broken. All kidding aside, hope your recovery goes well. McRae’s not getting much traction, so don’t think you’ll be missing anything. Get well.

Sorry NoBones
 

Hey Ken- sorry to hear about your accident. At least you didn't hit your head and start watching a fake news network Speedy recovery my friend.

This Time it was a Bone
 

Hey Ken,


Keep this up and you'll be a bionic man in no time. Hope you're up and about in short order.


Barry

wow, that sucks, I'll get my speedy recovery voodoo doll out and start the healing vibe...

fwiw, I've been working on my new to me 77 MA and have been in and out of the boat via ladder at least 500 times in this last few weeks. I never think about slipping, instead I'm mindlessly focused on what ever task at hand. I'll definitely take your mishap as a reminder to slow down. I'm no spring chicken anymore either, taking a slip or fall would not be fun.

get well soon

Thanks guys for all the well wishes and phone calls !!
This is a nasty thing to have happen ... Never ever thought at 66 would be in that category. The part I feel so foolish about, it was from the second step of an 8 ft fiberglass ladder up against the bow rail of the Seafari..
I mean what are we talking 18 inches ? Wet feet in Crocs and sweating in side
my barn with fans blowing... Ooops, slip completely go horizontal to the deck !
Thunk, crack !!
Just that fast I passed out from pain and could not get-up (Here we go )
This was around 1:30 Tuesday afternoon. Thank God Lil' Kenny just happen to stop by and found me shortly after as I was trying to at least get my self in a chair... 911, EMT's could not find me cause' we do not exist on GPS..
Kenny hopped on 4 wheeler to guide them in...

This is some bad ass pain if you want to know !

Ken,

Sorry to hear about your fall, what a bummer.

Here's to a quick recovery!

Take care.

Lloyd

and I was thinking about getting some crocs...everyone else has them

Try Merrells
 

I recently bought Merrell (tidewater, i think). Recommended by a friend who was a volunteer for Palm Beach County Sheriff Marine Patrol. Part of their uniform. Good traction, light weight, drain holes and better support than crocs. They are fast becoming one of my favorite shoes. Ordered them online- might have been through REI.

Correction:
The great boat shoes are Merrell Tideriser Sieve. Aptly named, lots of drain holes! Says Hydromorph on side of sole near heel and Vibram near toe.

They have a canvas boat shoe as well. Been wearing them for years. Plenty of traction.

Sorry to just hear of the tumble Ken as I just got back from a 4 day trip. Stay positive and do what the doctors tell you. Welcome to Team Titanium.

Amen Mr. Moose.

How is your shoulder?

99% overall with zero pain. As with any prosthetic joint there are some physical/operational differences as well as some slight movement limitations, but nothing I would trade for the pain and discomfort I had prior. I can't even imagine how terrible quality of life would be without the modern medical advancements in joint replacements. A few days ago I was spearfishing in 280' like I was 15 years ago.

Sign me up for ankles and heels please.

What is your bottom time at 280?

2 minutes of shooting with minimal deco time. Can usually squeeze in 4 dives at that depth a day.

Ken, very sorry to hear about your fall. I hope you get better soon.

Most impressive Mr Moose.

He's doing his rehab now. A good patient so far...

Any one still doing this thing? I was supposed to be out of town this weekend, but those plans changed and thinking I may run up there sat afternoon ish.

Never got any traction. Maybe next year.

ok thanks
