Broken Ankle
Last Friday I was guiding an ATV tour. While ascending a hill my ATV got hung up so I hopped off. As soon as I hit the ground the client behind me hit and ran over me. On Monday I had surgery on my left ankle. Then Doc put 2 screws in it. The Doc said it would be about 6 weeks until I can ride again....I guess my season ended early this year.
1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

Man, that sucks. I know the feeling I had my right ankle crushed in an accident about 15 years ago. The docs put in 4 screws but only 2 ever came back out, I've got permanent hardware. Put your leg up and relax man, at least you'll get to spend more time with us, LOL.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
Dang man. That's terrible!!! I'm glad it wasn't worse than an ankle. Is the guy's hide on your wall?
The up side is you get to spend LOT'S of time on Wilderness-Survival. I hear that's a pretty cool place!!

Sorry, neighbor......I could take that new .338 Win. Mag. on daily walks for you, shuck'o gee'wiz ....just trying to help. Ever notice you break your legs during hunting season. I think the Moose and Sheep have it in for you.
yeah thats gotta suck right before the season at least its only one ankel it could be worse
that's terrible man. we all know that all it takes to put you out is one little mistake, but i keep forgetting the one that does it doesn't have to be your own. take care of the foot and for the love of god stay off of it for the whole duration. i know too many people who's 6-8 week heal-up turned into a year because they couldn't let it heal.
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice - Grey's Law.

klkak, sorry to hear that. hope it heals up fine and you have no future problems with it. my right ankle has always been weak. i can't remember how many times i've sprained it. luckly never a break. good luck
A man full of grits is a man full of peace.
man that sucks, good thing thats all that happened, i mean getting ran over is kinda serious. hope everything heals fine and you have a quick recovery.
Get well soon. Tourists! Can't live without em, can't shoot em.
Sorry to hear that.
Was that a city slicker doofus with no experience on a 4-wheeler, or was it really an accident?
klkak,OUCH,I know what a broken ankle feels like,it ain't fun. I think you did the right thing getting the hardware,I refused to let them put screws in mine,and it took 18 weeks to heal without putting weight on it.

Can't shoot 'em? (writing quickly....must...not...shoot...tourists...got it!) Thanks for that CrashOriginally Posted by crashdive123

Get well, hopefully you'll be back in the saddle soon.

Sorry to hear that, hope you get better and get out for the hunting season ends up there.
Thanks for all the encouragement guys and Nell. My boss is bringing out the Workmans comp paper work tomorrow. I hate doing paperwork!
Thanks for your thoughtfulness Hopeak. I had a long talk with the new .338 and it understands that it has to be patient. Once I'm healed I will take it on many Alaska adventures. Besides it ain't finished yet. Still gotta buy and install the scope as well as get a laminated stock for it. I really like the looks of it so far with the shorter bbl and Remington express sights.

Well, be that way then.....I'll just walk my Wentworth Mauser Mark X .375 H&H
Big Gun show Oct. 11, & 12th at the State Fair grounds in Palmer.
Did you say if you were going with the German #4 or the Duplex......?
Bad luck Klkak.....hope you get better soon! Tourist!!!!!there ought to be a law against them! (how come you're not allowed to shoot em?? seems very unfair!)
Walk softly upon the earth!
I suppose as long as you have their credit card information already it would be OK.....local chamber of commerece would probably put some unrealistically low bag limits on you though.
At least put the ATV on a bungee cord for some fun!
"From NY, huh? Okay. This is the throttle. Just open that puppy up and let her rip."
Vrrrrroooooooomm!
"Honey, does he know about the bungee cord?"
"He will any minute now."
