Boy I had a good day Wed. I know you want to hear this.
Dec 1st I decided to try some new hearing aids, that are hidden in your ear right next to the ear drum. Wore them until 8 days ago. Just not enough power for this old boys hearing loss, I'm their #1 patient in fact as far as bad hearing. Sounds good huh. Had an appointment wed. to get some different ones with a lot of power. Power is king, right.
So we go through many different models until we decide. $6,700 of choice. Hope they help. She would not let me pay until we decide that they work for me. Go home and fix a late lunch, sit in my chair and eat watching the news and my bite felt different when I closed my mouth.
Top tooth, right was a 50 year old root canel and crown. Sucker just fell off. Broken tooth. Chit, damn
So go to dentist yesterday and find out one crown and rod in the jaw is in my near future. Have no idea of the cost. Figure 6,000 up to 8,000 total I guess. Pick up a retainer with false front tooth next week to use for the next two months or so while healing from rod placed in my upper jaw.
So you guys what ever has happened are doing good.
I was thinking , set up surgery the week after hog hunt to get the rod implanted. Pick up hearing aids the week before the hog hunt.
They called me two days after the hunt to get my preferences of cuts and processing. The meat arrived about a week later. It was expensive, about $500 total for processing and shipping, but delicious.
I've had several Axis butchered by those folks. They're excellent.
If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated
The story really started when I was 14 playing hardball. Missed a catch and hit my tooth instead. Killed the tooth in fact. So that is where the root canal and crown came from.
Question for the out of state folks who've driven in. Has anybody had dead pork processed locally and done quickly enough to pick up on the way out of Texas?
I haven't had mine processed locally, but after they quarter it at camp I bone it out, bag it, ice it and haul it home in the cooler..3 day trip....The meat is excellent by the way...
I will doing that this time. Do you think the meat will last four days if I keep the ice fresh?
When I did my long haul elk trips I placed dry ice in the bottom of the chest, thick newspaper, meat, newspaper, dry ice. I sealed the lid with duct tape and found all well 3 - 4 days later.
I get home from Equador mid-day Sunday. I need to load up on Monday and get to the range. I am thinking I may try and blood a 280 of mine, weather permitting. That, my M71, Ruger 35 Whelen, Win M94 45 Colt and my 500 Linebaugh if a decent shot presents itself.
