Back in the Saddle - flygoddess - 08-08-2014 July 5th I had a bad bicycle accident and shattered my left elbow. I had surgery on the 9th and now packing some metal. All good because July was so hot! But August 5th I had Xrays and all is healing up great. Arm is stiff as heck and I can't straighten it or bend it more than 45 degree, but I can strip line and hold a rod while netting with right. Gave it a try today and landed this 28". Missed two others and called it a day, but it is nice to be back at it.

[signature] Re: [Tarponjim] Back in the Saddle - flygoddess - 08-09-2014 Thanks Jim. Gave me a chance to get the Drifter customized. Now I am ready to use it. Rowing will be a ways off yet. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Back in the Saddle - Catcherman. - 08-09-2014 Nice!! Is that rod boo? [signature] Re: [Catcherman.] Back in the Saddle - flygoddess - 08-09-2014 Not just Boo, but "Sweetgrass" (a long wished dream come true) And it is a quad. Built specially for me. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Back in the Saddle - Tarponjim - 08-10-2014 Oh, that is "sweet." I've been wanting a rod from those guys for a while. Have stopped in at Twin Bridges a couple times and nearly drooled to death. [signature] Re: [Tarponjim] Back in the Saddle - flygoddess - 08-10-2014 I know, right!

I've also got into some "trophy" LM at Pineview this Saturday. So I've bought the Kraken [] JR Carp here I come! [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Back in the Saddle - DrewT - 08-30-2014 Sheesh... carp on a Sweetgrass bamboo rod is sacrilege if you care about such things! But I don't. Glad you are back in the dle. Are you rowing yet? [signature] Re: [DrewT] Back in the Saddle - flygoddess - 08-30-2014 I am in therapy, but I can't do the pressure thing just yet. I did ride my bike, but the bumps hurt while holding the handlebars. Thanks [signature]
