It’s been mentioned many times - prep work for season. Moving this particular stand.

I am very glad Big Ben is feeling better….but he appears to have healed up awfully quickly for the injuries he suffered!

Was wondering if he was pushed.

Lol. Just kidding, I’m glad the big guy is doing well too.

Great news he's bouncing back so quick



My friend talked to Lynn Rollins...and Lynn seeing Ben in that hospital bed said it made him more nervous than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs

He appears to be on a golf course. I was waiting him to pull out a club.

He also said that by next week Ben would be busier than a one legged man in an arse kicking contest.

fell out of stand that high with my wife 8 months pregnant. was still early morning and dark luckilly landed on my right leg mostly (shattered it). after that never left ground without full body harness. very scary falling in dark and not knowing what you are gonna land on.

Yeah we will get off topic here quick with that, but yes I could see how that phrase could irk some people. Did "the Good Lord certainly had a hand in making others with the same falls paralyzed or dead."

Either way, glad he is healing
