    Yesterday, on the way home from the cardiologists, I stopped to say howdy to some new neighbors. Turns out the guy is a pretty cool dude. Anyway, he was getting ready to go out and apply fertilizer on his food plots and I told him that if he wanted his food plots tilled, give me a call and I'd come over with the tractor and till them for him. We ended up talking for an hour and the result was, when he's ready to till, I'll drive the tractor over and he'll use it and put diesel in it. In return, I get to bow hunt his property! I'll post pics in a little bit, but I'm stoked! That puts me up to 960 acres of land I now have access to! 880 acres I have exclusive rights to during bow season and that 120 will only be this guy and me. Getting better all the time. Now all I gotta do is get my ticker in order to be there for the hunts!

    You listen to your doctors and your body. Don't push it!!!

    I had a scare myself about 7 weeks ago...
    Had a heavy chest for a few weeks with occasional sharp pains a few times a day.
    Then it started to move into my arms and neck for 4 or 5 days. I started to get a little nervous when it changed to almost
    every hour, along with dizziness, etc..
    So I called the doctor and he told me to go straight to the emergency room and "why did you wait that long"???!!!

    Tests for the next 24 hours and I came out with a clean bill of health!!!

    All I could think of was my 2 1/2 year old son and not growing up with a father. Thank God everything seems all right.
    Stress is a powerful thing and my lesson is not to sweat the small stuff.
    Everything in life is small, considering the end result that could have happened.
    Let's all smell the roses more often....

    There's more deer to be killed, but we need to be above the dirt to do it!

    I'm guilty of not going In when I should, I hate hospitals, clinics, etc! Glad It turned out good for ya bud.

    Good luck on this new land Mark!! All of the acres of land you got has got to make you feel pretty damn good, I wish I had half of them acres. Take care of yourself Mark!!

    Good luck on the land. Get yourself back in shape. There really is no price on good health.
