Keith,

My prayers are with you my friend, I hope that things will get better for you soon. I fought health issues for some time also that made me unable to tackle excessive hiking like I use to do. I've since been going through some problems within my family that have really hit me hard. I started back to church and got my son going which is helping. I will keep you in my prayers. I am hoping that all will turn out well with what we are dealing with soon and that life will return to somewhat normal at which time I want to get out and go digging myself. Got allot of places to look. Maybe if all settles down, you and I can get together and do some digging. I'm just taking it all day by day right now. Well....take care Keith and I will keep you in our prayers here my friend.

I feel for you, Keith, and I'm very sorry to hear what you are going through.
It does sound like getting out and scratching around would be good for you.
This time of year Sundays is about the only day I got,
but I'll send you a PM with what some options are around here.

Hang in there man,
Joe

Hi guys,

Thanks for the support and prayers. It is probably best to wait until hunting season is over. I've been shot at twice. The last time I was sitting in my truck after checking my mail. My passenger side window exploded and the bullet hit the windshield frame. I guess an old Mazda B2000 pickup looked like a deer. The police said I need to be more careful checking my mail. I never found out who shot at me.

Come spring I would like to meet up and talk rocks. I just need to work on getting my mind right now. That will take time.

Thanks again, Keith
