Glad to hear you are on the mend. You are fortunate to have such capable help to run the operation during your absence.

Hang in there Soap,
West Nile is one of my pet peeves , years ago when it showed up in NYC they started spraying then stopped spraying then targeted spraying . They should have stopped it there with one big spray project ...

Wishing you a speedy recovery Steve.
Maybe it's time you moved the Spearhead outfit north. Lots of bugs here but no West Nile. Yet....

Thinking about you and hoping for a steady recovery for you, Soapweed. That's a nasty dose to deal with.

hope you get well soon Soapweed :!:
Certainly glad you're recovering, Mr. Soapweed. The Huffington Post reports that the spread of West Nile virus is likely linked to climate change. LOL. I thought you may be interested to know that. What is the purpose of being upside down?

Thanks for the humorous update. We'll be happy when you are back in the saddle again.
Wish we were closer so we could help out at the ranch.

I hadn't seen where Soap was sent and as I was going through Valentine today I called Soap. He sounded pretty good for being in the sick pen but Sottsbluff was a long way out of the way. Get well soon 
Good to hear things are improving for you, Soapweed. There is another cowboy cartoonist/writer down in the Badlands who has been on that miserable track lately. Sure hope the 'season' is about over for the year. Even better would be if definite prevention and cure would be found.
I feared I had it early in August and was told they aren't allowed to test for it until the patient has been sick for two weeks. Some of the treatment may be antibiotics anyway, as that is what they gave me. Didn't help me, since I had a bleeding ulcer which caused upset in blood chemistry which in turn caused a mild heart attack. After a 'ground' ambulance ride and five days in Rapid City hospital, two stents, and a BIG package of prescriptions, all is improving except for return of any energy I may have had before the illness. Hasn't helped for the docs to tell me "you are not as young as you used to be".......something I had noticed, especially since I turned 70 a few years ago.
I can second the point that having a good family at home to pick up the slack is a major bonus of a family ranch.
Reading that Jody is not progressing well, I sure hope everyone else stays out of that 'sick pen' and keeps the injuries limited to hangnails!
