Hope your shoulder is not paining you to much.
In our PM's you mentioned you were a lousy cook but you never said if you were on dish washing duty or not. I was wondering if Peach Blossom has started calling you " Dishsoap" yet or maybe just "Dis" for short? :wink:

Gee, that was a slam. :wink: :-) Remember, it's my left arm that went bad so I'm leaning to the right now more that ever. Don't dis me like that.

Today, I'm off to go pick up bulls. I'll see how good of a one-armed driver I can be.
 
I had the old rotator cuff troubles in my right a fee years back-alot of Motrin during A'I season that spring-it was bad enough I didn't bowhunt either and if you know me that wasn't good lol.
 
I can sympathize with arm troubles, Soap. I broke my right arm almost 3 yrs ago. Didn't break it all the way, just a bad crack way up high toward my shoulder. Just had to wear a sling and behave for a few weeks.

There must be some kind of art to learning how to drive a stick shift with only a left arm! Fortunately, I am also "abdominally-abled" and was able to shift with my left arm while momentarily holding the steering wheel with my tummy! :D :D :lol:
 
I've seen my wife drive, shift, talk on the cell phone and drink a coke all at the same time. Needless to say, it scares the heck out of me.

Soapweed it had nothing to with your leanings it was just that you might be DIsagreeable to doing DISHES. :wink:
 
Geez a gimpy shoulder is only bothersome: a local cattle trucking company has a one armed driver; he just loves to ratchetjaw on the radio, other drivers claim he doesn't even miss a syllable even in stop and go city driving, turning, shifting or whatever..........he keeps that arm going pretty busy!! :shock: :lol:

You mean driving, shifting, talking on the phone, changing the radio station and putting on makeup is a problem? :wink: I thought it was multi-tasking..........
 
A Ford dealer in The Dalles has a Service Manager that is basically one armed. One day it was raining hard and I was going through, so I called and asked if I could poull in to get my wipers changed. I just didn't want to fight it in the storm. He hesitates and then says, "Ya, just come on in."

So I pull in and he he comes himself. He puts the left side ones on, then goes to the right side. He says, can you hold this end as this side is a bit harder for me. He snaps it in just as easy as could be. I thot ofall the times I fought this with two good arms and was flat out amazed....


They are also a good shop if you are travelin and need something. I sometimes know I am not going to make it to the Willamette Valley before Rush hour, so I will call in and set up for them to take care of items that are due,

We use to have a delivery guy who brought axels and parts for trailers he had 1 arm he could pick up a 6000# axel with one arm with the springs mounted they weigh about 200#s.
I use to work with a guy who had no arms just 2 of those hooks he could do most anything quite a guy.

I'll have to remember that the next time I have my hands over my eyes when I'm riding with her. :lol:
 
Knew a man that only had part of one hand, and a hook on the other. Should see that man reach in his pocket with the partial hand, pull out a palm full of change, and count it out with the hook. Amazin what people faced with that sorta thing can do. Hook was on his right arm....he could shoot a mean game of pool too. (where ya thank he got that pocket fulla change?) LOL
 
Used to be a Deputy Sheriff over in the Sidney or Glendive area that had lost both hands (Vietnam I think)...Anyway he had two hook type clamps for hands-- could do about anything anyone else could...

He was a fantastic pistol shot- he had two grooves cut into the grips of his revolver for the clamps to fit- pulled the trigger with his off hand clamp...And they say if he ever grabbed you with those crab like clamps you'd be screaming uncle mighty fast.....
