Shorty

There are several running around my part of town. I passed a blue one a few months ago. It looked like it was built from Legos.

Maybe it had toxoplasmosis which would make it exhibit odd behavior including lack of fear of a predator

Covers everything other than special permits like Trout and ducks

Does that lead to athlete's butt?

I have the X Ultra 3's wide in a low top. I've used them for trail running and hiking. They work great, even grip well in water / wet rocks. I've read the 4's had a slight design change and are a little bit tighter than the 3's so you might try to find a pair of 3's to try also.

Over the years I've used Merrells, Vasque and Salomons. My wife has used Salomons and Oboz. The Vasque were a little too stiff for me. My Merrell's feel like hiking boots and have good traction and support. My Salomons are like wearing tennis shoes. They are lightweight, great support and awesome traction, even in water. If you have wide feet their selection is limited.

A better solar generator or better panels? The option I looked at had 200w panels or maybe it was two 100w panels, don't really remember.

What size Jackery do you have? I was looking at the 1000 when they were on sale in the fall, but didn't know anyone with first hand experience with them. I thought it might be a nice quiet option.

KRG Bravo is a 12in LOP and they sell a kit to increase it to 14in. Volquartsen has a stock with15in LOP.

That's because Mac was out of gum and lost his paperclip.

Most ppl probably don't realize but your insurance company offers a service to speak with a Case manager that will guide you through the process and help you get the care you need. I have family that works as a Case manager for BCBS, specifically oncology related. It wouldn't hurt to find out what her insurance provides, if nothing else than to answer questions.

I haven't looked into sling style stands, but with bow hunting scent control is even more important due to the proximity. Keep your movements minimal and slow if you can't conceal well while in the saddle. Also take into consideration exit points when aiming since you will be elevated.

I've done that to keep our kids cool to watch fireworks years ago when they were little and couldn't handle a particularly hot July 4th night.

In college, the guys liked to watch the same movies over and over.....and over. One of the movies in rotation was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I walked into the house one day after class while it was on and Shortround was on the screen. Somebody turned around and said something to the effect of "look you're on tv" and they all got a laugh. Being college guys, the name stuck.

I still have many many years before I can retire, but i find day hikes relieve any stress/anxiety and relaxes the mind. There are plenty of easy trails within a hour of your home to try (I'm in the same area). It should help some with the arthritis too.
