You could always fly the friendly skies lol
I do fairly often. Been to a couple of GTGs that way.
What is wrong with the hip?
If it is wore out a replacement hip joint is worth the trouble. Everyone that has one replaced says they would have done it sooner if they knew how good it feels/works.
It hurts. And I don't want anyone fughin with it.

I guess I am not paying attention, probably because I haven't flown in over 2 years and have no plans to fly in the immediate future, so I was not aware of this little tidbit

We were flying multiple multiple times a year for the past 25 years, even throughout the whole Covid debacle, but after selling out in Hawaii I have had absolutely no desire to go anywhere that I can't drive to in a few hours

We are planning to go to Iceland, Scotland, and Norway for our 50th anniversary in a couple of years so hopefully the situation has improved

In the meantime, I am earthbound
Think it's safe to fly to Alaska for some fly fishing? Asking for a friend

You will feel differently when you are yelling when you move and can't walk.
I was house bound for a week in pain and i watched my hardheaded mother crawl up the stairs crying because she didn't want to have it replaced.
The doctor said you will call him when you are ready BUT don't wait till you break something cause that is much harder to fix and longer to heal.

As a plus you get to drop your pants to show off your scar.

Too far. My hip and long drives are incompatible these days.
A motor home and a driver's cap for The Bubba should take care of that.

FedEx dick dropped off a cane I ordered for when my leg acts up.

I would gave helped with metal, but not with shingles. I did the roof on our old house before we sold it. 12/12 pitch with 3 dormers. Never touching another shingle again. Ever!

I would have instantly said yes a few months ago, but then the sides of the 737s that Alaska Airlines flies started popping open and stuffs

I was honestly worried when the boss flew down to Eugene in May

In the summer I think Delta flies here but the rest of the year you don't have much choice

Plus I didn't know you had any friends...

:stick:

Well, spent a bit over 6 hours in the Cat 299 but it went well today. Made the dry run, that kept spilling over, twice as wide. Also separated out all the boulders to line the bank with, and then used the rest of the fill where needed. Turned out pretty good I think..IMG_9669.jpegIMG_9671.jpegIMG_9677.jpeg
