Rain, Rain and more Rain.

Rain has come to the Sacramento Valley once again,and summer is officially over and in comes's the winter. So lets see what has happened in the last month or so. I went Deer hunting with mike from Work and was not successful once again this year. I have been relining on Mike naibors how have hunt in Nor Cal. a lot longer then Mike and I. you would think that they would know some good areas to go to. They had all decided to go to an area called Meadow lake which is just north of Trukee. The camp there a lot durning the summer and know the area well. Mike drove up on Thursday and I drove up on Friday. When I got there, there was a ton of people camping there and Hunting as well. Opening weekend was a little scary with so many people out, I Made sure to ware as much hunter Orange as I could get my hands on. With so many people there, their was way to much presser on the deer and they were not moving at all. I did see any deer for the first three days. I started to ask the other guys in the group if they had had any success in this area and come to find out none of them had kill anything at all annoyware in Cal. so I have decided to do my own scouting this summer and find an area that I think will work or not even put in for a tag next year and go Elk hunt with Dad next year. I was vary disappointed in the trip. I can home on Tuesday and spent a few days with Trisha and had a wonderful couple of days at home with her. I had convinced her to go back to meadow lake with me and the Pup's. At first she didn't want to but she got excited about taking the Pup's camping. We drove up on Friday and got our tent set up just in time for the rain to set in and once it started it didn't stop. It rained and rained and rained. We went to bed around 7:00 pm because of the rain. We put the Dogs in our sleeping bags because it was a bit on the cold side at night and they don't have a lot of hair to keep them warm. It was a long night with little sleep for me and I'm sure Trisha didn't sleep much either. We got up early in the morring and it was still rain so I put Trisha and the Puppy's in the truck and broke camp in the rain, as did the other guys that where up there with us. On the way out of Meadow lake we were flagged down by another truck and told that there was and RV stuck in the mud on the road out and we would not be able to go around them. We drove back to the camp to relay the info to the others still packing up there stuff. and waited for a while and tyred to figger out another way out. There where other roads in and out of the lake but they were in bad shape and anyone pulling a trailer or did not have a big 4X4 could not drive them and make it out. I did not want to risk getting stuck with Trisha and the dogs with me so that was out of the question( Trisha gets nerves driving down a gravel road so 4wheeling was not going to happen). After about an hour we drove back to were this RV was to be stuck at. It had gotten out but left a huge muddy mess Trisha called Mike and told him it was clear and we drove out and waited in a parking lot not far from Hwy 89 for everyone. It was defiantly one of those trips that we wont forget and can laugh about now.

In other new my back is not doing vary well. I'm having terrible pains in my back and down my left leg. My pain Doctor has been giving me more and more med to try and help but I am not getting much better. They want me to see a Nero Surgeon to see if they can take the pressure off the nerve in my back but it is taking so long. The first consult got cancelled by the other Doctor that works at the pain clinic I go to. I don't like him vary well he did the shoot in my back a year ago and then wanted to experiment on me with one of his new toyed he had never used. I didn't like that at all and told him NO. If he See's me in the waiting room and he will grab me and talk to me instead of letting me see the normal person that I have been working with. When he did this last time I was in he really screewed up my referral and messed up my meds. So last time I was in he tried again and I told him No I did not want to see him that Chris was handling it for me not him. He came back and said that he was the Doc and see was a nurse proctioner. I told him I didn't care who he was or was not She was handling my case and I no longer wanted to be see by him. He was not happy about it but I don't care, he messes everything up ever time I see him, and I am tired of it. Chris kept apologising but I told her it's not her fault and I will not see him anymore. She resubmitted the consult for me. The surgeon called and I wont see him for a month, he had no appointment until 2 Dec so for know it's more Drugs and pain. I was hoping to have the surgery if that's what will help durning Dec sense we have Vacation shedualed for Christmas already. I would just tack on another week or two and not worry about work and teaching sense there no classes in Dec. but how know if or when I'll be able to do it know.

Well that's enough winning for today.
