Although one time I was riding my mule and I released the vacuum on the leg ( that's how it is held on) and the foot came out of the stirrup and the lady that looked at the leg and boot fall to the ground just about had a I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER HEMORRAGE. :-laf

Too funny man.



I think I asked you before. Do you get the ghost limb syndrome? I have a buddy with a missing digit and he always says it hurts, even though it's not there.

Ya mine BURNS LIKE FIRE but I can be in water or in the snow it just burns like it did when it happened. I don't really remember to much of what happen they got me in the copter and the military HAD NO PROBLEMS ADMINERSTING DRUGS if they wanted you to have them. I just remember the two guys TRYING TO GET ME IN THE COPTER AND MISSING SEVERAL TIMES FACE FIRST and thinking come guys this is starting to sting a little. Next thing I can recall is being in Ramstein AFB Germany and my Mom giving a FULL BIRD COL. HELL FOR THE WAY HER BABY LOOKED.

Wow.....



What caused the dismemeberment? Explosion? Accident?



My buddy literally had his limb smeared off. He never let's it slow em down, though. He "b i t c h e s" a lot but in return I never show him simpathy. Somehow, I thinks he appreciates that.

Explosion is what they thought the way it was torn off not like a bullet I guess they can tell a difference all I know is it wasn't there. Its what I get for being the Bad A** and taking the front hole and a bunch of ammo and two 60's and thinking I was some kind of BAD/ Moron is more like I was lucky as hell. Doctors said get a desk job because you will be limited MY THOUGHT WAS BULL I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER!!!!!!!!

Mr. BIGNASTY,



For quite awhile, now, I've been reading as many of your posts as I can find. Your posts are a combination of being funny, informative as to a life I'm not very familiar with but, find fascinating, viewpoints that are full of common sense, posts on weapons that are interesting, to me, & wonderful pictures. You are a wonderful writer, story-teller & photographer & combine all those talents so that many of us can see what an amazing life you are living. If anyone should ever write a book, with pictures, it's YOU!!! I'd buy it in a heartbeat just to see what you are up to, next.



The folks that post along with you are an extraordinary group, also. The descriptions of where & how they live is great reading. It's fun to watch all of you "work" with one another to create a very entertaining post.



Occasionally, you seem to be a really "tough-guy". However, most of the time you are a very appreciative, grateful guy when it comes to your wife, mules, ranch, the Seely Lake, MT. area & the other beautiful areas you have lived in or hunted in. You seem to take great joy in the simpler things like the implements in your backyard to the way your mules can plow the snow off your driveway without any guidance. You have a wonderful way of describing these events in your writings backed-up with photo's (like the one a few posts back with the guy on horseback, in the creek, with the horse getting a good, long drink of cool water. I couldn't stop looking at that picture!!!). The appreciation of the young man that accompanies you on your wildlife scouting trips into the mountains & your opinion of him. What a lucky young man. He now has memories that will live with him the rest of his life & you will be a big part of those memories.



Now, I find that not only are you a Vietnam Veteran but, that you left a big part of you behind. That's a huge sacrifice you made for your country. I'm so glad that they didn't get ALL of you. This world wouldn't have been the same with out you in it. Thanking you for your service just doesn't seem to be enough. Thank you for sharing your interesting life with the rest of us that have had more boring lives & I hope you consider that book.

Thank you for your service to our country.

Today marks the 19 year to the day that my wife lost her brother to wounds from Nam.

He was a Sea Bee, and like all the ones who have served, a HERO!

First of all Buff the MR part is not going to make it. IT'S JUST BIG OR NASTY the wife calls me BIG and has for many years. On occasion she will call me GAIL and it gets my attention FAST because she's more than likely P O ed. As far as our life here in MT it has been a long time dream I married the wife shes from MT and have always wanted to live here it is a WONDERFUL PLACE and not hard to look around and just type what you see or think.



The lifestyle that we lead here is not by chance we have always thought that the problems that other families and people encounter is caused by TO MUCH TECHNOLOGY. The family is gone in most households today. The kids come home from school and jump on the Internet mom and dad both work and more hours than they can stand come home grab some fast food on the way dish up the food and everybody goes to their own little corner of the world. We made more than just an effort to have sitdown meals with the kids and talk to them like the people that they are. Made sure that they were doing something in some kind of sport. They both took swimming and water polo. I had absolutely no clue about them as a sport swinmming is something that was done when your mule pitched you off in the river and water polo?? I'm not fat but to ware one of those SPEEDOS I dont think so. But I went to most all of their activities as a truck driver thats a tuff thing to do.



The family thing is something that is the wife's side of it all. She is Blackfeet Indian and they are REALLY FAMILY TIED I love them all and think of them as blood family. The young man Jason that you mentioned and I are very close we have been bud's as long as I can remember. He likes my company and I his probably because he's smarter than I and he can say that and I will agree. Hes a great young man and hope that someday he will find his path in life. He thinks about the BIG CITY and I agree with him that it's tempting for a young man. But a bunch of times we will be on trail and taking a lunch break and looking at some BIG SKY PICTURE and ill say something like you ain't going to see this in some factory job boy!!!!!! He will say nothing wrong with factory work. And there's not its just that you have a chance for this and most would give anything to be here all food for thought. He knows that all he would have to do is say the word and he's got the key to the house that we still have in Ca his brother is there now. We have 13 Nieces and Nephew's and at one time or another they have all been at our place in Ca to go to school no questions asked and he can do the same. We got them a car and my gas cards that the company gave for just doing my job gave them transportation. We have been paid back MANY TIME OVER just watching them and their families grow. It's been a good ride.



As for my issues with Vietnam you can see that sometimes I STILL HAVE THEM. I didnt leave anything in VN except 6 real good buddies that I can still remember like looking at a picture. Ya I lost about 14 inches of leg and foot im right handed so what the hell the left one wasn't doing much anyway. Ive been helped a bunch by oddly enough Marines??? I was in the hospital feeling sorry for myself and the guy in the rack next to me said, are you going to cry very long? What's it to ya. He said if you are could you come over here and scratch by Balls (sorry) I got up and threw the curtains open and he was missing both arms and one leg he said that it was kind of hard to scratch with the one foot because it was also the foot that he smoked with and it made it smell funny :-laf We laughed for what seemed like for ever(so much for feeling sorry for me) Greg H is another that has helped me immeasurably Im at a loss for words for some reason (sorry) The others HH Gary Mike Mikey and I shouldn't have started the list because I will forget many are good pard's and always seem to make me more calm if that can happen. I have found something that seems to help me a BUNCH and that is to talk and have our Veterans out to the house we talk about things that only Veterans of any branch and any combat or not can understand if your a Vet you know what I mean. Not only does it help them IT HELPS ME. For my service do me a favor THANK A VET OR MILITARY PERSON THEY ARE THE ONES THAT NEED OUR HELP. VN was (I dont know) but when we had some butt heads from some sand dune come INTO OUR HOUSE AND FLY AIRPLANES INTO OUR BUILDING KILLING OUR FREINDS. The Military of today are the ones taking care of business for that kind of BS and for that I appreciate it.



JOE life is as boring or as beautiful as one makes it you dont have to be in MT to like the pictures I have yet to find a place that I dont find something I like about it. Thanks for your kind words
