What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Great to hear Tom! You don’t have to answer now but doctors feel the procedure was successful and went well? How are you feeling? Rest up, plenty of time to fill us in later, thanks for letting us know you are ok.
Haven't talked to doc yet. Hard to type 2 ivs other stuff but seems good
 
Oh man I wish this wasn’t a family friendly forum for just a minute. I have a great joke about a Native American standing outside his TP while his mother was giving birth. When the chief comes out he asked him how names were chosen. Got to leave it there.
Terry Pratchett worked that joke into one of his Discworld novels.
 
Good morning peeps! Can’t deny my disappointment not to hear Tom’s procedure went great and he is doing well. 😢
I see that he's been reacting to comments now though 🤗
 
Good morning y'all!
Good morning Tom!
Good morning Wes, enjoy your family and vacations. You’re making memories they will never forget.

The funny thing is, in the long run the difficulties make the trip more memorable.

Look how cute they are! 😍
Don't forget to give them their iron shot and to neuter the boys in about 2/3 days.
 
I called it quits today for my Halloween. Every couple days was laying on his back. Would right him, he would wander then fall off a rock etc..Looked like he was missing a bunch of spines. I think he was slowly deteriorating and may also have been why a couple things looked off. I righted him about an hour ago, went out and came back and didn't move so out he came. looking at his bottom, it looks kind of green around the disc.

My brother used to raise pigs. If they were on concrete he had to give them a selenium shot as well, but if they were on dirt they got it eating dirt.
