Lonesome Possum Ranch

[jonthepain]

This here is a story told by my neighbor Gerry Sowers. He's a good ole boy and a kick in the pants to hunt with.

Gerry just underwent surgery the week before Christmas to try and do something about his Parkinson's Disease.
Please say a prayer for him; they will be turning on the electrodes they implanted in his brain on January 15th.
Thanks!

I enjoyed the story. Gerry is in my thoughts and Prayers.

Parkinson's is tough. We have come a long way, though in treatment protocol....a lot further than the L-Dopa that was the main treatment 30 years ago. I'll say a prayer for him too, Jon.

Checked out the Lonesome Possum Youtube too....he's a pretty creative guy...
"No worries about stampedes because whenever anything frightened them they just laid on the ground and played dead"
The posselope hunts are priceless......:laugh:....catch and release......
I wish him well.....:HappyWave: Please let us know how things turn out for him.

Gerry was over today and suggested that I post his $3000 poem.

Gerry brought his decoy over the other day. Chloe did not know what to make of it. She gave it a sniff and a look as if to say "wow it sucks to be you."

I enjoyed the peom. I guess the picture is not that Coyote, and was the cause of costing him 3k to fix his truck. I Hope him well.:HappyWave:

rofl I don't know if that's the $3000 coyote or not - I'll have to ask him, we're going out coyote hunting Wednesday.

Funny stuff jonthepain. Your friend sounds like a character. Hope he feels better

Thanks, bh. They turn on the electrodes Jan 15th. Hopefully he'll be able to function again after that. He's like a train wreck with all the uncontrollable movement going on. He looks just like he's falling down drunk at all times.

Here's Gerry in a local comedy club several years ago, before it got really bad:
