  2. Feel youre pain, I had 2 herniatted discs and to top it off spinal stenossis of the spine, did everything, physio, chiro,i found a really good chiropractor who I see a couple times a week, also if you are over wieght its important to strenghten youre core, movement is the key to a bad back etc, try to stay active, lots of streching, try yoga, find a strtech that wont hurt you but will help with the pain, try to stay off the meds as much as you can, hot tub, steambath, lots of walking, good shoes, posture, how you sit if you do a lot it.

  11. I was upper lake at Kananaskis Sunday, there were 3 fellas down about 50 yards and they were using bait, as I walked by them I politely told them that bait wasnt allowed in the lake, they didnt respond and kept fishing, so I politely pulled my cell phone out and they pulled up camp and left, little did they realize there is no phone cell coverage there.

  21. Last Sunday myself and 2 other friends including fishpro went and fished racehorse creek and the livingston, as we pulled into a spot to find a way down we got out of my truck and scouted and decided to move up a bit, as we got in the truck I started the truck and put it into drive, the gear shift indicator went loose, the truck was stuck in drive, couldent shift any thing, good thing we had access to go forward, luckily my partner mentioned not to shut off the truck as it wont start in drive, we made it home but we did stop on another stretch to fish a pool, we put the e brake cable on and put a rock under the wheel, we only stayed for about an hour then went home.
  22. I have also has a conversation with the ''so called sales guy'' I am in retail my self and if any of my employeees acted like that they would be out of a job very fast.
