    Glad you are well on the mend. Yes, depression happens many times after something like what you went through and that won't go away overnight for sure. Just stay on the mending wagon! Good luck.

    You’re not alone here, amongst friends. At least we can talk a lot of shop or the like to pass the time and heal. Getting back to this group, it’s helpful when you develop a place in yourself to cope and an outlet like we do encourages us to work hard at it. Glad you’re here.

    Well sure glad your doing better, I understand the depression part too. Broke back and neck 4 years ago and it put me outa work. It can put you in a dark place. I don’t know you personally but I guess we are both in this world together and to me that is enough to be family. If you ever need to vent of talk( no mamsypamsy stuff but brother to brother straight up) pm me and I’ll shoot you my number. It good to vent sometimes!


    Wood always heats you twice, unless you rehandle like I do then it’s four or five times!

    Glad your feeling better WH... Where I live we have simular rock formations and bluffs.

    How is that water coming out of the side of the hillside bluff? That's a lot of water coming out!

    Is there a pipe there?

    Good looking place. I’ve been down before battling back from cancer and even though I had to start slow, the depression started lifting when I was finally able to get out and do something. A little at a time and it eventually gets done.
    Your place looks like a great set up to just putter around on all day long.

    Thank you Fanatical1, it comes from the hills in the woods and under my dirt rd. Its a stone built culvert under the rd, it gets going pretty good during storms and in the spring thaw.
