I went to Vancouver to visit my friend Dutch Savage today. Shortly after I got there, his doctor came in and shared some very good news with us. It seems that the artery that they thought needed to be bypassed is actually ok, as is one of the valves that they initially thought would have to be replaced. What this means is that on this upcoming Monday, Dutch will have 1 heart valve replaced with a valve from a pig heart and at the same time will have a double bypass procedure done. This is much better than having 2 valves replaced and a triple bypass.
When I got home I grabbed up my Hoyt and went for a walk up on Barnes drive, as late deer season is still on until next Wednesday. Wouldn't you know it, I didn't see any deer but I did manage to locate a herd of 13 elk that were bedded down. There was one 5x5 bull in the herd, as well as one smaller bull. Elk season in that unit ended last Sunday...
By tomorrow evening we should be experiencing torrential rains in both western Oregon and western Washington. They say we could get as much as 3" of total rainfall. Yes, Virginia, the drought is over...
