Well as we have been told, we can only post pictures that we have taken ourselves. And then seeing some of the pics that Fred posted.
I'm ASSuming that posting those pics got him to thinking of the old times and he took matters into his own hand so to speak.
So I'm speculating that he is getting rotator cuff surgery or carpal tunnel surgery.

He was out 'Jump startin' the 8 N and fell under the left rear wheel. Bent the rim up, but he will be fine. As some of you may know his Native American name is: "Two Dawgs Funking", so somewhere in the shock-flash that conjures up QUITE a robust man!!!! The nurses can't sedate him enough to slow him down.
