JimmyD,
Really sorry to hear about your ailments. I know what you are going through
with the feet-thing.
Send me your address and I'll send you a Rope-dub DVD if you don't already
have one. No simpler way to tie and you can use just about anything to do
it. I'll include some samples.
I literally use the technique for therapy- to de-stress and relax, tying
just to have fun. I give most of the flies I tie away.

I continue to have good days and bad days. The Essential Tremor
continues to worsen, then
will subside for a few days. A couple drinks of bourbon a day seem to
help, as per the docs
suggestion. :-P However, the tremor hasn't affected my fly tying yet,
because I can still "think"
Stop and it stops. I can hold it indefinitely. In fact the members of
my Rotary club weren't
aware of the tremor until I told them during my program last week on
rattlesnakess. ;-)
The worse part of the deal is the atrophying of the muscles in my calves
and pain in my feet.
This is not part of the essential tremor, just another "rock" in the
road for me to navigate
around. It's Osteo Arthritis in my feet. This is what makes it
impossible to "wade" anymore.
There's a neme for this one, but with all the ailments I have with feet
and legs, it doesn' seem
important anymore. The bottom line is that my balance is shot. I can
wade, but takes two wading
staffs and that's abundle what with my chest pack and the other "must haves"
If you guys could come up with a simple FLY for me to tie, I'd love to
enter a "simple swap."
and see how it goes. If I can handle it, I'll enter some more difficult
swaps. I always said, "If
I can no longer wade, then tying is the next best thing."
Looking forward to hearing from you guys. What say - A Handicapped Swap
for Jimmy D.
JIMMY D
