    If you dont see me and Janice Hoffman at any of the hangs in the near future heres why.
    On February 16, 2024 I was using a table saw. It was set up with a 5/8(or little wider) dado blade. The board I was cutting kicked out of the saw causing my right hand to fall onto the blade. Needless to say I have a devastating injury to my right had. I cut my right hand almost in half, the cuts start in the middle of my palm and goes just past my wrist. After a little over 2 hrs of emergency surgery the doctor said I severed my median nerve and also severed my radial nerve going to my thumb. He repaired my median nerve to the best of his ability. He said there wasn't much he could do with my radial nerve. All my fingers except my pinky finger are numb. I have almost 200 stitches that some will come out this Friday.
    Please pray for my wife Janice Hoffman as you pray for me.
    The doctors are saying it will be 9 months to a year recovery time. I may have to have at least one more surgery in a couple months.
    I would like to thank my wife janice and son Stephen Hoffman for not letting me bleed out that day. My daughter Hannah Wright has also not left my side. Those three are the best.
    This next year will be a long year.
    Thanks for all who have prayed and came by to visit. Please keep us in your prayers.
    Jeff and Janice

    I have a larger sized cooler I can bring with me, Phantom! I'll try to grab enough ice from work to have a layer for the bottom ready for whatever you need it for. We should be there Friday afternoon.

    Me the two kids and the new dog are planning to arrive Thursday; with the new Cabarrus County school schedule, they are on Spring Break.
    I'm planning on bringing a 10x20 tarp and lots of rope, so maybe I'll engineer something.
    I have hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, and cake on my menu. We'll share whatever extra we have.
    A day camping in the rain is better than a good day at work,

    Shaw, be great to see y’all. Please help me remember their names. All I remember is how great y’all’s family is.

    And your dog too, what’s your dog’s name? You reckon doggo likes cheese?!?!

    Are their names Lucas&Addison?

    If I can’t remember or don’t know a dog’s name, I say to doggo. “Are you hungry?” Amazingly, most dogs round here are fluent in English.

    Yes, the kids are Addison and Lucas. The dog's name is Daisy. She's 6 months old, so I'm keeping her away from people food until she turns 1, trying to avoid stomach issues while she's still a puppy.
