Got diagnosed yesterday with the shingles and it is a very painful condition in our heat in Georgia and it is in the worst place possible and starting to have a few sores come up my back and down one leg. Completely covers my right hip and groin area and no metal detecting for awhile for me. Once it runs its course, hope to get out and do some dirt fishing at the river since they let the water level down this year. Thought it was last year, but lost a year somehow and the man at the power company thought I had lost something else. good luck and happy hunting to all our members.
