Horrible news. Hope he has a speedy recovery.
However, curiosity is killing the cat: How did tjohn fall?Was he reaching too far:embarrassed2:...did his 'on belay' helper push the ladder over
...his cooler of beer shifted and took the ladder over:frown:...was he 'hopping' the ladder over to finish that last foot of timber.

Tim is a non-alcohal drinker , I beleive he was reaching to far , I went to see him yesterday , he was in a lot of pain , I didn't stay to long . I'm getting a jar to put in the Pub , for some donations . I'm going to do what ever he wants , maybe get him a laptop ot tablet something so he can stay tuned with the outside world .
His wife was ready to leave for work , lucky she was still there . He lives way out in the forest , no other help with in miles . Shes a nurse , also a big help .
My very good freind Tim Johnson (tjohns ) here on Az was treating the logs on his beautiful big log Home . The ladder slipped and Tim fell 20+ feet . breaking both ankles , right wrist and cracking a couple vertibra in his back . Tim has built some beautiful cues , and I have posted some of the pictures here . He will be down for months . Some thoughts would be appreciated . Thanks Jim

Went to see Tim again yesterday . They operated on one foot last weds , and the other friday . Feeling pretty tough . probably six months before he can put any weight on his feet , or even try to learn to walk again . His right wrist was opperated on earlier , and is in a cast , not bothering him as much as his feet . Thanks for the kind words , I pass them on . Jim
