Starting to move again

 Hello everyone,

Had a telephone meeting with the surgeon today and all is full steam ahead! Whew, glad that’s behind us.

Picked up the new stereo last weekend and got it all hooked up and functioning again, tunes and surround sound for movies, woohoo, living high on the hog!!


The last few days we went over to Shipshewana and saw Steve Miller, he was very good. I had forgotten how many songs he had that we knew. 


Even bought me a cool tshirt! We spent an extra day farting around by the big flea market over there and then came home today.

The old grind pretty much starts tomorrow, I have to mow the grass and start spraying the weeds and stuff. Next week I’ll go back to my little job and then start back on the gator project as well.

I did order a new high definition tv antennae. We switched over to Star Link for internet and got rid of Dish for our tv provider and I need something so we can watch football. The antenna should be here in the next few days, I’ll get my son to go up the ladder for me and that should be that, hopefully.

Well, I think that’s all for now, talk to you soon,

Made it through

 Hello everyone,

Well, I managed to get through stent surgery with flying colors! Had to spend one night in the hospital ( not so fun!). Came home yesterday with instructions to change my diet and start exercising. So, that pretty much starts today.

The surround sound stereo I had out in the shop gave up the ghost a couple of months ago. I had bought it a few years ago from one of my youngest sons buddies for I think $100. It worked pretty well for a shop. So this time I purchased or, am going to purchase, a much newer model by the same manufacturer. It’s a little more powerful, still a 7.1 surround , but has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. I’m supposed to meet the guy who has it this morning at 9, in a town a few minutes north of me.

After that maybe I’ll start walking a little bit and start to get my sea legs back under me. I’ve never been an excercise guy so this will be a new kind of experience. I’ve always worked hard just not excercised. 

Hopefully that’ll speed up the recovery and get my life back to normal, or at least to some semblance of normal. The last few weeks have been pretty eye opening and a little scary. I had no idea I was that plugged up! Just a few weeks ago we were putting up that swimming pool!

Well, I think that’s all for now, talk to you soon,

Still kind of sucks

 Hello everyone,

I’m still not allowed to do much yet. I’m scheduled to have stents put in on Friday. Hopefully that will help my mental heath as well. I’m not really sure how far I can go doing a few things, so I’ve been very cautious, and I’m getting quite bored! Never thought I’d say that, but, there it is!!

Well, I think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,
