How Rude!! You Interrupted Spring

I was unloading my truck tonight after working in Northern Alabama a couple of day and I was hit, yes hit, in the eye with a snow flake!!  Ok, no big deal North of the Ohio River, but how rude to deliver such a blow to us poor folks this far South.  I am ready for the warm weather to stay, now!!   The flowers are coming on and if it rains in the next couple of days, it will be mower time as well.   I immediately went inside and stayed there so I would not be accosted by the flying flakes.   I think I pouted a little.

A couple weeks ago I picked up my 2014 Silverado truck that is my work vehicle that is sponsored by Buckman- a great perk when they pay for all the bills associated with the vehicle.   I had a 2004 Volvo S 80 that I gifted this week to an organization that auctions autos and uses the proceeds to promote sight and blindness issues. Somebody is going to get a great car.  The gifting is a  really easy to get rid of them quick.   Sign the title and bye bye.   So, Linda and I neither one own a car now !!   She wants a Thunderbird, so do I, but we need a garage first and that is a year or two down the road.  So we drive the fleet stuff, we do get to pick the colors!!

  I do not know any other families that are in this sort of an arrangement, it is a great way not to spend money on transportation.   Also,  part of the fleet vehicle deal is using commercial license plates.   I guess I will have to retire the TISSUE for a few years until we get something else that needs a plate.

First Time Ever?

Things are just a little crazy with the chaos associated with the coronavirus and the global reaction.   Talking with my wife and brother, as well as the rest of the world that will still chat with you, nobody can remember anything quite like this situation.   The crash into the Twin Towers on 9-11 had some elements of the situation, but the total shutdown of sporting events, meetings, global travel and the run on water, sanitizer and toilet paper is just totally new to us.  The Master Indoors meet was cancelled this week, I was not planning on going this year.   I am in the middle of relocation from Nashville to Harper Ferry , West Virginia.  On March 31 we will close on the Brentwood house and close on the new place on April 2.   Getting this into place has been a real battle, but it is going to happen.    We are on our third contract for the Brentwood house and after trying to sell it for 9 or 10 months it will close this ...

Recovery. One More Time

 It has been about 10 weeks since I pinched the nerve in my back causing the muscle control issue in my right quad.   I am seeing my chiro twice a week for treatment and we are gaining on the process--s. l. o. w  l.  y.   I did visit my regular doctor who prescribed some steroids and also discussed some surgery technics.  I took the steroids and was superman for 4 days and but I wrote her a note about the other procedures and told her I would wait for Fall until thinking about that stuff.   I want to run out the chiro work first.   He said it could be up to 9 months for a full recovery and I got the time.    I am making progress, my lower leg buzzy feeling on my right side is basically gone.   But the quad control is still muted, with an occasional problem with my right leg just giving away for a split second and then I catch myself and keeping on trucking. Those occurrences are becoming less and less. ...

The Aging Process

 As you get older, you understand the aging process from first hand knowledge, your body lets you know you are aging through its queues and hints.   Sometimes it is subtle and other times it is sudden.  On April 4, 2024 I received a  queue from my body concerning my back.      I had severe pain in my right leg and lost about half of the strength and function in the leg--just like a door had shut.  Bam!  I could not really walk, had a miserable time getting comfortable and could not sleep worth a damn.   Life had changed very suddenly for me.    The message was delivered on a Friday and I got to my chiro-- a Cox Technique Chiro- on Monday and he started the procedure to decompress my L 4 vertebra which had a disk that had collapsed and was pinching a nerve causing the loss of muscle control and strength in my right outer leg.   Inner leg was good, as was my left leg.  I also have nerve related feelings i...
