Good medical news

I had a colonoscopy today. After having colon cancer removed in '07, I'm happy to report a clean bill of health.

Busy in Dayton

Been taking care of a lot of things. Psychiatrist, therapist, chiropractor, veterinarian. Went to the MW2 Men's AA Workshop last weekend. I picked out a good annual site at the Wilmington Thousand Trails. And, I broke my little toe. Ouch.

The RV goes in for work on the levelers and oil changes on April 5, so no travels before then. I go in for a colonoscopy Monday, the cancer is 3 years behind me, I hope for a clean bill of health.

My brother in law is doing well, gets the staples out of his incisions today.

Later.

In Dayton

Arrived back in Dayton about 6:30. Emo not happy. Chuck not happy. House just like I left it, a mess. Lots to do - appointments, RV needs tires, oil change, and levelers fixed, tons to do in the house and yard. One day at a time, I guess.

Almost there

Overnighting at a Love's truck stop well east of St. Louis, be in Dayton tomorrow (Wed.)

Emo on the beach

Emo happy

I drove down to the fishing dock today, and let Emo run the beach off leash. He was so happy he was running in circles, up the hill, through the water, just having a good time. We will go down there every day now.

Good News

My brother in law's operation went well!

I'm still here at Lake Texoma, going to local meetings, washing the RV and the truck, smoking cigars, and generally being lazy. Watching some spring training games, planning my trip back to Ohio.

Great camp

We are camped in a great site in a great park. This is my favorite TT preserve so far. Right across the road is the trail, and we hiked about a quarter mile down to an empty picnic site overlooking the lake. I let Emo off leash and he got to swim, we stayed over an hour. I saw many fish jump.

I got groceries today, and I think we have all we need to keep the truck parked for the next two weeks, excepting 15 minute runs to the local AA group, which I attended last night. Great meeting, nice meeting space. They meet every night at 7 PM except Sunday when they meet at 3.

I'm going to take a few days to get back to Ohio, but I have registered for the Men's Workshop starting Friday the 18th. I hope the motorhome will fit, if it won't, I may try to motorcycle camp weather permitting. The following week I have appointments, and the week after that I am guessing I will have another colonoscopy. My cancer has been gone for 3 years, I expect a good bill of health. The cardiologist tested me and said I was good last fall, I just need to get out and hike more, and do something else, maybe dumbells. And, quit eating junk.

I use my Blackberry tethered to the laptop for internet, and the signal here is very weak, so e-mail and a short browse is all I can do. Probably good for me, it got us down to the lake instead of sitting in front of the machine. Soon I will start some maintenance, I think my leveler problem may be low fluid, I need to get out the ladder to reach the fill port and check it. If I can't get it going, I'll need to call someone out $$$.

Life is good. Tom, send me your e-mail address if you read this, I wanted to discuss the recent state politics, I see the public unions in Ohio got hit. I hate to get political on this blog, but I really think hitting teachers with budget cuts and crippling their unions is like eating our seed corn. Teachers, cops, fire fighters, infrastructure workers, and military are things we need to keep up if we are going to advance.

Watching a lot of pre-season baseball, it's funny watching some of these kids try things past their abilities to impress people. Wild throws, baserunning, etc. I'll listen to the Reds on Dodger radio tonight, I hope for another good season.

Bye for now...Chuck

Here with problems

We arrived at Texoma signal on Blackberry too weak for laptop internet. Leveler problems but leveled with Lynx levelers. Might not blog much with the phone. Heading towards Dayton March 14.
