What a week we've had in Texas with the cold, snow & ice. Many lessons learned, many experiences and no looting, no protests, no fights, no violence. Just people helping people!!

I believe that is 90+ % of America (good people). All the other A-pipes are on various social media and national news media.

I was in serious trouble 3 Thursdays back. It had taught me that all the silly things are a waste and what I need to do as the most important. Stress and everything else was slowly killing me on top of my pre-existing condition. The toys are cool and fun, but your health helps you enjoy those toys and life and the people you care about. My Blood Pressure machine is my life line to staying hopefully out of trouble by knowing along with my doctor. I might buy an EKG next just for giggles. I used to know how to read an EKG. Test equipment for our gear. Now I get test equipment for my life.

Has anyone seen Mega Shawn lately? Seems like he's missing.

People complained about 2020 and with good reason but 2021 keeps saying hold my beer.

It's 78F in Aruba. That seems rather cool for Aruba but a heat wave compared to New England 28F and 40+mph gusts all night and all day so far.

Well well well... it's so nice to see you all here. Hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe in these trying times.
It's been quite a year. I was stranded in Nepal at the start of the pandemic for 12 weeks. Finally made it back. Thus far have avoided catching the bug and even taken my first shot. Second is due next Monday.
So,,, what did I miss? :-)

Welcome home Hempster I too tested negative for COVID-19 as well. But had 6 minor heart attacks while being EKG tested due to elevated Blood Pressure. 911 ambulance ride to hospital. I am under doctor care and medication. Full Labs were done on me. Waiting for results. Sounds like Nepal was the place. Wow 12 weeks. Glad you are home.

Sometimes it takes a negative to remind us of the positives and get us to appreciate them again. Even the little stuff. Glad you made it through and hope the results come back without bad news. Live now or risk never truly living at all folks.

Usually in the 160s to 190s in my BP. This morning, 128/82. I am on my way. Taking stress, eating better, and getting my personal life in order. Things or toys mean nothing to me, I have all I could ever want. Now my Spiritual and Physical Health are my thing.

Cheers from Cincinnati where Bockfest is this weekend. My wife and I went to a favorite brewpub before it got crowded to enjoy some great locally made Bock bier and food, then left before the crowds arrived. Attachment DeletedMark

To some this won't matter but that is okay. For me it did. My Father is my universe to me but there is one higher power too I am connected with. My post on Facebook. Thought I would share.
Most of my posts no one knows what I am talking about. Well, here is one for everyone. I made my Father's day today as I told him from my heart that God and Jesus are in my heart and I want to walk in Paradise with the Lord, my family and with my Father when the time comes. I am hoping everyone here has received the good news and the Lord's grace. I got a wake up call a few weeks ago with my High BP and Heart Attacks. Something had to change. So Church tomorrow with dear brother and sister Lance and Kalley. I can't wait. Also my Baptism to be scheduled. All in for Paradise and to be with the Lord in my spirit and heart. Praise God. I hope everyone here has a blessed day.

I lived in Covington late 60’s early 70’s and am still a big Reds fan. Going back to a Reds game is on my bucket list. Went to many, many games at both Crosley and Riverfront. Still have a caught foul ball and certificate from Crosley about a week before closing. I loved living there as a kid. Wife and I have talked about staying downtown and going to game. Maybe one day in not too distant future. 🤞
