HI Brian,
Just finally surviving the rip tide and made it back to wherever I would have ended up.
Missed a couple of your tweets “You looking for me?” are you looking for me. Still have some info to that tweet but will wait till you can get a chance when you recover from the VA.
Get well and will be thinking about you.
As for me just the same: playing the game.
Trump will be gone by the end of the year now just have to find a way to dump Pence and the real people who are fuc%ing up America.
Just have to find the right Frequency. It is in the Low end starting at 17 Hz and below.
Sequence: the order in which things happen or should happen.
Recall when they said learn Chinese for the future well it might look that might change.
47 years ago I was in HappyLand, camping and walking a lot.

You totally amaze me that and your timing.
You need to start writing a book. Too much fun.
The title ? I will wait for your response.
As for me I am brain dead from all the drugs the VA gives or have given me. My new doc requested a record from another non-VA doctor from a couple of months ago under the Choice Program. Went up to the front desk and told them just need the records from Modesto.
Livermore VA called me yesterday said they are sending the request. I said great but then she said it is 1,800 pages long. I said just needed from Mod doc. They are sending all from 1999. At least she was happy when I told her to put it on a CD. Then requested VA San Francisco records as well since they have no connection. There is a little over 800 pages. As for pics of X-rays, MRI and whatever that will be on a additional CD.
Lack of communication again.
I think they want me to stop reading what I know, and read their records for a change. Taking a guess, I should be dead by page 600.
Starting to get camp 4 photos together, I will do that while I read 30 pages each day.

Hernia surgery finalized.
My gut reaction: pain.
My answer: an opiate.
But before I go, let me wish HAPPY SIXTY-FOURTH BIRTHDAY to neebee,
who we probably need now more than ever
and who eats very little besides.

TY, DMT. Had a deluxe ride down to Fresno in a new Impala.
A very smooth ride through the surgery, and a pleasant few words with Mike on the way - taciturn is the only word for him, but he's a smart one and kind to his toes.
A big thank you to him, even if he'll never read this.
Right, Tim?

Groaning Thunder Logbook (short version)
We were on the road by 5:20 a.m. and the drive was enhanced by the sunrise over the Shuteye Ridge country.
This Impala Mike bought is a tricked-out electronics package, and he couldn't get the lady in the box to come forth with the correct directions...he's not quite up to speed on it yet, but we listened to a nice set of songs on Sirius, including Shelter From the Storm by Bob Dylan.
Mike followed me into the waiting area, gave them his cell #, and split for his daughter Becky's place to spray some rampant bamboo.
I lay prepped and ready to go into the OR in the waiting/staging area for at least half an hour before word came from the blood lab that my numbers showed that I likely wouldn't bleed out on the surgical team.
The anesthiologist was a personable and attractive 30-year veteran and put me at ease even before she stuck me with her "joy juice." I managed to thank her before I conked out.
Then I recall waking rather quickly, changing into street clothing, and being wheeled out to the pharmacy, where they left me in Mike's care.
I waited ten minutes for the dope and then we hit the road, our business done, on a cloud and with no cares at all, for the numbness continued in my groin until I managed to get to sleep again at home.
It's becoming aggravated, now. Coughing is a carefully-managed sequence of holding the hernia scar and GENTLY expelling bursts of air.
Time to wander up to Decker's for some Jeopardy!

Some folks have panned this one, but Sam and I always liked it - tin pan in the alley looking for the fuse?

There was a movie I seen one time,
I think I sat through it twice.
I don't remember who I was or where I was bound.
All I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck, he
wore a gun and he was shot in the back.
Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were
torn down.

When they put me out or under I did not go readily. Dr. told me He had to work with me a bit.
Glad I caved when post op I looked at the size of the needle they poked through my eye.

That said, keep a sharp eye out for infection
