My buddy Craig and his wife Tammy came for a visit. They live in Pennsylvania and we get together every year. At least Craig and I trade trips every other year. We have been friends for 30 years and it is more like family the a friendship. God has blessed me with this friendship.

We will get Craig an out of state fishing license here in a little bit and most of the week will be spent fishing. Seeing how Tammy is along on this trip there will be some chick things that need to be done, I not sure what but I know I'll be told as soon as I have the need to know.

Tammy and the bride are talking and laughing so I guess I'll go do the breakfast dishes. see-ya

I think I will go see the 10:00 showing of the expendables. I know the bride is not interested in an action flick and I need to see a movie where old guys are still tough. But first I need to do the dishes, but I'll have a mean look on my face.

Went to my post op on Tuesday and the Dr said I was doing great and I had no restrictions. So yesterday a buddy of mine wanted to go shooting and I said "sure". This morning I have placed some restrictions on myself. The shoulder is very sore. I am glad we only used handguns and not rifles. Need coffee............bye

I am feeling much better. The shoulder is still very sore but is on the mend. I was able to sneak out in the truck and go to the store. It was great to get out of the house for awhile. The bride and I are going to see mom and pick up her dirty laundry. Not much else, just wish it was football season. GO CHARGERS

My surgery went well, however shortly after I got home I was gasping for breath after any movement. I have had blood clots in the lungs twice before and this felt a lot like that. The bride hauled me off to the emergency room and after many tests and many hours it was determined that I had aspirated something during surgery and it had settled in my right lung. The DR called it phenomena and give me some antibiotics. The pain from the surgery is not as bad as I thought it would be and I am able to manage with some pain killers.

Having shoulder surgery on Wednesday. I figure I will not post anything for awhile. I am lousy at typing with two hands and be twice as lousy with one.

Had a bar-b-que at the house last night, invited a few freinds and had a wonderful time. Hamburgers and hotdogs abounded. The bride made her homemade baked bean and mac salad. It was nothing but fun. I am thinking I will do it again before the end of summer.

Just want to wish my daughter HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Just got back from my walk, sometimes the walk is no fun but I do feel great when I get done. Funny how that works we all go through tough times and it drags you down but when you get through you feel fine. That is as deep as I am going today.

I will be taking mom out for lunch in awhile, first I need to do a load of laundry for her and put some weed and feed on the lawn. Some important papers have been misplaced and the house was torn to shreds trying to locate them. I need to put the house together again and start the search over. At least I know where the papers are not and I can proceed searching other areas. Of all the things I have lost I miss my mind the most. I am off like a heard of turtles , see ya
