It's a New Life, It's a New Day!

 

It's a New Life, It's a New Day!

  I know, I know it's been awhile. Well this year, in fact on Halloween, I had a Pulmonary Embolism.
Holy Crap you might say and you would be right. Apparently because of my truck driving job and all the sitting I do behind the wheel caused blood clots from my legs to work themselves up to my lungs.
  Yeah really! I was at the house and leaned over to get something and all of a sudden I got really really dizzy and couldn't breath, then of course I panicked and hyper ventilated even more, passed out for a few seconds, all the while I trying to call out to the wife to call 911!! 
Looking back it's kinda funny because when I was calling the wife for help she thought I was yelling at the football game. Any way the Rescue squad came and whisked me off to the ER or is it ED? I don't know but I wasn't worried about sex right then so I'm calling ER.
  Here it is almost a month later I can say all is well. I need blood pressure meds  for now and still can not drive a big rig yet but I am hopeful to be back to by the first of the year.
  I don't know if anyone even see this blog but I thought I would put this out just for the heck of it. Now I so much time at home who knows I might even write another one? 
  Maybe about my flight simulator escapades or racking leaves, I don't know.


Thanks for reading.....

Put Summer away and bring Winter out.

Well, I guess the end of Summer is upon us now.  Got to take down the pool, put away the badminton set, stowaway the croquet set , hide away the habatchi grill, batten down the boat or hatches or whatever it's called. In other words "Put shit away!!" Of course now that we have done all that we have to bring out the "winter shit".  Coats, sweaters,boots,scarves and things.  As a man I just pull them out of the closet and put them on when I need them.  Women on the other hand will make us men take everything to the cleaners.  Hell I just picked them up from the cleaners before I put them away last year.  But that's what women do. The only thing I am worried about is the NFL games and The Redskins. I wash my jersey at the beginning of the season and not until the end will it get washed again. Sounds nasty and can smell nasty but that is what we do!! I am rambling now so I'll be quiet.  Besides I have to take the clothes to the cleaners so I can brin

Who Inspired Me?

  Who Inspired Me? So, if you didn't know by now, I love flight simulation and being able to fly to places I never could or will be able to. I have always had a passion for flying ever since I was small. When I was ten or so I flew to Madrid, Spain then on to Gibraltar. It was awesome! Ever since then I have had the bug. Later in my late twenties I was fortunate enough to be able to fly a small Cessna 172 with a friend of mine. My bride to be and I flew to Greenville, NC with my friend Gene Olinger, who by the way was a flight instructor, to see my daughter who was staying with her mother. I got to fly most of the trip, it was amazing. Life sometimes throws us a curve ball and my good, dear, friend Gene passed away with leukemia and so ended my flying real plays. I miss him still today.  Many, many years later I went to a Rent-A-Center and saw something called a computer! After playing with it for a while I found out how to install games and found Microsoft Flight Simulator.  Thank

Gotta Love the Grand Kids.

It was a bright and sunny day in Virginia this past Saturday. A great day for a pool party. It was my grand daughters nineth birthday so what better time than to clean out the pool, spray on suntan oil and party with family and friends. She had her closest friends there and of course us darn adults. Hey, some had to cook the hot dogs and hamburgers. I have added a slide show so enjoy.
