I had dental implants installed in June and I have lost twenty pounds since. You know how we save old clothes that got too small hoping that some day we can wear them again. I'm getting pretty close to my old wardrobe. Ten more pounds to go.

I found that quite interesting.  Apparently it's only the heavily populated areas in real crisis.

As we left the Mayo clinic today we passed a crematorium just a few blocks away.  Handy?  Carol asked if she should make me an appointment.  NOT!

We spent the day today in the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Mn. It was a follow up for some surgery  I had 18 months ago and it  went well.  No problems, but......... They of course required masks everywhere and they were busily inoculating all their staff for Covid. I asked my surgeon about his...

During my aviation career, (military and FAA), I flew in many different airplanes and helicopters from DC3s to 747s to HU1s to H37s to even a B52 and KC135.  I was young then and immortal, at least I thought so. Well, I am still here. With  my job with the FAA I  had cockpit privileges in both...

I've been running 10 for quite a long time now with no issues. I no longer get the blue screen of death or any issues at all. The old computer was pretty ancient and I needed to upgrade. This new one works like lightening compared to it. The old one was an HP all in one and so is the new one...

Old computer crashed a while back and I now have a new desk top so.......... I'M BACK. ;D Guess I have a lot to catch up on.

There is a couple named Gear who are Cultural Anthropologists studying American Indian cultures and writing books about them.  I have read several of their works and it's quite fascinating.  There were several rather advanced cultures long before Columbus arrived.  Of course we all know about...

Just out of the service in March of 1968 I went to work for the Federal Aviation Administration at the Washington Air Route Traffic Control Center in Leesburg, Va.  Everyone's first job was Flight Data.  We were using an old Univac computer that had seen better days.  We would take flight plans...

I haven't posted in a while, but I'm back.  We were in Williams Az. when they started closing the country.  That was mid March I guess, and they closed the visitor center.  Well not too much else to do there, so we headed East.  Got to Albuquerque and were having lunch with my cousin and his...

I was a General Support Depot aircraft repairman in VN.  That meant that I was qualified to do anything to an aircraft that was needed. Like adjust voltages, trim tabs, ect.  Things that the units never touched.  I was also issued a very expensive tool box and set to carry with me. One day we...

Also you need a Hybrid Solo Hub.  I found all these items on Amazon with next day shipping.
