Well cats it's been awhile since I've been around and in the time I have been here and there and over there and over that way some I have been able to figure a few things out and make some life changes at the same time.
Some of you know that my career path was in the water industry for a while managing operations for a water meter company with factories in Ningbo China, Mexicali Mexico and Banning, Ca. I lived 97 miles "from" the office so my ST became a company vehicle and they paid for it, maintained it and gave it a budget so farkles I did not lack.
I started to struggle, as did the business, and I ended up changing careers to become a truck driver for Schneider on their Walmart team. That was fun in a way.
However I started to really struggle health-wise and then BAM ... I went down for the count.
After much nonsense and treatments from various witch doctors we now believe that I had a "silent stroke" from which I will not fully recover. Within the last couple years my brain has shown signs of trauma (boxer's brain) due to a violent alcoholic father.
Since all this and some of that and dealing with depression resulting from all this sort of rot I decided to get back up and get back at it again. No one will provoke you until you provoke you.
So now, I'm in college. I'm a few units from my A.S. in Agriculture. I decided to learn something very off-topic for me and this has been a great plan.

I'm shopping for a new/used bike. Something small (250 - 400) that I can bop around on to and from school and maybe to Target. Nothing amazing, no freeway, no Hwy 18. Just a scoot to scoot about.
Here's the thing cats ... some days it's all kittens and ice cream. Other days it's hospital food and walking the halls with your IV.
So what?
Shut your trap, get your shoes on, and get back out there.
It just might save your life.
