Sweet Slumber

Have to give my brother a big Happy Birthday today. Hope it was a good one. Though it's raining and the Brewers lost to the Phillies. Hope you still had fun at the game Tom.

And what about dem der Packers... arghhhh!

The doctor wants to see me again and have another ultrasound done of my heart. Decided to have my CPAP machine checked out before then and found the settings off. No wonder I've been short on energy and focus, and not able to lose weight. Got in some nice sleeps after getting things back to the prescribed setting. My first ultrasound, some four years ago, was somewhat troubling. Before my next one, scheduled a year later, I went to Korea for some spiritual healing. Was having symptoms of a heart attack for several weeks before my trip, but didn't want to go to the hospital and jeopardize my travels. The symptoms stopped when the plane landed and after forty days there and a couple months later my new ultrasound showed my heart functioning surprisingly better.

My arm appears to be healing fine. Thanks to all those expressing concern. Looked through some blogs and found no pictures of the bloody bike so I took some myself with my wife's cell phone. Here is a guy who cut his tire open at the same race. My wife made corned beef after my accident and I found it a bit traumatic slicing up the brisket. Actually she makes corned beef every time I get a cut and hands me a knife to carve it up.

I had to down load i-tunes on my PC for some reason. It appears quite easier and quicker to get Internet radio with i-tunes than media player. I like to listen to Bluegrass Radio (under country). At least the older stuff (damn hippie freaks ruin everything). My wife says it sounds like music playing on an old radio in an abandoned town in some horror movie. ...

It's my ribs that have been really hurting. Don't know if that means we'll have bar-B-Q'd ribs for dinner. My ribs had been feeling fine, but Thursday after I spent the day digging and hauling dirt in five gallon buckets. A few hours the following days also. Too bad I couldn't take any pictures, my camera being most broken. My friend has a beautiful garden and landscaping, quite extensive. We are working on the back now. When I went to get my stitches out, looked over some issues of Garden Design. Even their advertisements were attractive. I like looking at the pretty pictures.

WEMS is finished for the year. Looks like the first Wolf River Rendezvous was a little short on attendance. Everyone shooting for the big event in Sheboygan. With gas prices so high it really cuts into ones budget to try to make every race. Sounded like an interesting venue, with a tunnel even. I got a good video of the equalizer at Sheboygan last year but couldn't get you/tube to hold a portrait format. Have to get back out on my bike but it has been raining today.

Tun-Tun sleeps a lot these days. Then goes outside and trots around demanding our utmost attention. He enjoys the Autumn weather.... He has trouble catching his breath.
