.... Used to post as... tom in victoria .... ( for newcomers, that is Victoria BC, Vancouver Island ) .... forgot password and on a laptop now, had to re-register and get new password ( hair and memory both going, nearly gone ). Findmall managed to mangle a simple name like tom into ... mot ! Well still better than mud I guess ! OK, now where was I ? Yeah, the failure to post for a coon's age !
Two sessions of lithotripsy to demolish kidney stones .... what fun ! Not painful then, that comes during the next few days !
Overweight, ( like most of us I guess ) hence type 2 diabetes. Small stroke, couple years ago, affecting only my right forearm and some loss of sensation in the hand. Quit smoking, cold turkey that same morning; just needed a real good incentive plan .
Smoked for over 50 years, a 2 pack man; but the piper must always be paid. Bladder cancer, 2 surgeries, clear for the moment; one more check in May to be sure. No fun, none at all ! I can assure everyone, you must leave all modesty at the check-in desk. These medical concerns would not be so embarrassing, if the nurses weren't all so young and cute to boot ! Doctors say that this type is almost certainly caused by smoking !
Other than that, only my gimpy starboard knee is playing up. Precious little detecting accomplished, nothing to brag about, or lie about either, for that matter. Little kids may have " show & tell ";................. at the coffee shop, we called it B&B, for " bring & brag " !

I check in here most every day, get my chuckle fix, and appreciate the posts of one and all. Couple of suggestions before I shut up though :
Use Google; punch in ...." High Flight ". Written by a young WW2 fighter pilot who did not survive the war. This is every pilots' poem, and is a standard eulogy, for those who have flown and fell, or just handed in their earthly wings.
Still on Google, look for " Tommie ", by Rudyard Kipling. The story of how British soldiers, were regarded and treated in the 1800's. Still pretty much applicable, to soldiers everywhere today, I think. Sadly, nothing much changes !
Nothing to look at, but thanks for listening in on ol' windy here ! G'day
