Sam,
I talked to GH yesterday.
Our thoughts and prayers to you and Sue.

Hello Mike,
I talked to GH a few days back. Talking to him is always a good time, just as it is with you ad so many others here at home on CVO.
Sorry I haven't written much lately. To tell you the truth, it's been a little hard for me to write. I really enjoy writing even when the story line isn't always great news. I like to see the humor in even the sadder and even sometimes even bad news. Seems we all take our turns having less than great news. It only talks a moment to step in an undetected dog mess, than BANG, the nose that had just been hanging in there is struck with the reality of, "somebody stepped in a dog mess". I know that smell and always first hope it wasn't me that stepped on the landmine of stink. I even try to check my boots without to many people seeing me sneak that downward peek. Again, the truth is, what only takes a moment to detect can sometimes literally take a lifetime it undue the mess with stink that one stands in. lol
Seems I've stepped into the doggie path. You know the one. I'm sure you too have had your day or two in doggie do. lol
Man, it's that saying of misfortune that echoes, "I hate when that happens".
Anyway, I finally had another oncology appointment and, still to sick for any chemo treatments and not sure that chemo is even in the cards for me. The problem is my creatin (sp) number is still not good. Seems the Doc is worried about my kidney and liver. All I know is I'm not yellow and when I got to go, well, man O' man, I really got to go. I had a chest X-ray and hope to hear what's up with that early this week. I'm told that I'll have another c-t scan August 2 I think and followed with another oncology visit.
One of our members, Delta paid me a visit last Thusday morning. I was as good as always to see him. Later that same day my brother from Florida came north for a visit too. He stayed with Sue and I for 4 days. It was good to see him too. I haven't seen him since the weekend after Maggie Valley gathering last year. Man, time flies. My brother is now on the coast visiting family over there before he heads back to the sunshine state. He clocked it at 1553 mile from his door to mine. He's old school, so it was all by using a map. Hearing the story of his ride hear helps me to be even more glad I have a GPS. I have come to count on my GPS maybe to much though. When I broke down last time, I didn't even know where I was on the old paper map. I had to walk to the next exit off the Conn Pike just to get my locale. Come to think of it, I hate when that happens too! lol
I just sold my '05 GMC diesel 2500 HD pickup and plow to my oil/gas man. It only had 56K miles that turns out to be a little over 2000 hours of use. Time to clear the yard a little. To my surprise, my next door neighbor bought my boat. I didn't even mention the truck or boat but to only those two guys. What a relief, I didn't even have to deal with running ads in the paper. When I get going tomorrow, I'll get the titles taken care of. To bad nether one of them wanted to buy my heritage springer with the sidecar. I decided it's time to clear out a few trailers as well. Can you believe I have 5 trailers counting the boat trailer? Sue won't know what to do when there'll be room in the garage to actually park the van inside. lol
Well, my friends, it's been a very exciting last couple weeks or so I'm ready to close my eyes and get a rest from it all. I'm hoping for some real sleep. I've been getting by on a couple hours at a time, but I really like the deep REM sleep.
I hope the best for you and yours.
I'm still thinking and hoping to be in Maggie Valley again this year. I also hope to bring Sue along. I really want her to see the Blueridge foliage I saw on my homeward leg of last years southland loop.
I miss you guys
your friend
Sam
