Year: 2006

There are just times where my brain goes into freeze mode. It really makes me feel stupid sometimes :).

Examples are:

• reading something a zillion (exageration) times and not getting it.
• being able to do something really well in a  familiar setting yet be unable to perform the same task in a unfamiliar setting.
• Trying to come up with the right word and not finding it only to think of it hours later and go duh
• Trying to say something and mixing up the endings of the words – like dog barking becomes doging bark LOL
• Getting really tired all the time.

There are lots more but ya get the idea. Somedays I am completely unaware of my shortcomings and on other days, like today, they just seem to be painfully obvious. The strange thing about this is on the good days where I more “with it” are the days I am more cognizant of my deficits.

Ok done for now.

Brandon,

If you read this please reply to this post and identify by type and brand what type fishing gear you want. If you want any western stuff give me an idea. Your list was most awesome but a little more info would be great. Hate to buy you a 6 inch pole when you wanted a 6 foot one :).

I decided to go against my usual anti social side and registered for the California Hog Rally to be held in Redding the first weekend of September. My old boss lives in Redding now and I have made arrangements to borrow her spare room for the weekend. My neighbor said she would also sign up and ride up there with me. A few of the others are planning to ride with us also.

Riding there is not really a big deal unless there are mechanical problems. I really do not do crowds real well.

Something to look forward to.

I am beginning to feel a bit like the world might pass me by today. My truck is in the shop, my motorcycle is in the backyard, and I would not use either right now because of the stupid medications the doctor has me taking for my neck and shoulder. If I have learned anything in the last few years it is to believe those around me and take their advice. So, no driving or riding this week.

Augh, it occurs to me, that nobody said you can not ride your bicycle. Yes, there it is flat tires, covered in dust, just waiting for ME! I have not peddled anywhere since my strokes. Hee hee this could be fun – I have a couple of great helmets, all the gear one could need. If I stay in my complex not being able to turn my head all the way would not really matter. It is fully suspended so the bumps should not get me. I think I might give it a whirl as I used to love to ride in the mountains. Now my mountain lies in my own street.

My bike without the dust.

This one has a story. We we hauling down the trail, the trail went down and around a curve, eh OOOO…. we landed in one big pile of horse poo. I cropped the picture as to not embarass my friend who found the poo too.

Seems there have been a lot of Shi@#$% times in my life – LOL

Rocking on the rocks.
