Issue #1051

Hey There,

We’ve had the girls here since school let out. Thats great but its also exhausting. Kids these days don’t seem to know how to do anything. How to help around the house, how to entertain themselves, and so on. And anything we want to do has to be pre-planned and configured for 4 instead of 2. That leaves out enjoyable things like simply taking off on the motorcycle for a little toot. Between having the kids here and some health issues, the bike is gathering dust and spider webs.

As this letter knows, I had a very painful bout of kidney stones. I had thought I was over with that when I passed a stone last week. There was about 4 days of bliss, no issues at all with the exception of my hip joint and other age crap. Well, a few days ago I got hit with another wave of the way too familiar kidney stone pain. At least this time I knew what it was. I had been able to see a doctor in our soon to be none existent doctor’s office where we discussed the issue. He had suggested that even though I’d passed ‘the’ stone, there was likely smaller bits of shrapnel still in there and those bits could and probably would make themselves known. And they or it did. Wow. I do think I passed that one in about 24 hours from it’s first poke at my insides and sure hope thats the case. Only time will tell if it’s still there or if there is still more like it lurking.

That will have to do it for this week. Oh, I did manage to get out on the bike for a toot down to Horseshoe Bay. Hit rain just before I got there, it rained while I sat there chatting with a friend, and it rained all the way home. But at least I got out on the bike. I had proper riding gear on and stayed dry, the bike got a bit wet and dirty but can easily be cleaned up so it was still a nice ride.
