You should ask the doc if he has a picture of the two cameras meeting up in the middle.

(joking) If your insurance company is like mine they only wanted to pay for one or the other. I hope they did your endoscopy first!

On Thursday I had my pre-surgery EGD that was required prior to WLS and due to family history, I had my 1st ever colonoscopy. Yep I had a double probe. One on each end. Just for laughs I weighed myself on the morning of the procedure and after being completely cleaned out I was at 289 lbs. I knew it was only because I fasted for 2 days and cleaned out my insides with that MoviPrep solution that has me convinced that it was made by the devil himself. Regardless of the fact it was short-lived, it was still nice to see the scale under 290 lbs. I hope I will get there naturally soon enough.

The 1911 it replaced was a pre Clinton gun ban Norinco. I got it from a now deceased friend of mine years ago. He had tricked it up and throated the feed ramp. Sweet shooting gun and I still qualify with it to keep it for off duty. I started out on a 1st Gen Glock 19 before going to the 1911's.

Thanks, but I think you are being generous with your compliment on our landscaping. Wild and wooly is sort of the theme right about now. But we will get it there eventually.

A Kimber, eh? Fancy Schmancy. I have some friends who carry Kimbers. I've got a Colt Lightweight Commander for dressing up. It's gussied up with some Cerakote, a stainless slide, and cocobolo grips. My EDC is a S&W 45 Shield. For a stock Tupperware gun, the trigger is almost as nice as a 1911.

Congratulations on getting a big job done, and especially on the bike! Good for you on both counts. I love to ride, but the weather has been very uncooperative so far this year. It went straight from snowing almost every day to raining every day. I?m beginning to thing I?ve been transported to Ireland.

Last week 265

This week 264

Despite my prognostication that I thought I was done losing, I dipped down to 261 even this week, and then bounced right back to 264. So who knows? Apparently not me.

I've posted this before I am pretty sure, but this is my new ride, which I purchased at the end of the riding season last year. It is a hybrid, so not as fast as yours, but it suits the riding I do.

Last week: 189.2

This week: 187.8

Congratulations on getting through the "project from Hell"! I can understand rewarding yourself. When I was approaching the 18-19 year mark in law enforcement I "rewarded" myself with a new stainless steel Kimber 1911 .45 ACP. X2 and I went to a gun show in Forth Worth. I had handled it twice, walking off, and on the third time I bought it! All those thousands of guns there - it was "talking" to me! Replaced the .45 I was already carrying.

Mess at Santa Fe, TX HS. My worst fear is local school jumping off.

Work schedule still twisted up this week with new wrinkle. Off Wednesday to work car show on Saturday. Have no issues with that gig. Doing yard Wednesday instead of yesterday or today. Leasee mowed near house but left some behind where they could not go with 20' mower so plan was to get our old tractor and 7' mower and pretty it up. Doing great till tractor air locked. Tried to pull it back to my shop with truck but uphill in sand - no bueno. Jack with it Monday when it can pulled with 4WD tractor or truck. Not keen on air bleeding a diesel while doing fire ant dance.

Week looks good eats and exercise wise beginning today.

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
