    Back Again!

    Well, I finally made it back from Tennessee! Four weeks on the road, eating inedible health food (soup, soup, and more soup!) and sleeping in the cab of a U-Haul truck in bad weather, wore me out and I got a case of acute Bronchitis, bordering on Bronchial Pneumonia ..... the doc at the vets hospital told me that it was close as I could get to Pneumonia. I'm better now ..... thanks to God (and Dr. Mom ). My wife is restricting my intake of candy, cookies, cake, etc., and is force-feeding me herbs, vitamins, and edible health food - baking-powder biscuits, fried chicken, beer, and some kinda herb tea .....

    We had a flash freeze down to about 12 or 13 below zero, here in Montana while I was gone, two of my fish tanks are solid ice (didn't break as far as I can tell), froze and cracked all the water pipes in the fish building, the only tank I have left that's running is just about dead, and all the fish in it as well ...... I had a bunch of fish when I left, but now I'm down to 3 or 4 ...... I don't think I'll be doing much the rest of the Winter, except trying to keep the few I have left alive .......

    But I'm back

    and REAL glad to be home again!! Sorry if I missed saying hi to any newbies out there, HI!!

    Jackalope!

    Welcome back big guy...we missed your input and humor. Sorry about your loss, but keep yourself healthy and you can replace the fish.

    Re: Back Again!

    Thanks all, I appreciate the sentiments - BTW, I was the one who put beer on the menu, but methinks she's planning to take it off the menu

    A man needs his carbs to keep his strength up....and beer helps keep the heart merry... :P
