I know you said no prayers, so as far as you know I haven't.😉 However, regardless of your beliefs, I think the following little saying still applies, "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him what you're doing tomorrow." The takeaway obviously works even for atheists and agnostics; today is all we really have. Tomorrow is really just a best guess.
I'm glad to hear you had some enjoyment the other day. Who knows what tomorrow might bring?! You are clearly a good guy, hang in there and grab what you can!

I remember visiting you (with Tom) years ago. Hoping things get better.

Only thing that has changed is my going back to work and the loss of free time.  I'll revisit retirement again but I really enjoy my job.   :thumb:

 When I get out of the wheelchair and stand as best I can, I am 5 feet 17 inches tall.  I don't expect to grow any more.
 Those of you who have camped with me know that I can lounge with my feet close enough to the fire and my head clear away from the smoke.  Most often that was Deep Forest, but several times the Ill noise and Wisconsin, and Iowa, and about three times one in Indiana,  at least a couple in central Oregon, and three on the Oregon coats near the ocean and three on the Washington coast where I got a speeding ticket on the way home.

Good Times in the Deep Forest Jim!!!

'ey Jimmy!

Tell us about the weekend soirees at sunset on the north Kohala Coast.  Details please!  The last couple of times, we saw you at your house.  You mentioned them but no details.  Upolu Point at the old Coast Guard housing or else where?

You still using the 2 wd hack you put together or the Honda?

Bad Chad,  I think they just like to be domineering.  They declared me clear of - after more than two days testing.
 Maybe they are afraid that I will  infect others with immunity. 
 I really miss swimming at Mahukona!  Thanks for the reminder Tom.
 Actually I miss all of Hawaii greatly having spent 1/7th of my life there.

I am a little ‘hurt’ that you don’t miss WA state, Deep Forest and Bruceport. We miss you.
2020 is hard on everyone, but people with health issues OTHER than - are really getting the s**** end of the stick.

 The 2wd hack has been junk in my brothers barn for 3 years now.
 Of course I miss washing done rides.  The monthly breakfasts in Enumclaw, and as I mentioned, deep forests and the coastal
 campouts and many gatherings around the state such as the northwet corner of the state, and many to eastern areas.
