I'm back
« on: October 21, 2026, 02:38:01 AM »
thanks to Ihawk for sending an email the forum was back up

Lot of medical issues for me, had laminectomy on L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4 AND L4-L5 7 weeks ago, prepping for colon surgery, haven't ridden in months, been using the electric grocery carts, today for the first time I pushed a cart, Doc says I'm ok to start going to Planet Fitness. I've lost 65 lbs, maybe 10 or 15 more to go

didn't get any firewood in this year, I'll be heating with oil  :(

Glad you're back! Sorry to hear about the medical issues but it sounds like you're on the road to recovery? You may have to buy some new pants after losing 65 lbs!

GOOD to hear from you Randy!
Hang in there bud - follow Dr's advice. Sometimes they know what they're doing.

I'm a bit over 6'3". Came home from Vietnam at 164lbs. My theory was - if I turn sideways  - they can't see me. It worked a treat  for a while.
