I'm a medically retired vet looking to find my way in life. I've started this blog to bring awareness to my own personal struggles.

My long term goal is to sustain happiness and to touch as many people as possible.
Pretty much first full week
So, I have spent the last week pretty much in OH, ID, NY, NJ, PA, MD, VA and NC. Most of the traveling has been rather quit beautiful, if you stay out of the city. I'm not much of a city fan any how. Driving in the mountains of NY and Pa don't compare to …

Life is about change
So I realized its been sometime since I have added to my blog. Between the health epidemic and life, it just got away from me. As a matter of fact, have nit even been on the trail since last spring. I have completely social distance myself from people, just no risk in attracting this virus. …
Guess what… still hot
Well time has gotten the better of me. Yes, its been several weeks since I have had a post on here. Had the back surgery one month ago and still having severe leg pain. It feels like a knife is being jabbed in my leg. The sensitivity to the thigh is well over normal. On …

Just a Sunday stroll
Todays hiked Eisenhower park, right outside Camp Bullis, just outside of the city limits. I was a little surprised at the lack out people on such a fine day. The temp was right around 90, not my favorite, but with the light breeze, it was nice. The park Is not exceptionally large but there is …
