Everyone comes from different starting points all over the area, so we gather together at the restaurant....

I always read your blog, if you are counting. I enjoy seeing the "guys on the road" where you stop and the interesting places you eat. I will be starting my RV'ing next month, and yes a few butterflys, but no fear.

I must admit I skim down my sidebar checking titles on blog's first to see if something jumps out & grabs me. There is much to be said for titles. On rainy days maybe if you titled your blog. 'Got My Ass Wet; it might grab some attention. Bet it's a great feeling to get an annual bill of clean health especially after the cancer. Maybe see you around somewhere this winter but not likely we will ever get anywhere near Phoenix.

I seem to recall referring to one of the polyps being removed as "Looking like a wee haggus". The team "behind me" were stifling a couple chuckles. Is it nerves, do you think? May as well laugh as cry about it, I always say.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-71536569375408291892014-09-28T22:14:08.416-05:002014-09-28T22:14:08.416-05:00Rod, glad you were able to check out of your medic...<br />Rod, glad you were able to check out of your medical appointment with such great news..... CONGRATULATIONS !!! I have been traveling and did not check in so that's my excuse and my reason to be counted among the missing.... I always enjoy the bike rides and the towns you visit....keep those trips coming ... When I was young in KC, Richmond Missouri was known for huge chicken farms ....they went on for miles and miles... Did you see any? <br />Glad you are gearing up to travel and head to the southwest .....

My average is twenty views, but I do not have a fascinating blog.<br /><br />I have ridden bikes my whole life and most times as a loner, just never found poker runs interesting. I do know you have a great time on the road though.

I am glad to know that you are doing well. I am very well acquainted with the problem of seek & find veins. Been there too many times. Anyway, good that you got it over with one more time, and came with good results to boot! Suppose the weather will make the decision about when you head west. I remember that you act quickly! One day in KC, maybe the next in AZ! Take care.

Good to hear you have been chased out of the clinic and sent on your way for the next year. Not sure when we are heading south as Brenda's knee is not healing as quickly as we would like and it is difficult for her to travel at this point.<br /><br />Fall is definitely in the air here at Dogpound North, what with our early September snow and some more recents winds and rain our leaves are carpeting the ground rather than shading us now.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016073653349776611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-43338384376075007002014-09-28T19:58:35.023-05:002014-09-28T19:58:35.023-05:00Yep u still have - readers.
