I got up at about 07:20 today, and decided to go for another bike ride. It was again, about 43 degrees with clear skies and almost no wind. Except for being so cold, it was just about perfect riding weather. A friend of mine, Bill B. suggested an App I can put on my phone that will do the tracking of my rides and some other stuff, so I'm going to be checking it out in a couple of days. I don't have a plan to ride tomorrow, so it will just have to wait... maybe until Monday.

I took the girls over to ride their bikes and both of them had a great time. Both of them even fell, or maybe a better description would be lost their balance, and got right back up and on their bikes. I was very proud of that - and happy. I let them ride for about 45 minutes, so they not only have some fun they also got some exercise in, and I think that is a good thing. We all need to get more exercise.

Not much else going on today. We basically just stayed home, and didn't even have to start the car or truck (or van). We had planned on getting a picture of the van today, with the girls and Jason, but this time Linda wasn't feeling well, so it was put off, and due to scheduling conflicts it won't happen until this next Tuesday. The projected weather says it is supposed to be a nice day, so it should work out, I hope.

Tomorrow, Jason and I are again planning on going over to the International Auto Show, as we have been given a couple of tickets, or passes or whatever they are. This is the show we were wanting to go to when we went up to Los Angeles, over Thanksgiving, but didn't get to see the show then. Anyway, it should be fun for us. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a ...

Again, I have no reasonable excuse other than to say I got side tracked. On the last post I mentioned that Jason had gotten injured, while playing in the hockey tournament. Well, as it turned out it was a more serious injury than either of us had suspected. The outcome was that he lost some soft tissue and a section of his pelvic bone was exposed (about the size of a quarter) and he is now required to have a wound-vac so that it can heal properly. This means that he has to spend most of his time in bed and can only be up in his chair for no more than 20 minutes at a time, and that followed by hours of rest time. The rest time is for the injury, and not necessarily for Jason, as he isn't tired. As you can imagine, he gets very board with this "life style" and wants to get up and go do something. We've been going in to wound-care frequently, once or twice each week, and they keep telling us, "...we'll take a look at it next week, to see what happens next....

Happy St. Patty's Day!

To day was a good day for Jason, as they removed the breathing tube from his mouth and throat, and his medications and pain meds were lowered. All this lead to him being able to begin talking to us, and have visitors, other than from family. On top of that, Bridgette came with the girls today (she went a short time ago to go pick them up), so he'll be able to see and speak with them as well. Of course tomorrow is Friday, and he is scheduled for another surgery (I'll talk more about that later) so we will need to go visit with him early in the morning, and then later tomorrow we will be able to visit with him again. He was visited by a bunch of different doctors with all of them asking him the same basic questions of, "How are you feeling? Where do you have pain? Can you tell me where you are?" etc., etc. Then came the psychiatrist, who wanted to be sure of his mental abilities and neurological issues. He began with those same questions then asked, "Do you know wh...
