You're right. I've been busy for months. You remember the bathroom remodel I did last year? Well then it was rip up the carpet and padding in the bedroom, clean up the molding, replace some beat up molding around the door and paint the bedroom. Then same for the stairs and hallway upstairs. Then remodel the main bath upstairs. Got the bathroom door back on they day before our daughter flew in for Christmas. Definitely need the extra bath when she's here.

So the whole 2nd floor has been done in the last 2 years. Three bedrooms, 2 baths, hallway and stairs. Now I'm ready to jump in the motorhome and head to Fl. Won't be leaving until the end of the month but the wind chill here is close to 0 today so I wouldn't mind going now.

So I don't know what everyone else has been up to.

I'm working supporting Flint Tony and HankSS lifestyle here in Michigan so they can live the good life. I don't even get a thank you or pat on the back.

Pretty sure I've said thanks, keep up the good work more than once. Maybe I'll see Tony if he's in Fl when we head down there. I'll let him know he needs to give you a pat on the back the next time he sees you. Maybe a little rub on the head too. Oh, and stop your bitchin, you could retire if you wanted to.

Well that make everything good hearing that, I really like my new job right now as I get to play with some pretty cool things so I will work till it's no fun or When Leslie is ready to retire. I will be heading down to Florida for a boat show in early March on our A/C units and Marine sunroofs. Where will you guys be?

Plus my new project will be a JK jeep this year so I will be spending some money I'm sure as just between the lift kit and tires and wheels will be 5K.

I'm here. Just don't post much anywhere.

I've been clearing land with an ax, a chainsaw, a shovel, and a sawsall. Well, I WAS using the hand tools until the County Inspector came over and told me about the rattlesnakes that are in a hibernation state. They are living in the holes in the ground under the palmetto branches that I've been digging up. After doing a search, I found out that he wasn't bullshitting! So I had a guy come in with a machine and cut the major stuff down. Been raking and cleaning up brush for over a month.
I don't ever want to leave here now. When it gets hot, I may change my mind though.

Hank, if you are coming to Fla, give me a call. Would like you to stop by if possible. And Ric, same for you if you head down.

Ric, are you still going to get a paycheck if you come to Fla? Don't be taking any stinkin time off, as Hank, Kathy, and I will still expect to see your "donation" to our retired lifestyle.

My take is since Nancy disappeared. Everyone got quiet. She seemed to be the catalyst for the discussions.

It is 11 degrees here. I got to clear the driveway so I can play musical cars this morning. Get a new malibu in the shop for a brake job. Got to make some money. Even if it isn't news worthy.

Be thankful, it's 6 degrees here so it could be worse. I mentioned the stuff I've been doing but it's not really news worthy either. I've been jumping from one project to another. Today headed over to my son's house. Helping him rebuild a leaking tile shelf at the end of his bath tub. Just more work, nothing fun to report.

Tony, we were hoping you would be there. Would really like to stop in and see the place as well as you and Kathy. We'll be leaving here last week in January, our reservation is from Feb 1 to end of March. I'll give you a call, we can leave a day early and hang out with you and Kathy for a day. Just get rid of the rattlesnakes before we get there.

Ric, where is the boat show in Fl, Miami? We'll be a little south of Miami, maybe we can get together.

FlintTony

01-06-2017, 06:35 PM

Sounds good Hank. For a nominal fee, I can arrange for a reserved parking space for your rig. Overnight camping is available for a small upcharge. Of course, power and water will be additional. Shall I contact our reservations dept for a confirmation?

Hank70SS

01-07-2017, 08:28 AM

Awesome Tony, what are check-in and check-out times? Do you have cable TV? How about sites with full hookups, 50 amp 240v, water and sewer? The Wifi in most parks sucks, how is the wifi there? I assume all the land your clearing is for the gun range, will that be open when I arrive? Is it free for guests or is there an additional charge?

FlintTony

01-07-2017, 10:22 AM

First I must apologize for the slow response to a potential "guest" Mr. Hank, as I had to shoot over to a garage sale this morning. (Scored some neat old American made tools and misc shit!) I have spoken to our campsite director about your concerns. Allow me to share the information from the director.

Check-in times will vary, although I'm sure you understand that a check-in before 6 pm on any given day will constitute a full days rental. Also I was informed that we can no longer accept AARP discount coupons for a daily reduction in fees.

Sorry that we do not have cable TV, as we are some distance from the nearest servers lines. We do offer, for a small fee of course, a satellite option. Meaning that on a clear night, you should be able to see a satellite at about 180 degrees North by 242 degrees West.

Full hook-ups, with all inclusive amenities, are available. There again, I'm sure you will understand about the "upcharges" for this service. We can accommodate your request for this upcharge as soon as we have your credit card information finalized.

WIFI is available also, with standard rates to be determined after consultation with the "entertainment director". The fee is a very reasonable 100$ per hour of usage.

Yes, you are correct in your assumption that the gun range will be open to guests at most times during your stay. The only policy that we demand that you adhere to is the "no guest ammunition allowed". You may purchase nearly any caliber of ammo you wish from our well stocked supply depot. The price of ammo will be slightly more than the local shooting supply stores ask, as I'm sure that you understand we have to make a small profit to keep the operation successful. We can offer you a .22 caliber long rifle bullet for 2.74 cents per round, all the way up to a .223 or .556 for 15.00 per round.

If you have any other concerns or questions, feel free to ask.

PS. There is alcohol provided to all guests free of charge.

Hank70SS

01-07-2017, 03:01 PM

I'm not real happy about all the upcharges. Was about to say forget it, not interested. Then I read your PS at the bottom, so I'm in!

I am green with envy Tony. I long for the day that I have enough land for my own personal gun range and lots of room for my dogs to run around.

Not much new to report here either. I was sick for about three weeks, I finally seem to be over it. I have basically been going to work every day, not much else.

Being sick for three weeks would be a real pain in the ass I imagine. Was it the flu?

I will be down here until the end of March. If you ever get the urge to come up for a visit, you are more than welcome.

Tony, let me know when the range is done. I'll go throw some lead with you. If the timing is right, might have my father's 67' C10 done. That would be a great road trip to stretch it's legs.

Hell, I don't know when I'll have a real "range". I just step out the back door of the shop, aim at my "Obama target", and fire away! You can do the same. Come on up anytime. I'll try and send you a PM with my number.

I like ammo.

Careful Hank, I heard that the price of ammo is going to have a major price jump in a month or so.

Hank70SS

RBeckman

01-13-2017, 07:36 PM

Now yer talkin Ric. I spent a lot of my younger years at Angelos Coney. Last time I was there, the place is a shithole. Way too may illegals, hood-rats, and just plain ole Eastide trash in there. The neighborhood is like a third-world country now. Same with Luigis Pizza.

I'm sure it still is as I have not been there in 30 years when I worked at Buick. There is one at US-23 and Grand Blanc Rd that is good and coney sauce taste the same.

There is a good coney in Fenton at US23 and Owen Rd called Mega Coney...the best Flint style coneys.

Flint style is more meaty than Detroit base sauce and most of coney around here will ask you if you want Flint Syle or Detroit style when you order.

Okay, I've had them, not bad. Having worked in downtown Detroit for a number of years, American and Lafayette Coney Islands just around the corner, I prefer Detroit style. Where was that place in Fenton we went to Ric? As I recall they had Detroit style and were good. Kerby's and a little place in Brighton, Grecian Island, do a pretty good job with Detroit style. Not inclined to drive 50+ miles to downtown Detroit to go to Lafayette Coney but I would like one or two. Damn, now I'm hungry.

Believe it or not, they do ship the Kogels Hot dogs as well as the coney sauce around the US. I did ship some to my son and daughter in-law in AZ as well as Better Made chips and some Faygo Pop and Vernors ginger Ale.....all Michigan favorites. When my brother comes up from Georgia he loads up with all this stuff to take back home.

I see Nancy every now and then on FB. Her and Dave are walkin on egg shells waitin to see if they get a house in Texas and sell the one they have now.

I come on here now n then, but not much to post about.

Did have another weekend stint at Garden City Hospital Acute ER a few weeks ago. Judy and I don't sleep in the same room anymore because of her snoring and on a Saturday morning about 6:00am I felt like I was burning up. Got hard to breathe and my heart felt like it was gonna jump right out of my chest. I called her name about half dozen times....nothin. Finally I sat on the side of the bed and beat my foot on the floor, that got her attention. Whats a matter......somethings wrong, I cant breathe. Get dressed we're goin in.

Soon as we got inside the Emergency doors the girl had a wheelchair there and off we went. That is the first time I've been taken to "ACUTE" ER section. I had about 6 or 7 guys workin on me in nothin flat.........guess I didn't look so good. Anyways, my BP was 225/??, heart rate was off the wall, breathing was terrible and I was dehydrated.

They put 2 IV's in, gave me a breathing treatments and somehow got my BP down some. 2 days later I was back to my normal (whats normal??) self and they let me go home.

01-16-2017, 03:53 PM

I am still here. This past 4 months have been crazy for me. David and I have been looking for a house in Texas. We have friends and family down near San Antonio and we have been spending hours and hours on the computer looking at houses, then we have them go and look at the houses and then we decide. Unfortunately we have had too many close calls, we are prepared to make an offer and the agent tells us that the house is off the market. This has happened more times than I care to tell you. So our search continues. But I am pretty sure that by the time we move that I will know every city and expressway around San Antonio and Austin.

It has been rough on Davids health, all the stress with looking for a house. So we have had some difficult times.

We were prepared to move before November so I hung onto my car so that we could just ship it down to Texas. Well as you can see we are still here and I am pissed at myself that I didn't put her into a climate controlled storage like I had for the past 4 years. She has been sitting in the cold garage and I am hoping that she is OK once we have to move her.

My oldest daughter got married at the end of November. She decided to get married where she and her fiance'. now husband live. So they flew all the parents out to Las Vegas for the wedding. So I spent the week in Vegas, wish I could say that I came back with a pocket full of cash, but I can't.

Once we got back I was right into adopting families for the holidays for Audiokarma.org. I shopped with 20+ families and seniors providing them with gifts, essentials and food for Christmas. All the while I was doing that I was working on the worst cold. So I spent the week between Christmas and New Years fighting a really bad cold, still have the damn cough from that cold.

So here we are today. I have been checking in here, just not posting. But I have to try to bring back some life and excitement cause there are a great group of people here.

I hope everyone had a Happy Holiday and are looking forward to a great cruising season.

After dinner today I was in the computer room watchin TV and Judy was downstairs watchin the Dog Show on TV. I went downstairs and we both had some really great Valentines Day cake. Went back up stairs sitting there watchin "The Wall" on TV and noticed my left hand was feeling numb. Thought I was leaning on my arm wrong so I changed positions and nothing helped. Then my arm was going numb and the left side of my mouth was also and all the way down to my left foot. I hobbled downstairs and told her somethings wrong.

She said I'm not driving you this time...........hello 911.

Seems I had something called a TIA which is a "warning stroke" with stroke like symptoms that come on real fast but don't last long and does not cause brain damage.

Right away they did a CT scan of my head, 2 IV's, blood tests and just monitored me for a few hours. Doctor came back and said all tests and scans look good and to take it easy for a few days. He said its hard to nail down what caused it but gave me some pointers on things to do in the near future to make sure this doesn't happen again.

WELL FFS ( for f--ks sake)

Well, it happened........had a stroke Sunday night. Had the same symptoms as Tuesday but they were lasting longer so Judy called 911.......guys went Hi Mr. Hayes (not good when EMT's know your name) and off we went. On the way there they said my BP was 244.......dont think it really was cuz at the hospital it was 190.

They did a MRI and more tests but couldnt nail down what caused it. Anyways befor being released my Doctor said I DID have a full blown Stroke and I was very lucky that there were no lasting effects from it. He put me on 3 meds and said I'll see you in a week.

The MRI showed some very old damage to the right side of the brain and the only time I had any damage to the head was in 68 when I hit the top of the windshield frame in a accident. Thats the only thing I can think of.

Came home around 4:30, took a shower, got dressed. Judy said lets go out to eat if your up to it? Hell yeah, I can handle it. Looked around for something I had in the hospital and Judy said she put it in the drawer in the desk at the hospital. Damn, I forgot it there. Good thing the hospital is only 2 miles from the house. Went back up on the 2nd floor and was approaching the Nurses station. Really sharp blonde nurse looks at me, raises her hand and says "Hey, weren't you in here a little while ago?" I said that was my twin brother and he had a stroke........she says oh, you look just like him.......I said that's because we are twins.........oh yeah. The other nurse that was my nurse says "Hi Ken"...I smiled. My nurses aid was a 28 year old fox who said, you come back to ask me out........jokingly. Said I left something in the desk........so she looked, is this it? Yep, aren't you glad we don't clean the rooms....jokingly. Then I went to dinner.

I feel pretty good but I'm getting tired of scaring myself and Judy.

I HAVE A HUNCH........

I've got an appt with my regular Doctor on Friday......I have a hunch I didnt really have a TIA or a Stroke at all. Both Tuesday (TIA day) and Sunday (Stroke day) I was sitting in the same chair in exactly the same position when I got the symptoms. (all the numbness) At the hospital and after all the tests (that I passed) the Doctors and head of Neurology could not pinpoint the exact cause of these symptoms.

This morning I sat in the same chair in the same position and I'll be damned if the symptoms didnt come back. OH CRAP, is what I'm thinkin........NOT AGAIN !! So I got up and moved around for a few minutes and they went away. I sat down again (twice).....sure as shit, the symptoms came back both times. I'm thinking now that its a pinched nerve somewheres. Gonna have my Doc recommend someone close to here that can check me out. Man I'm knockin on wood, lookin for my rabbits foot and hopin I'm right on this one.

I ran my theory by the Doctor today that saw me in the Hospital. He said that no one even thought of that, cuz my symptoms were that of a stroke but it is a very good possibility that's what it is. I'll find out tomorrow.

Ken Hayes

03-07-2017, 12:25 AM

Went to my Doctor and he checked my BP, was a little too high for him. Gave me 3 scripts for BP meds. Ran by him my theory and he's kinda iffy on it. Says get your BP down to at least in the 140's before we do any chiropractor stuff. I go back to see him on the 16th.

I have my own BP machine at home (its a good one) and am checkin it daily. After a week I went from 169/86 to 144/80. Been in the 140's for 3 days now. (I did some more checkin on my own and found out that men over 50 will have higher than normal BP. Also with me havin COPD its gonna be higher anyways.)

Oh yeah, I kept on playin around with my sitting positions and symptoms would come back until I moved around some. I did some checkin with my old office chair and found that the seat cushion is lower towards the rear than the front. (I had no problems with that chair) I looked at my new office chair and its set up opposite. So I loosened the front bolts and inserted 3/4" spacers and longer bolts. Seat feels better and no symptoms anymore.

I got the back thing going on to. I use a pillow in the small of my back in a chair. That really helps me. There are stretching and exercises you do strengthen your lower back that really make a difference.

I got all this stuff from my dad who sees a chiropractor. Seems this lower back pain is a family affair.

Sit ups, crunches is one of the best things you can do for your back. Seems strange but strengthening the abdominal muscles takes a lot of stress off the back.

My vision in my right eye is finally coming back. Still blurry, but getting better. A week ago, I was pulling vines from the trees at my brothers place. Yanked on a pretty good sized one that was wrapped around a dead branch. Branch was about 2" in diameter. It snapped off and came flying down, like a slingshot, and gouged a trench in my eyeball. I had no idea that a scratched eyeball could cause that much pain.

Hank, I have all the palmetto roots dug out now. There are some smaller ones that are buried pretty deep, but the big bastards are gone. That is a major accomplishment.

Went to the Docs today and showed him my BP results for last 15 days. Well, you only have a few days in the 140's...........so he took it this morning 139/78......THATS GREAT!! these numbers look pretty good to me.

I told him about repositioning the seat cushion on my chair and I have no more stroke like symptoms and he said that's good. As far as going to a Chiropractor he kinda balked and said maybe you just need a good massage...........HOT DAMN, never had one of those.

LOL be careful going to get a massage. That is the new callgirl secret handshake. Or don't and just live it up.

Went and saw a Chiropractor here by the house on Friday. Told him about my symptoms and my theory about a nerve being pinched and me adjusting my seat cushion. This Doctor has been doing this for about 35years, so I trust his judgement.

They took 3 xrays, 2 of the neck area and one full spine. He looked at 1 neck xray and said I diagnosed my problem very good. He showed me the xray and said for a 70 year old person my bones look great.........except for one area. He said I have an old injury that is causing two of my vertebrae to try and grow together and they are pinching a nerve that goes directly to my left hand and left side of my body. Said the injury looks like it might be about 50 years old.........HOLY CRAP, 49 years ago I was in a car accident where I hit the windshield frame with my forehead. I never told him about this before hand.

Long story made short, he said I can fix this up in less than a month. Go back to see him tomorrow and Wed.
