As many here may know I am having cervical disc replacement surgery next week and I'm constantly coming up with "I'm going to do this" scenarios. I've had to quit two occupations that I enjoyed do to my neck being so bad so now that it appears that the pain may be coming to an end in the near future I catch myself in a euphoric state of what I am going to do.

#1 is get back on the mountain bike, skiing is up there the doc says is possible but skiing the way I used to ski is dangerous in the first place and I won't be able to tone that level down so he said to stick to mountain biking.

#2 I can take on my old profession(s) if I wish, I was talking to wifey and was commenting that I could get back into electrical or biomed just for grins, side cash whatever.

#3 go back in the Army or its private equivalent. It's really my #1 but wifey keeps moving it to the bottom of the list.
