Not as strong as I should be. Much of the work is being done as favor paybacks from friends. As I type this, I have a friend in the drive, changing the exhaust manifold gaskets to cure a ticking exhaust leak I thought was taken care of a few months ago.

As for my health, it's not doing much of anything. I've lost 75 pounds since October of last year, and still have more to lose before I'm where I'd like to be. Vertigo is about what it was...there. I just don't pass out as often I was...which is good. Everything else is controlled with medications. I still use a cane daily, and the walker when it's needed. I've learned how to spot warning signs of bad days. When those pop up, I just sit in my chair, and ride out the wave. I've come to the understanding that I'll never be back to where I was, and have come to terms with it.

As I can afford it, work gets done to the truck, which makes the wife happy. 5 years of it as a drive way ornament meant that I had to put up with "the look" on more than one occasion. Now that it's up and running, legally inspected and deemed safe to drive, she's been enjoying driving it. She just informed me today that I need to add Nerf bars soon, as the single step is no longer a viable option for her to climb up. That's fine...I think I can actually do that one on my own!!
