Well, I Guess This Is My Fault Too . . .
Jan and I were on the way up the Spring area about 9:30 this morning, to meet up with long-time RV friends, Debi and Ed Hurlburt, at the El Palenque Mexican Restaurant there, Jan driving of course.
So we would have more time to talk, we there at 11 this time instead of our usual Noon.
And after our usual great time, as well as setting the time/date/location for next month’s get-together, we were on our way back home by about 2:30, luckily still ahead of the drive-time traffic.
Getting back into our area a little before 4pm, we made a Cowboy Coffee stop before settling in back at the rig.
A really nice day.
Our granddaughter Piper sent over this photo of her and her SO Derek spending time in the Big Bend area this past weekend.
A really nice guy.
And on the subject of grandkids, here’s on Piper and Landon from two years ago.
A couple of really cute kids. Love them both.
Finally I guess it runs in the family.
After suffering for a couple of years from neck/arm/back pains, and trying yoga, massage, etc., and now seeing what I have been going through, our daughter Brandi finally went to see an Orthopedist today.
After getting X-Rays, her doctor said he does not usually see a neck this bad in someone my age.
The 4 & 5 disc have no space between the bones and one bone is a little out of place. He said the degeneration is pretty bad. Need to do an MRI to look at the nerves.
So I guess it begins now for her.
Sorry, Brandi. They say it can be genetic.

It Wasn’t Me . . .
Today was my first day back at work since my surgery and I walked right into a big problem. Our website was down, and had been since around 8:30 last night, since that was when the last order came in.
But a few minutes of checking things out told me that the problem was on GoDaddy’s server end, and not on mind. And after about 30 minutes on the phone with them, they said it was a server problem and it was being worked on.
And sometime around 7:30pm it all came back up.
Tomorrow we’re heading up to the Spring area to meet up with Ed and Debi Hurlburt at El Palenque once again. Really looking forward to it.
Since we’ve been doing a lot of searches involving ‘spinal cords’ recently, this article popped up that seems to show a lot of promise for people with a lot more serious spinal cord problems than I have.
Mouse study points to potential breakthrough against spinal cord injury
Severe spinal cord injuries are incurable today in humans, but a new injectable therapy that restored motion in laboratory mice could pave the way for healing paralyzed people.
The therapy — liquid nanofibers that gel around the damaged spinal cord like a soothing blanket — produces chemical signals that promote healing and reduce scarring, researchers report.
“We found that in about four weeks effectively, somewhere between three and four weeks after injection of the therapy, the paralysis was completely reversed and the mice are able to walk almost normally,” he said.
And now this:
The FDA has asked a federal judge to make the public wait until the year 2076 to disclose all of the data and information it relied upon to license Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. That is not a typo. It wants 55 years to produce this information to the public.
As explained in a prior article, the FDA repeatedly promised “full transparency” with regard to Covid-19 vaccines, including reaffirming “the FDA’s commitment to transparency” when licensing Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
But apparently it won’t be ‘fully transparent’ until 2076.
Makes you wonder what they’re trying to hid?
