Happy Birthday, Lead!

That happen to me sometimes, when my kilts's too short!

Thanks to everyone for the support. I have been truly blessed. First, with good health, opportunity and a good career that has allowed me to provide and raise a family comfortably (I did pay my "dues" early on with my employer!). And now for my wife, Deb to have gone through successfully prove He watches over me. I know that life can turn at any time, as you say Papa, so I appreciate every day! Spending some time in a hospital opens ones eyes to our mortality!

Happy Birthday, Chad! Have a good one.....you get a weekend to celebrate!!

Glad you caught it in time Scott! Wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see you in COD2 soon!

After even more test of lymph nodes in the lungs (as well as outside, tested previously) she appears to be cancer free! We will be celebrating at XI Fest, for sure!!

So.. our place pales in comparison to many beautiful homes on a large all sports lake. But at least the view is the same as my neighbrs!: Unfortunately, due to the above work and the bad news I have not had much "play" time, other than an occassional couple rounds. Parallel to the work, as some of you know from FB, my wife of 24 years, Debra was diagnosed with lung cancer. Having lost her dad 69 yrs old) and brother (45 yrs old) to it, this was not good news. She has just went through a right upper lobectomy, not an easy surgery. After seven (beautiful) days in the hospital, she is home recovering. All went well with the surgery. And, fortunately, the good news.....

Okay, so the first good news is more about why I've not been on my favs, COD2 & COD5 much lately. Besides our short summers here in Michigan, the time had come to overhaul the house, 20 plus years after adding on to it. Roof needed replaced from all the abuse it gets from the sometimes harsh winters and winds we get. So, we opted to "get the red out", you might says, so once roof was done (by others, too steep for me these days) I replaced a lot of wood siding and trim, following by staining both garage and home. Watched a lot of beautiful days roll by, but busted ass for about 4 weeks around day job to get done. Need a few more touchups and accents replaced, but here's a few before and afters:

Welcome to the clan, you Idiot!
