Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. (I've been entertaining and stuff)....

Looking great there brother.  Hit me up we need to catch up and chew some cow.  Extra lean cow of course, in small portions.

Happy to see you posting and doing well, T!

I too was wondering about the clothes thing!!  T, your an inspiration for those of us who some day dream of living in paradise half naked!!  Glad you guys had fun!!

LOOK AT YOU BEING ALL SEXY AND EVERYTHING WITH YOUR SHIRT OPEN AND SHOWING OFF YOUR CHEST!! LOL!! GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE STILL ALIVE AND KICKING!

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing!!  I want to look that good some day!  Right now I look like I got into a fight with a weedeater!

What can I say, but thank you to the group for saying such wonderful things about your old pirate buddy.  (and no we're not naked...at least not in that shot...lol)....  needless to say as most of you know I'm a HUGE believer in making things happen in your life that you deem necessary for happiness.... 

I'm fortunate that I've had such a wonderful time in life and I will always continue to try to make the most of life while I've got the chance.  In fact, now that I think about it.....we're all adventurers.....we've all risked having this surgery just to see how life can turn positive out of so many years of either food addiction or simply struggling against the "establishment"  Oh BTW the "establishment"= Braums & Ben and Jerry's...heheh...

If a really poor kid from Mississippi can reach for the stars and find a few to guide him along, then I know the good life is possible for anyone who is willing to dream big and act on them!  And hey Jay, I also had the whole "weedwacker" effect...and brother...the scars do leave you after a while!  You're already sexy my brother, the rest of you is trying to catch up!
