I am late here. I am not sure what I weigh today, as my last weigh in was Friday. We went on the road to deliver our oldest grandchild into the hands of her aunt (our daughter), uncle, and her four cousins (aka the little monsters). Friday, after almost a week of indiscreet eating, I was up to 264, from 263 1/4 last week. Tomorrow it is back to my regular program, aka the salt mine, as I call it. I will get by - a Grateful Dead reference.
Here is our ride with the trailer. We bought this 10 year old used camper before my surgery. I fit into the booth, but just barely. Along with the outside pic is one of me sliding in with lots of room to spare. My lovely wife and I also fit onto the almost queen sized bed, but nuff said about that. You'll just have to imagine the rest. 
Happy Father's day to all celebrating.
We took a few days to visit family on the New England coast this week. The weather did not cooperate so no swimming or fishing. Now that we are back in Chicago its roasting hot.

I'll take it! 
Ready to get back to "normal" schedule. Ghosting on evenings is killing the quality of sleep for both GF and I. Coming in at midnight and her getting up at 6:30'ish we wake each other up coming and going. Another week of it next week.
Came home last night and GF had gotten a "doggie daddy" Father's Day card for me from her/our dog. Nice as it was made me miss the dog we lost in January. Never a Daddy myself. Closest I ever came was as "Grandpa Don" to X2's granddaughters.
"Do what you think is right!" - epithet on my Dad's tombstone.
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Happy Fathers Day to our fathers and to those that are fathers. I'm lucky to still have mine with me. I'll be with him, and my mom, today celebrating at my sisters house. He retired early, some 35 years ago, so that I could get a job. (There were regulations about relatives in supervision and hiring) One of the things I will always remember him telling me is to keep the family name in good standing. I have dad.
Thanks Dad! If I am half as good as you, I am a success.
Good week to all.

Happy Fathers day to all you dads.
After riding my bike 200 miles last week, I had to recover this week. I aggravated my achilles tendon last weekend, and so I need to lay low for a little while. I'm finally starting back with stretches, and hope in a week or two can start riding again. Still, I'm happy with my weight this morning. Its moving in the right direction.
All the best to the dad's out there. You definitely rock.
I can blame the lug nuts, but I?m pretty sure I?m getting feeble. 
Today I reconfigured my hitch for the camper from the Silverado to the Yukon I inherited from Dad. They are both ?09s, but the truck has 170,000 miles and the Yukon only has 59,000. But anyway...
i was loosening the nuts holding the ball to the drop and thinking, "Who put this on here?!?" Then I remembered. It was a fat guy before he lost all his weight. I got them loose, but it was more work than I care to contemplate. Protein and weights - after we get home from visiting the little monsters.
Thanks, Don. The last young lady I tried to help with a flat tire screamed at me and told me to stop talking to her because she didn't like strangers talking to her. All I said was, "Hey, your tire is flat". And my wife was standing right there with me so it wasn't even like I was trying to hit on her or something. I wouldn't want to be young again either, unless I could take my experience with me. And maybe not even then.
Yeah, I'm in the best shape I've been in for many years too, but I've lost more muscle than I care for. Since it coincides with my WLS I'll blame that - at least for now.
Number 1: Nice to see a gentleman who will stop to help a damsel in distress. 
Women complain that chivalry is dead. I explain to them it is not dead just rusty needing the occasional squirt of "Water Displacement Formula 40".
Number 2: At 56 I'm not too far behind you heading into geezerhood. Depending on how the lug nuts were put on, by hand or impact gun, I have issues getting them lose too. Using those skimpy ass tire tools that come with cars does not help either. Especially the bull**** scissors jacks! 
Number 3: The "young bucks" may out preform us physically but I would not want to be in their shoes, 20's and 30's, now days! Starting careers, kids, relationships etc. There are some advantages to being teetering on the edge of geezerhood!
