Sunday in Alexandria, La.  Cold Sunshine and 45 degrees... picked my only tangerine from my tree today, not sure what happened to the rest of the crop, they fell off early.

Not much other than birthdays in the next few weeks, TW IV, Libbey, and then remembering Momma's Birthday on December 25th.  Also mine will fall in there somewhere.  It will be my 60th year on this planet, could be a time for some self reflection and self advise on how to spend the last quarter of Life.

Well, getting old is no fun sometimes, my arm business turned out to be my C5 try 7 vertebrae in my neck, causing the tingling and twinging down my arm.

Saw the Orthro Dr, then the Neuro Surgeon..... 3 methyl dose packs later and the pain is reduced to on again off again spasms. Nerve blocks are on the way, if this does not reside.  But I am in hopes that it will has each day gets a lil bit better than the last day.

I am not a complainer here, just stating facts... I see now more clearly that good health comes with good common sense.  I question my self as should I have kept on mtn biking and cycling.  Bike spills do happen and I have had my share of the years...

Its just caught up with me now... and as I approach 60... I do want to get over this and move on.

The good thing is right now I am not riding the bike, but I am kayaking which puts no strain on my neck since you don't have to bend over there bike.

Till next time!!!!

It was a good day yesterday on Iatt Lake, Grant Parish, La.  I have been paddling almost every Sunday for a month now.  Bryan and Bradly go with me, its a good Sunday outing.  Above is a photo of one of the smaller "boat roads" in the lake, it passes to the major boat road of the lake.  The photo was taken using a GoPro Hero3.
