Basket Case

Need I say more?

Got out for a hike today!

The three dogs and I went to Johnny Park, West of Longmont & Lyons

A nice ~5 mile hike


Here's where we stopped to turn around, looking East, toward Buttonrock


Sandy enjoyed the hike thoroughly


As did Porter


Tachikoma had fun, too, but missed her momma and was ready to head home

Nice day for a piggy-back ride

75 degrees in the middle of November?

Merlin's not complaining!

Deer at Margie's House

The mule deer are thick and bold in Colorado Springs!

So here's the view through the back of my skull (mirror image, anyway). You can see my two fake teeth glowing brightly in this X-Ray. This image was taken as a safety precaution prior to my shoulder-pain-diagnostic MRI, as I noted that there was a slight chance I had a metal particle embedded in my eye. (I was pretty sure my contact lens saved me from the metal particle years ago, but I wouldn't want to find out the hard way, by having the large magnet pull a ferromagnetic particle out of my eyeball!)

Anyway, the MRI showed that I apparently have a "moderately" torn rotator cuff and a damaged labrum. I just got these results a few hourse ago, and am debating the urgency of surgery.... We shall see!
