Just got back from a great Vaca' in the Rivera Maya at the Iberostar Parasio Grand. We were supposed to go there back in August for my 60th, but they were shutdown for Covid.  They reopened  several months ago, so they were back on our radar.  Brother Dick and his bride had to canx back in August since he was literally in a Covid Hospital up in Minnesota, but they had a credit awaiting them.  Since Holly's bday was coming up, we zero'd in on mid January and made it happen.  BUT..... A week or so before depart, CDC changed the rules on us.  We had to have a COVID tests to return on the 26th ( the first day of the new rule) and a lot of folks traveling that way were squirming.  Well, I've got a rockstar travel agent I was using on this trip and they informed me that the Iberostar folks would take care of it all at no cost to us.  To make sure we were 'gold', we all four got tested a few days BEFORE heading to Mexico (what if!?) and with our negative...

Watched my F350 dually and 43' Raptor ... head down the road with it's new owner. Man .. that was a rough one. Gonna really miss that truck. But.. on to my next phase in life  That truck only had 45k on the odometer after seven years. Drove like a cadillac.  But, we'd made the decision to sell our 43' Raptor toyhauler and that was the only reason I'd bought a dually in the first place.  Considered lifting it, and putting some 'real tires' on it.. but mama doesn't like driving a truck that big so .... made the decision to let it go to.  Great part is, the new owner of the Raptor needed a truck so he bought both in the same deal.  Had a couple of fixes done on the Raptor few weeks ago, and he drove off with an awesome setup.  Now ...   do I get a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton, setup with lift and proper tires?  Hmmmmmmmmm

Just booked my 5th trip for 2021 to the country of Mexico ... about to get crazy.....   This will be the second time since 2006 I've done a fiver.  Maybe... need to raise the bar and figure out .. a 6th?

Few weeks ago, pulled down the blogs; few days ago put them back up.  Was putting way too much time into them; that was never the purpose I'd originally had.  Probably putting up 'too much information' as of late about my personal life.  But still, deep down I enjoy the notes.. the journal .. of it all. So, for now.. I'm going to take a deep breath and pull back on this Blog. However, I've got too many years and effort in it to just 'delete' it. Maybe I'll come back to it in time as some of my interests pique and grow.  In the meantime .. I'm going to spend more time on another Blog I created.  Been back in the gym the last month and making good gains.  Something I've written about sporadically over the years, always getting interrupted by injuries.  Shit will probably happen again .. but.. now that I'm 60 .. truly getting into shape is more of my focus than ever before.  So.. I'll focus my energy on that ..  and ..  maybe write about it...
