Three weeks post-op. The swelling is almost gone and the scar is getting less noticeable. As long as I’m careful about moving my neck and remember not to lift things I feel great.

Blue skies at Lynn Canyon Park. Did the suspension bridge and hiked for about an hour and a half this morning.

13 days since my C4-6 fusion. The worst thing now is the tightness around the incision as it heals.
I’ve had no arthritis since the surgery. Post-op pain, but not the nerve pain I was having. It’s so much better.
I’m really glad I had the surgery. It’s been a life-changer.

Tired, sore, but on the road to recovery. I dressed myself and walked unescorted to the nurses’ station and back to my room several times.

I’m having surgery tomorrow morning and will probably not be online much for a day or two from this evening. Mellissa will post updates of how I’m doing.

It’s finally a warm AND dry AND calm day, and the hardware store had rattle cans of Rustoleum Satin in ‘Espresso’ - what’s a guy to do?
Batch-prime Zulus, thousands of ‘em - and a dozen Dark Age cavalry and a few 3d printed houses - that’s what!

Watch Vance and Trump’s behavior with Zelensky.
If that’s how they treat a world leader while being filmed, imagine how they treat their wives and children in private.

Did a bit of hobby work this afternoon towards some Vietnam War gaming I’d like to do using a variant of “Rapid Fire! Reloaded”. I have two different versions of this vehicle and decided to build the basic APC first and then the Fire Support version.

I’m unclear how naming a sub after a craft involved in a comprehensive victory in 1805 instead of a narrow and costly one in 1415 is “woke”, but…
Everyone is missing the most important aspect of this story.
Will it fall out with HMS Agamemnon, get in a massive grump and refuse to fight?

It has been said that an optimist, on waking, leaps out of bed and says “Good morning, God!” whereas a pessimist opens one eye and says “Good God: morning.” I’m somewhere in between, but the day looks promising.

28mm wagon by Sarissa Precision. A fun little build that hardly needed glue, and will be a great accessory for my Anglo-Zulu War British.
