Guess it's about time to put pen to paper and let folks know what's been happening with "Opi"😊. I have been out exploring....and camping 2 and 3 day spurts, about every other week or so. Though up until recently its been too hot to do any camping, just piddling around the Home Front... I'm starting to get somewhat comfortable on this style of camping. Haven't done much photography. Need to get back to that. Mostly relaxing sitting on a lake shore or river bank listening to the sounds of nature....and sipping a little whiskey. . I've confined my camping to Missouri and Arkansas for the time being.

I'm still sharing my camping time with Dr. visits, and various and numerous tests.....as they say "practicing medicine". I have had an angiogram, stress tests, Ct Scans, and a slew of pulmonary tests and continue to look at various "other stuff".The Cardio tests so far have not found anything other than stuff I already had and it was stable in fact looked good for a Grumpy Old Man hitting 81 years. The pulmonary tests appear that I 'may' have had something of an acute nature(event driven) vs my chronic respiratory stuff(COPD). I'm currently on nighttime oxygen while they run some additional tests, we'll see how it all shakes out. So for the near term they would like me not to take any trips requiring long distance travel....and that's ok , though I won't find the great vista's I'm used to visiting out West, there is always "Sasquatch Searching" in the Ozarks!😁
