May 20th, 2026 – Stone be Gone; Last of the Trailer Prep for Camping; Garmin Fenix 8 – I Like


I went in for my procedure yesterday, and before the “laser” even got involved the stone came out on its own when they got in there to take care of it. Not very comfortable afterwards, but it did eliminate a third surgery next week! Just a quick office visit left to remove the stent and … Continue reading May 20th, 2026 – Stone be Gone; Last of the Trailer Prep for Camping; Garmin Fenix 8 – I Like

Might as well grab you some cheap … Continue reading May 7th, 2026 – Fuel; It Got Bad…REAL Bad…But It Could Be Worse

March 27th, 2026 – Spearfish, South Dakota for Another Day; FFS


Well…another day…another kidney stone. I ended up at Urgent Care and had to have a CT scan after having some rather concerning symptoms this morning. Apparently the remaining kidney stone that was supposed to stay put now wants to travel as much as I do. I think it probably could have been brought on by … Continue reading March 27th, 2026 – Spearfish, South Dakota for Another Day; FFS
