Reality is depressing these days and even most of the topics here on the forum swerve off into the demise of our country in one way or another.
Thought I’d start a new post where folks can post up some good news for a change. Would love to hear what’s good in everyone’s life. No boundaries on what it is as long as it related to them or loved ones - I’ll start.
I decided to make an effort to drop the extra 40 lbs I’m carrying by making some simple lifestyle choices around eating and activity. 6’4 and 275 today - looking for 245 by mid June and 235 when deer season opens in November.

I woke up this morning and found my lungs were sucking air and my heart was pumping blood.
A good day!

Well, we got a new part for our boat and I plan to install it tomorrow. It's winter, so it's a great time to fire up the wood stove in the shop, turn on some Alan Jackson and work on all of the outside equipment.

I took off tomorrow to hunt the last weekend of the deer season.
Good news for me. 😂

There was Jim beam in the cabinet, ice in the freezer and a clean glass in the cupboard when I got home.

The Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross 2000 years ago and forgave all my sins **FREE FOR THE ASKING** I took him up on it in April of 1982. The best news in the universe.

Snow on the Superstitions, pictures are from both ways, looking to Mesa/Phoenix. Last picture you can barely see the mountains in the far back are covered in white... Four Peaks. Supposed to get another half inch tomorrow, we need all we can get. Kent

And semi trucks have been seen in the parking lot during this timeline. If I owned a gun store, that might be the new business model. Store closed except at the beginning and middle of the month. Inventory arrives palletized, brought into store, day before the sale opening hire temps to stock shelves overnight, full crew for the opening, sell everything in one day in this market, count money, turn off lights and lower thermostat to reduce overhead, go home until the next shipment arrives. Lather, rinse and repeat..

I went to the Doc today.
Was informed I'll probably not die tonight.
I had some bluefin tuna for dinner.
My dogs still love me. The wife apparently too, as she returned home from her pottery class instead of running away from home.

We got our hog we ordered in April. Hams, bacon and everything else looks great. Also, my dogs love me but don't know about my wife. 
Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Lots to be Thankful and Happy for here.
-Gotta lose some weight. After second retirement I realize sitting on my butt drinking beer is not a retirement plan. Have lost 17# this past 4 weeks and temporary goal is 12 more, then on to a little more.
-Found 2 packs of 500 rounds of 9mm ammo yesterday for $149 each at Bass Pro. Bought both, one for me and one for my son. Yippeee!
-At Dr. yesterday and all is great for my 68 years with only one small dose of BP meds per day. No other meds
-Got first Covid dose last week and round 2 on February 12.
-Planned a 2 week vacation to the Caribbean in early April for some sun and sand.
- Lastly and most importantly, My Loving Wife still loves me
