Goodby January, 2009

It's hard to believe January is already gone. Time keeps on ticking, ticking...ticking away.

It is 52 degrees and sunny so Buddy and I took "Lights Out" for a run. We went across the river to Guntersville State Park. I took a couple of pictures from the boat.

In a couple of weeks the FLW 3-day pro-fishing contest will start and the bass boats will launch from the park. I may go over there and watch. I hope I see Clay Dyer. I met him and his father at the beginning of January while he was fishing by my boat dock in preparation for this contest. He is quite a great fisherman despite his handicap. What an inspiration. I recommend you see his story by clicking on the My Stories and Links in the right-hand pane.

My vision is deteriorating due to Cataracts. Yesterday I had a pre-surgery check of my eyes. I will have Cataract surgery on my right eye on February 24, 2009. Depending on the results I may have it done on my left eye later. I will need a family member with me for 48 hours during and after the surgery. Tentatively, Phillip will be here.

That's it for now.

  2. I have enjoyed the warm weather here...yesterday and today we had perfect weather. Right now, I don't think we will be able to come up there for your surgery, but I will let you know if that changes.
