Taken just before Christmas on my way home from work. So afraid of another “Snowmageddon” which left over 1,000 people stranded at work for three days, our company decided to let us go home early. We don’t get much snow down here in the deep south but when we do it shuts down the entire city/state.
A dash cam captured my trip from work to the first traffic light. I edited it and added music to try to make it more interesting.
Hope you enjoy.

Only 163 more days. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, although dim, I can still see it. Some days, like today, it seems that it will never get here. I’m not exactly sure what I’ll be doing once I retire but I’m sure it won’t be dealing with some of the crap that I have to deal with now on a daily basis. I know that I’ll have to find something to do otherwise I’ll get as big as the side of the barn. I have several hobbies that will keep me from sitting on the couch and there’s always yard work to do. Maybe I’ll find a job that I can drive people around a couple days a week. Who knows?

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted an update and I do apologize for that. With my health such a roller coaster and my job is as crazy as it is well, I just haven’t taken the time to write.
First of all, let me say that I’m feeling better today than I have in years. Seriously, with all the crap my body has been going through, it’s about time. But, I have a feeling that it’s about to change for the worse again.
We found out that the meds for my CML was causing all the fluid to build up around my heart and lungs; more so the lungs. In short, the oncologist took me off my meds and my pulmonologist took 1.5 liters of fluid off my left lung. He left fluid in my right lung due to him not wanting the infection to set in on either or both the lungs. A heavy dose of Lasix and now my right lung is clear of fluid. In two weeks I see my oncologist and a new med will be prescribed and one of the main side effects is fluid retention. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
At this writing, I will be retiring on August 15th of this year. After 32 years I’ve finally had enough, well, I’ve had enough long ago but I can officially retire when I turn 55 so I’m turning in my notice. I’ve got a lot of hobbies so I know I will stay busy.
I’m working on a Youtube video about the tornado that went through our city back in 2011 and I’m doing some test shots with my drone. Let me know what you think of it. In the video that I’m working on, I will hopefully show some areas of our city that still shows some damage that the tornado left. I will also show areas of major improvements that wouldn’t have happened if the tornado hadn’t visited our city.
There’s a lot more going on but I’ll post about it later. I hope you enjoy the video.
