Walking the next day.

Walking a quarter mile on Friday.

Expected to leave in another 2-3 days.

Full recovery in 6-8 weeks.

Sadly, the state of innovation of the medical arts will stall once we get rid of the profit motive with Socialized medicine if the DNC types get their way. 

Dad is doing ok. He’s wired like a Google internet server though, and is comfortable as can be expected.

Today is the day for his heart valve replacement.

Supposed to be all but “routine” and all, but still….open heart surgery.

So whatever good energy you can send his and her way would be appreciated.

Thanks

Also did some pattern work. 3 landings and a go around. There was only a 45 minute window to rent a 172 today, and the following week is gonna be too busy for me to be able to fly. The three landings were decent, and the wind gust caused me to weathervane at about 5 feet before landing, so I saved the tires and went around instead of skidding sideways.

As Aaron puts it, 0.6 and 3. (and 9/10, but that doesn’t really count)

So, apparently, someone pulled the funding for transport and Food and Water and other logistics…

And, oddly, the Migrant Convoy has splintered…with about a third of them turning back, a third staying in shelters along the southern Mexican border, and a third still undecided. 

Probably most of ’em don’t wanna continue now that they aren’t getting paid without any food/water/sanitation/transport provided…

But they simply turned it off and then back on again.

Apparently, it worked though. 

Pretty inept, whoever the perpetrator was….If they wanted to do more than scare people and make a big HuHu.

I still hope that whoever he or she is, they catch him and incarcerate him for a long time.

ETA: Apparently a suspect in Custody….and (and this is significant!) they used his cell phone to track him down. (For good or for bad, having a cell phone in your name destroys your privacy. Even a burner phone, once you take it home, can be linked to you. If it is co-located while  turned on with your “normal” phone, it becomes linked to you, especially if you drive with both phones powered up.  So don’t do illegal shit , and the authorities won’t have a reason to use your phone to track you)
