Bump.

Retirement is great but I'm having horrible issues with the company medical. They are continually miss billing me for it. Thought I got it squared away but nope and with this last statement, here we go again.

If I don't stop getting mail from AARP I am going to explode. I can't stand anything about a group centered on old people. It's been 15 years, give it up!
My big big birthday is in 2 weeks. Not really looking forward to it. I have never minded birthdays, but after getting my Medicare card, it felt awful. Well, I don't actually have to use it or buy the supplemental stuff, since I still have private insurance.
The whole age thing pisses me off. People have preconceived notions of what older people are. Like the song says, I think I'll die, before I get old.

Wow, this was all the way on Page 3 behind a bunch of Spam. I've been away both from this board and from cycling for a long time. Life and injuries have gotten in the way. Last summer I was all ready to take it up again, then I injured my wrist at work and that has been a long recovery.

As the weather improves and I think about taking my slow, comfy hybrid out to doodle around the neighborhood, I remembered the days when I was in here all the time. And wondered how everyone was doing. If anyone is still checking in, I'd love to hear your news. Wishing everyone safety and good health in these very strange times.

We're good. Knot is back at work. Don't know if you knew she was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in October '18. So about 9 months of chemo and recovery from chemo which was no fun lemme tell you. And then 2 surgeries which technically were 3 surgeries. After all that now she's NED. Doctors don't say remission, cured or recovered anymore. They say "No Evidence of Disease". In other words "We can't find it anymore"

She had several weeks where they had her working from home which would have been ideal for us. She's healthy, I'm healthy, we're both off work. She could have done conference calls from anywhere, even the beach "Uhm, yes, boss. That is a fake Zoom background. I'm in my living room, really! " But we are staying safe at home.

Oh, no I had not heard about the cancer. But I am glad to hear you are both doing well now!

Yeah. We're glad too.

She's gotten interested in music. As of now added 2 ukuleles and a guitar to the stable. We're about to have the same storage issue with them as the bikes.

Hey, hoping everyone is ok. Haven't checked in here for a looooog time.
I'm still alive and kicking, waves and hug to anyone who even remembers me... best wishes to you all. Remembering the good ol days on this TE site.

Haven't been riding my bikes in a couple years, but was doing a lot of contra dancing before the pandemic hit, and now I do a mini trampoline session in my living room to try to not totally become a blob.
Today's election day. sigh....
