I'm Home  :yahoo;

I'll update and post a picture I have of me on dialysis later today or tomorrow.

Dialyzed in my chair last night - ahh I like it so much better than a bed.

I walked away from my life two months ago, now I have to try and remember what it was I was doing.

I had to post this picture of Cairny looking at oncoming traffic in Yellowstone - I should have cleaned my rear view mirror first.

Glad you made it Bill the trip reminds me of when I rode to Sturgis and west Yellowstone Montana on my bike four years in a row. Couldn't do it if I was on dialysis though.  :thumbup;
