Did a little road trip last week. Austin-OKC-Lake City and back. Picked up my mom and dad from their place right outside Oklahoma City and then headed west in the Jeep to Lake City. We stayed at Pleasant View Resort on the south side of Lake City. This was my 2nd time to rent a cabin from...

Wheels of progress... ? My meeting with my doctor went well. He thinks the lap band procedure would help me tremendously. He said he will fight with my insurance company to make sure they will cover it with minimal delay. I'm sure Humana will have other ideas. So he started looking for...

Nice... I'd hoped to make it out that way this year - didn't happen. Beautiful pictures and I'll just have to try harder to make it out there next year. Thanks for sharing.

Good results It's very encouraging to see y'alls' good results so far. I'm meeting with my doctor this afternoon to talk about my options. I'll hit the grocery store on my way home and get healthy stuff. I've been way too undisciplined and lazy. I drive by a Chick-Fil-A on my way home and...

Not yet... I don't have a scale so I haven't weighed yet. I think at this point, my weight is kind of moot. It's like getting hit by a .44 or a .45. That .01 isn't going to make a lot of difference (yes I am aware there are other differences in the loads, but my point is purely related to...

sign While it isn't a list, you can always look for this sign. I've been delivering blood to hospitals all over the country and my first time into a new place, these signs are (quite literally) a lifesaver.

Thanks for the info I lived in Tucson just over 3 years ago. I did the same thing. I went to my doctor there and over the course of a year I lost 100 pounds through diet and exercise. I moved to Philadelphia and my lifestyle changed completely. It's a poor excuse, but it's my reality. I...

I could end up cheating Hello I'm Darin and I'm morbidly obese and have been for most of my life. I've been putting off making a doctor's appointment to begin the process for bariatric surgery for quite some time. Quite frankly I'm scared. Also having this type of procedure done would make me...

Mine Mine's the yellow one here hanging out with Goodtimes' Jeep toward the end of the Martinez Mine loop in AZ. I learned from this trip that Austin to Tucson is a long ways to drive a Jeep looking exactly as it does in the pic. I froze on the way there and just about roasted on the way...

So nice... Black Bear is one of the few roads out there I haven't driven. With 100+ degree weather here, SW Colorado is even more tempting than usual. I'm hoping to get out there mid-September for a week or so. I'm thinking of "roughing" it with a cabin rental around Lake City and then just...

Syncro envy I was ignorant as to the existence of these things until relatively recently. Now I want one. What a cool looking beastie that is. I'll also be looking forward to your working on it and reading of your explorations with it.

a few I like It's intimidating and humbling to post pictures to this site and to this thread. There's some amazing talent represented here. Y'all have taken some stunning photos. Here's a few that I have taken that I like. Mostly just point and shoot, but I'm making an effort to point and...

Cool I get the same thing, Chuck. The difference between you and me is that I'm actually quite OK with not seeing Brian's legs. :coffeedrink: Scott and Brian - looks like y'all are having a great time and seeing some amazing scenery. Be safe and keep sharing pictures and videos.

Awesome That was really amazingly cool. Great use of space, technology. Very impressive. Thanks for posting!

Yep. $$ and PM sent. :wavey:

No doubt! Unless I have to travel north of Austin in the winter, I don't expect I will put the top back on my Jeep. It's been down/off completely since late March. I've got the Safari top to keep me from getting cooked, and I figure when winter gets here I'll just put the doors back on and be...

Good topic We called that hobo stew, and ate it often. When my grandpa was still around, his big thing was bringing vienna sausages and saltines. And store brand sodas. Surprisingly, it wasn't as horrible as it seems like it should have been. My dad's big thing has always been cooking up...

.....! :bowdown: Words can not express...

A few of mine I don't have much of a camera, but I have been fortunate to see some really beautiful sunsets. The pictures in this thread are awesome. It really makes me miss Arizona. Growing up in Texas, I thought we had the best sunsets, but living in Tucson I learned otherwise. At any...
