Has anyone heard from Molalla1?

Take it easy and keep plowing ahead steady with purpose. Slow it down a little and enjoy the ride. I remember long ago soon after I got my John Deere garden tractor (my first rider) I would bomb around as fast as I could to mow the lawn. I was so happy and proud I cut so much off of my time.

After a few summers my ex's very rural uncle and family came visiting from South Dakota. He was a rancher and was a bronc rider at rodeo events. A bit of an idol to me. He owned large tractors and other farming implements.

I was pulling out my little rider to mow my 3/4 acre suburban lawn. He walked over (bull legged) and asked if he could ride 'her'. I was a bit embarrassed. He took a good look at the wheels, all of the controls (not many) and proceeded to mow the entire lawn so slow I couldn't believe it. I thought WTH... what is wrong? I was almost painful to watch.

When he finished I asked him why he was going so slow? He said, 'what would be my hurry... I ain't going anywhere'.

I think I am finally understanding where he was coming from.

Yep, but I have always been attack . . . probably not the best idea at my age.

Molalla, I'm doing pretty darn well too. Last chemo next week, then early in October I head for Solebury/Bucks Co PA for good.
Oncologist very happy and good prognosis. Of course once this is done, and the dust settles, then I need an L5 operation myself.

Are you back at home, or somewhere else? Last night on the news they said you had a "go now" order, but I haven't heard any sitreps yet today.
