Barium me not.
There are a few things in life that I’ve always hated doing that, over the years past, I always seemed to end up doing anyway. The top of my list of things I hate doing are:
Moving
Changing out drum brakes
Rebuilding Harley Davidson Sportsters
Drinking barium
So far I seem to have managed to distance my self from the [...]
Thank you for your patience
Obviously I haven’t posted for the last several days. There’s a simple reason for this.
I haven’t felt all that well.

Attack of the low blood sugar
As most of my regular readers already know (all 3 or 4 of them), I’m not exactly what you might call a big guy. I’m more like that guy that has to run around in the shower to get wet. I’m actually more like the guy who has to run around outside in the sun [...]
Russian Subs Off East Coast a Surprise?
In case anyone missed the big headline today, the US (Navy, most likely) has “discovered” that two Russian Akula class fast attack subs have been patrolling approximately 200 miles off the east coast of the United States.
Oh, really? What a surprise.
Russian officials responded vehemently to accusations that they were dabbling in Cold War-style cat-and-mouse manoeuvring [...]

Contrary to popular belief—I’m normal.
A few years back my then Primary Care Physician (PCP) at the VA, whom I shall refer to as “Young Dr. Young” henceforth, had me take a pulmonary function test. This just happened to be the period of my life that was several months after my parents had passed away (my sister and I [...]
