Required reading: Tags and Categories-Tagged Again! Part I
Many thanks to Grandad. This absolutely horrendous, disjointed post is all his fault but he’ll probably blame it on K8.
And here we go….
I seem to be getting older these days. Not only am I getting older but it seems to be becoming a habit, a perpetual thing if [...] Read more »

VA Bound tomorrow and look at those gas prices!

Posted by Kirk M on 12 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: Just Thinkin

Gas has hit $3.07 around these parts and topping off the tank today by just 4.5 gallons cost me $14.00 even. Considering how fast the prices are rising it will probably be 10 cents higher by the time I leave home for the 2 hour drive down to White River Junction tomorrow. And it’s sure [...] Read more »

So What’s Going on Anyway?

Posted by Kirk M on 30 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: Life as a veteran

So maybe some of you who glanced at the previous post are wondering what might have happened to prompt me to write such a thing? Well, maybe you didn’t but if you had really cared you should have…so there.

The VA comes awful early in the morning.

Posted by Kirk M on 18 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: Life as a veteran

It’s an early morning rise for me tomorrow, like a 5:30 AM wake up call. This is for someone who has had a hard time making it out of bed at 8:00 AM lately and it’s not because I’m some sort of slug-a-bed either. Which is why I’m headed down to the VA–for more testing.
Yet [...] Read more »

It’s been one hell of a week. So that’s not the best way to open a post but since this is my personal type blog and that’s the way I’m feeling, I don’t see a problem with it. So I repeat, it’s been a hell of a week.
I’ve been down to the VA twice and [...] Read more »

Just Thinkin’ renewed another 2 years. So what have I accomplished?

Posted by Kirk M on 19 Aug 2007 | Tagged as: Just Thinkin

The mail came in the other day and with it came the renewal notice for my blog’s domain name. Hard to believe it’s that time already and I’ve been banging away at this iteration of my blog for nearly a year now. Seems like I’m still starting out in a lot of ways.
So what have [...] Read more »

Glasses on my face, hearing aids in my ears…

Posted by Kirk M on 09 Aug 2007 | Tagged as: Life as a veteran

…and now a lift in my shoe”, I mumbled grumpily from the easy chair that resides in our bedroom as I was wrestling the reluctant little piece of gel like material into my work boot.
Then I heard this small voice coming from my wonderful lady who was still snuggled warmly in bed saying, “and don’t [...] Read more »

What The Heck Was That?

Posted by Kirk M on 16 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Life as a veteran

I tell ya’, this new programming that my audiologist stuffed into my hearing aids makes the whole world about THIS BIG. It felt like I was wearing these babies in the above image.
‘Scuse me? Huh? What was that noise? Pheeyeew! I was exhausted by the time I got home. All this new hearing capability is [...] Read more »
