Shoulder surgery

 Shoulder was wore out.

Torn labral muscle

Detached bicep muscle and reattach to humorous bone.

Cyst deletion.

Bone on bone contact in ball joint. They have to grind that down to build up scar tissue.

Biggest change so far. North Carolina




We sold the house in San Diego, and Moved to North Carolina to be near my Daughter (whom is in South Carolina, about 2 hrs. away), and nearer my Sister 5 minutes away. this also puts us within Driving distance of Kim's Sister, and Father in Ohio.

The move was mostly driven by the need to make retirement affordable. Less house payment, less cost of living. We sold the house in SD and cleared enough money to buy a house cash in NC. No more house payments (for now).

It is a very different feel here. The people are a bit more polite, more rain storms, more affordable housing. Culturally different in that people are more about freedoms such as guns, and less regulations on your property, and self.

We lived with my sister for a few months, and then found a house near by that suited our needs. 2,600 sqft, big yard, spacious neighborhood. we are about 7 miles from a big recreational lake (lake Norman).

We are also not too far from some nice mountain parks, trails, waterfalls, and even Some famous Street bike roads through some twisties.


Here is some pictures of the house.

Some pictures of the garage getting painted.

We had to install a water filter because the well water had a lot of sediment.
