Recuperating...somewhat

Well, the leg is healing, but it sure hurts when I walk, or stand, or sit...
Actually, it's doing pretty good considering. The Health Dept. called me last week and said Stump's shot record was out of date and that he was being held without bond for 10 days. They asked me not to leave town till he makes it through his quarantine. So, here we sit until the 25th, then it is on to Dunlap, TN for 5 days of work, and then somewhere in Indiana for the rest of the summer.

It will be good getting out of Chattanooga. It is always good to come here, but it is also good to leave. It makes you feel like things are progressing when you can attach the car, start up the motorhome, put Willy on (On the Road Again) and head on out.

I've been told that I need to explain the blog title to my readers. It is actually quite simple. I'm planning on walking across the USA, and my grandkids call me Popeye. The 'with' part is you all following along as I tell you about the months leading up to the walk, and the actual walk itself. Hence, Walkin' With Popeye. I think it'll be fun.

Okay... I'm going to start calling you Popeye, too! Is it PO(long O) and PEYE(pie)??? I love it and will have lots of fun with this name and you!

Considering that name.... he gave you a good one.

Hi Rick & Val....love the blog! What an adventure you are going to have. We will keep an eye on this. Glad to hear you will be in Indiana soon. We look forward to seeing you again. Take care of that leg!

Yes, the worst thing about being "uncle piss" was when my friends thought it would be fun telling everyone I didn't know about it at a New Year's party in 2004! Nicolas will soon be old enough to feel my wrath!
