Yes thanks all. Even thou I been through this before isn't making it any easier. Hopefully it will all be over soon and recovering.

On my way. Looks like a good day of driving.

I believe Dan is speaking of me this time again. So I'll fess up. As some of you may remember about four and a half years ago I went through surgery to remove a tumor that was a little over eight inches. Better referred to as a G.I.S.T. tumor. It was benign, but it was classed as a fast growing aggressive tumor with a high risk of occurrence. I was placed on a chemo pill called Gleevec for three years as a precautionary to reduce chance of it returning. Well Friday it was confirmed the tumor returned and located almost exactly where the first one was at. I've had a CT scan done every six months and it hadn't showed up this Friday. Hopefully this one isn't as large, but I have another CT on Wednesday. My oncologists and surgeon will put their heads together an determine my next step. Last time step three was another scope with an ultrasound to determined size and what else it was touching. If this one isn't as large, they may decide step three will be surgery. The first time took only five weeks till I was in surgery so I really do not expect they will wait this time very long either. Last time was in August 2009 and I had a chance to see several VR members the weekend before my surgery. Not quite the circumstances this time, but with God's help I will be back up and riding by summer. It wasn't the was I had plan to start retirement next month, but He doesn't work on my time schedule. So keep my family in your prayers. I know my God and He will prevail. God is good!

Pretty close Lew

LOL. Must have, cause I lost 10. You can keep it!

Cowpuc, I'm actually been losing weight the past two months without even trying.

I have another trip to Norfolk, VA on Monday, January 20. During the last trip I had dinner at Aberdeen Barn & Steakhouse on Hampton Blvd that has excellent food. I'll be back there again Monday night I'm sure. Anyone in the area, see you there.

Not effected up this far but feel bad for all of them that is. It looks like this is going to be many more days yet to go for them. I've offered our shower and water if anyone want to drive to Gassaway.

Nothing like digging up an old post to bring back the memories.

Our Thoughts and Prayers for Jean & family..

Christmas is over, I'm ready for Summer.

I guess if you crash and not wearing a helmet, you're not going to need your bike replaced.

I got some riding time in today too. Temperature made it up near 50 and it was time to go. Mrs. Skid even went with me...

Best battery I found is the Interstate battery. Everything I own has an Interstate and usually get about five years out of the in the bike.

Looks like tonight's dinner choice is at Aberdeen's Barn Steakhouse

Southbound for Norfolk

Hope it works out for you.

Not completely sure. I'm game for whatever time everyone wants to meat. I mentioned Lynnhavens earlier, but as long as I can have a good steak and seafood I'm good.

Who all is up for getting together Wednesday evening for dinner?

Love the boat

Welcome back Gary

I've had my extra since 1995 and agree now you don't gain a lot of band, but it's nice to go where ever you want without thinking about your boundaries. Recently been playing on the 60 meters, and enjoy working it. N8YOW

Dave, I have an expense account so the State is buying. LOL

Yes and I got pics Dan. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/13/5ada2e4y.jpg

It was confirmed today I am scheduled to get loaded Thursday morning. So I'll be down there Wednesday evening. Anyone ever eat at Lynnhavens?
