@Dave Morrow when is our next social or gathering of some type??? You said at the Silkie Hike that there was some type of gathering each month...?

I’m usually not very good at writing anything for Remembrance Day. But I will let you all know that I appreciate everyone of you and I hope you get a chance to reflect with some homies today.

Hi Dave. I've been monitoring the group for a while and now decided to participate in the dialog. I've have nothing oustanding per say for injuries be it physical or mental, but have been clinically diagnosed. Over the last six years have been the most unique roler coast ride I've been on. That being said, I've been handleing it, I think, rather decently. For my above issues, I refuse to take medication of any sort or kind. I rarely take Advil/Tylenol. I push thru with exercise. I'm a vetran of 41.5 years in the CAF. I started with the 1st RCRs for eight years and moved to the Airforce till retiement. It was in those early years that instilled the importance of staying fit to focus and push thru the challenges that the military and life in general throws at you no matter how hard. I used to be a daily 10 K runner since my Army/Airbourne days which led to doing 9 marathons fron 2014-2019. Ran in temps from +54 C (in Camp Marage) to -42 C here at home. Started cycling, 100 km rides became easy and Century rides also on the road bike. Gravel racing, just bought a new gravel bike today, in the last five years is a great challenge for me because it really kicks the Shite out of me and humbles me like nothing else. I have a personal gym in my new home that serves me well in having weights and an indoor bike trainer fro the winter. Golfing helps with my Zen Zone focus. Never had a bad game of golf just a bad score 😂. For the mental help side of the house, I play guitar and currently studying music online from Berklee Collage. Thats it in a nut shell for my intro and background. And I found being fit has helped maintain my sanity and health over the decades. I also want to be accountable to myself, which is why I joined this group. It seems to provid great conversation and thoughts for like minded members. I hope to be able to express some thoughts, ideas and or reflections of what I'm going thru. Also to be able to utilize some of the info passed on from others here. Regards
