Well, to sum it up. first of all I happen to agree with 85% of the suggestions.
Let me vent a bit. I had spinal surgery in 1990.Declaired totally disabled buy SSA doctor. However I found that working out helped my condition. I left NY because the cold winters hurt my back and was taking pane meds three times a day. In 2006 I moved to Coleman Texas. My back responded to the change in a favorable way. I got a part time job working on a cattle ranch in Coleman Texas. In my spare time I repaired small engines and sharpened chain saws. On the ranch I was constantly moving 5.5 foot round bales around with the john Deere tractor.
While I was in Coleman 2006-2015 I was a volunteer fireman .I kept all the old trucks and pumps in working order. And this was not an easy task. I pumped the fire trucks and drove to many grass fires. I loved my friends in Coleman however,,, the summers heat was simply to hot.
So I arrived in Missouri in 2016. I love it here. But what got me interested in excavators was simply watching videos. I new that this is something that I would excel at. I like working with machinery and I get along with most people.
In 2016 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The VA told me to wait and see what was going to happen. BTY, I was in the USAF for 12 years working or "crewing B52G"
Anyway after being diagnosed with cancer I did not want to do anything. My PSA was 1.3 and was slowly increasing to as of August 2022 to 5.7. The VA told me to wait. I told them that I was tired of waiting. Anyway I had my prostate removed on November 7th of last year. PSA now is 0.01
So now being older and now free from cancer I decided to pursue something that I liked and this is operating machinery. It appears as if I will not have the opportunity to fulfill this desire.
However I still have an Ace up my sleeve.
In this picture I am the one in the middle. I am the driver of this rig.
Thanks for letting me vent.
