Had to add a note to this; remember, no matter what happens health wise,
we all have to accept and enjoy growing old. The option is to become
miserable and depressed and never think you can enjoy anything.
I always use my Dad as the example: he taught us to visualize something
else if we had a pain anywhere. But as a Type 1 diabetic for 7 years,
starting at 48 he was blind, then on dialysis then lost a leg, and he
never complained. When asked why, his response was the no one wanted to
visit a complainer. But the visualization does work well, I used it for
years with a vertebrae our of place in my lower back, I got it put back
in place when I couldn't fish anymore.
JimmyD and Don and all glad to hear things are going better for us all.

JimmyD,
Really-really glad to hear you’re doing OK. With DVT, the news can go
either way.
Tony, all,
Sounds like my plight, fishing-wise. I’ve been fixing up my Grumman
Sport Canoe with folding seats, a new electric motor and a huge battery
that would double as a toy-hauler travel-trailer power supply. I used it
once two years ago with the new seats and nunce since I got the trolling
motor last spring.
Health issues (mostly cleared up now) and a sudden death with our
camping buddies (the wife- my wife’s best friend) put a serious hurt on
motivation to get out camping this summer. Added to the the total
fire-ban for all camping areas, and it’s just not the same ‘happy happy’
time that it used to be.
I also outfitted my Mokai (jet kayak) with a neutral clutch a year ago,
which will make it a lot easier to navigate slow, park, wait, etc. Haven
even gotten to finish the installation, much less use it.

And my poor pontoon kick-boat doesn’t remember what the water feels
like, it’s been so long. Will be another 6 months before I can try any
of them again because of hard water concerns. If I can lose more weight
over the winter...
Right now I’m focusing on my diet and exercise for T2D, and it’s coming
along pretty well. My body doesn’t notice when I skip my 3X/day
short-blast insulin, so I’m hoping I can get officially off it and rely
on the 24hr stuff. Then I want to get off of it too. Doc’s really
happy, as I got an interim T2D blood test before my visit last week, and
it was normal in almost every category that was way off when my sugars
skyrocketed a month and a half ago. I also dropped 37lbs, which made him
happy too. My eyes have seemed to stabilize now, with needing reading
glasses to tie and best driving vision coming with old 30 year-old
prescription glasses. So now I’m really hoping to be able to see a #14
dry fly float by at 70 feet.
Getting old is no fun, especially having a diet that cuts out most of my
favorite Cajun grub, especially the deep-fried stuff. Oh well, as long
as I wake up on the green side of the grass.

I bought a new Electric Start outboard for my river boat five years ago.
I was having a hard time pulling the start rope on the old one. To this
date, the new outboard has less than five hours running time on it.

You are welcome here anytime. Maybe both of us old broken down fishermen
can take out the boat and bend a rod. I am not allowed to take the boat
out by myself. It is hard to find someone to go out with when I am
feeling well enough to go.

I know what you mean about driving. Dot will not let me drive
either. I have to get her to take me anywhere I might have to go.
You are lucky, the nearest Cabala's is over five hours round trip
and the BPO shop is over 6 hours round trip. But I don't have to go
far to fish if I am up to it. The White river is 52' from my back porch.
