Dear TeamToddTBI,

I completed virtual flights: “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ityYTyfvmwgfX4DVlCck5IyF8Tl455GV/view?usp=sharing” I hope all of my readers could find a pastime that many conclude in physical exercise that is actually enjoyable. (Unlike completing five short arc quads). I posted another video I recorded on youtube :”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JMsp48YSa4&pp=ygURInBpIDUiIGZsaWdodGdlYXI%3D” I suppose many watchers simply want to watch me try not to sweat. My current form of nerdy entertainment requires a Raspberry Pi 5, large HDMI screen, a bike equipped with a rear wheel speed sensor, etc. I have not met anyone that frequently uses a bike trainer that does not couple their activity with watching a large screen. Let me know if you can.

I saw my urologist on Thursday. One of the tasks that occurs from turning 50, I think. The appointment came with additional tasks to complete. Now, I have to have a MRI and see Dr. Kurnot again in 6 months.

My dad is presently undergoing radiation and an oral chemo therapy for Prostate Cancer. Thus the reason for early screening for me.

I continue to code a blackjack game. My intent has always been to work on my short term memory issues.

Additionally, I am using Roark’s Formulas for Stress & Strain to better understand the mechanics of adding a groove onto a pipe.

HRH prepared a breakfast casserole on Saturday in anticipation of my good behavior in Church on Sunday . Whew!!!! That Palm Sunday Mass was a challenge BUT I made it through the long liturgy.

Also critical to my recovery , my supply of formerly brominated beverages was refreshed; I am well taken care of. I hope Mountain Dew is not subject to tariffs.

Hello, TEAMTODD! Thanks for staying with us. It has been a busy week for Todd and us. Todd likes his routines and anything outside of the “norm” causes him a bit of an upset. So, Todd did more lab work this week and of course, as he mentioned, his visit with Dr. Kurnot. We will be schedule an MRI for Todd this week.

As Todd mentioned, Ted is going thru radiation 5 times a week for 5 weeks plus is on some heavy duty medication. AND!!!! On top of all of that, Ted has come down with a very bad cold! It has not been a good week for the Westley men! But, TED is on the mend from the bad cold. And you know Ted, he continues to work thru his discomforts.

We are looking forward to a visit from LIBBY this week. She will arrive home on THURSDAY and be with us until Sunday. We enjoy and appreciate her company as she takes on tasks that need to be done as she sees them and we enjoy her cooking for us. I hope everyone has a Libby in their life. 

St. Luigi, St. Carlos Acutis, Pray for us
