Dear TeamToddTBI,

I completed even more virtual fights: “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GZGSyNheGPQ-hrmVWTHmozeNb3N35x3y/view?usp=sharing” I concede that I am addicted – the thrill I gain from a good landing equals the thrill I gained from cycling up mountains in Switzerland.

I know I have only repackaged what I have previously done. I think using the Raspberry Pi 5 is the best packaging so far. Sure, it costs more than two Arduinos or a BLE dongle, but one’s personal computer no longer needs to be co-located with your bike during workouts. Why would anyone want their PC [that they use for serious things like tax preparation] co-located in a sweaty environment?

I wrote a letter to the Rockville Science Center and asked if they would like to see me fly my bike. I have not gotten a response yet. (Is it too good to be true?)

My favorite sister was home for a few days over the 4^th of July weekend.

I purchased some rockfish at Wegmans this week. I used the George Foreman grill to cook it.

Next week starts the interesting over lap between Grand Sumo and the Tour de France. Thankfully, I have this toy to placate my split distractions: “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ysx2dgHd4_B_x7GH1oKzH--aMiTCegEe/view?usp=drive_link”

St. Luigi, thank you for your intercession.

Hello, TEAMTODD. If you are like me, reading Todd’s update… I tell myself, there is nothing wrong with Todd. Todd is still that brilliant mechanical engineer. Cognitive fatigue sets in and…

Clearly, Todd writes his updates early in the day.

It was GREAT to have Libby with us for a few days. We ALL enjoy being together. And, we eat well. Seems like every day Libby is with us is a celebration. 

Tomorrow, Todd and I drive to Fredrick for a visit with our man Curtis, the Ability Prosthesis guy. The local office in Rockville closed BUT Curt will see Todd in the Fredrick office. He knows Todd’s history, worked well with the shoe cobbler 2 years ago. We expect the same expertise this time.

Todd should be getting new shoes every year. We will do better next year…

Thank you ALL for your continued interest.

Every TBI Survivor should receive such support and interest as you have shown Todd and his family.

We are VERY grateful!
