Dear TeamToddTBI,
I am still completing virtual flights : “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S7MZ39HvYGpnY-wQfTm53JNsD-xtAvP7/view?usp=sharing” I still want to share my habit with someone.
My favorite sister completed her venture to Palm Springs. Palm Springs recorded the highest temperature in the continental US on Friday, October 24.
I am slowly working on a means to fly a bike with bluetoothctl to replace the deprecated gatttool I presently use. I can tell my c programming skills have declined. I also hope to incorporate subtle improvements in my updated scheme – like allowing multiple sensors (on multiple bikes) to be used, suggestions for the speed parameters I use for transforming bike tire rotational speed into a throttle position, checking the battery status of the sensor, enabling operations with menus instead of the command line, allowing different diameter wheels (road bikes have 700 cc; mountain bikes 26 inch) etc.
The Hokie football team defeated California in double overtime Friday night. I only watched the first half.
Yesterday, the 25th of October, I got my flu shot and COVID vaccine. That same day, I also got m hairS cut. The band aid from the two vaccination remains on my arm; I am hoping the bandaid will painlessly fall off and not pull the hairS on my arm.
Tomorrow is in anniversary of the day van hit me. I do not remember the day.
I was good in church this morning – my behavior yielded pancakes.
St. Luigi, thank you for your intercession. St. Carlo Acutis, pray for me.
Hello TEAMTODD! Thank you for staying with us. I wonder sometimes, if you REALLY understand how meaningful it is to us that you read the weekly update. TEAMTODD, Todd and we, are “held up”, supported, by your interest in our situation. You read because you care. It is not that we are gifted writers.
Wednesday of this week was Team 1 for Altar Guild. Todd and I usually go to the 12:10 Mass and we do our “chores” after. Todd enjoys the “quiet work” of empting Holy Water Fonts and cleaning them and replenishing with fresh blessed water. Todd also goes through all the pews, picking up “objects” and reassigning misplaced hymnals. Todd seems to enjoy these activities in a “quiet” atmosphere.
As Todd mentioned, Tomorrow is the 11th anniversary of his accident that changed his life forever; changed many lives forever….
GOODNESS! This afternoon there was a knock on the door. It was MIKE WHALEN!!!!! Do you remember, Mike Whalen, Planetary Systems, opened his arms and his company about a year after Todd’s accident. Todd worked (volunteered) at PSC for about 5-6 years until they were bought out by Rocket Lab ( a huge New Zealand company)
WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE!!!! Mike Whalen came bearing gifts of fresh tuna just caught yesterday! GOODNESS!!! Fortunately, we were ALL home. Todd shared his plane/bicycle with Mike. We did not know Mike was an avid cyclist. What a GREAT visit we had! Tomorrow is the 11th year anniversary of Todd’s accident. What a coincidence, that Mike should visit today… Mike Whalen played a huge part in Todd’s recovery. Todd’s healthcare professionals say, PSC kept Todd’s brain challenged during the crucial early months of his recovery.
Yes, a coincidence.. to see Mike Whalen TODAY. But, TeamTodd.. the definition of a coincidence is
”When God does a miracle and remains anonymous”.
Thank you all for staying with us. YOU ARE ALL part of God’s plan for Todd.
XO, Brigid
