Dear TeamToddTBI,

Merry Christmas.

I am still completing virtual flights: “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1koOst6_OPscSkaTimIKECIcUrkSlYdno/view?usp=sharing” I enjoy coupling the mental and physical challenge.

I would like to enable non-quirky users to also fly their bikes. This week, I abandoned my effort to use the application menu (i.e. start menu) to modify the small file controlling the parameters I use to enable bike flights. I learned how open a console window (i.e. command prompt) titled with the executable that should be run to choose your tire size or the executable to find your bike’s speed sensor MAC address.

My favorite sister is home for Christmas. She was in the habit of opening and closing my bedroom door slowly so the hinge squeaked. I found the noise annoying. I lubricated the door hinge so the noise is gone now. I think we both miss the annoyance now. Her bedroom door also squeaks. I hope to use the voice recorder app on my phone to share this noise with you. (Before she finds the WD-40)

UNUM requested that I complete a form to enable continuation of my disability payments. UNUM requested the specific start month, day, and year of each of my employers 15 years prior to being disabled. I know one employer, Overton Corporation, went out of business in 1999 – I worked there before Ridge Tool.

St. Luigi, Thank you for your intercession. St. Carlo Acutis, pray for us.

Hello, TEAMTODD! Thank you for once again checking in on us.

YES! Libby is home! We do enjoy our time together. Squeaky bedroom doors… Something, the “kids” have fun annoying each other with. WD-40 takes care of it.

Libby comes home and looks around and sees what has to be done and does it. Outside and Inside. This week we will be going through storage spaces and preparing boxes for Goodwill.

I did NOT know about Todd’s latest mail from UNUM. Reading this, at first I was disturbed BUT TEAMTODD, Todd continues to recover from TBI. Todd manages his own finances, his own healthcare so it makes sense he can answer all the questions UNUM may ask.

Todd keeps himself challenged mentally everyday. His programming abilities are still intact so much so, he continues to learn. We are so grateful.

I do think Todd has continued to progress because of his strong faith. He begins his day with prayer and ends his day in the same way. Programming abilities happen in the interim. 

Todd’s recovery continues because of his own efforts and the prayers and good works of all of you supporting our Toddster. THANK YOU!
