My Health

I’m starting to do better. My meds are starting to kick in. My severe back pain when I eat or drink is way down to tolerable and my itching is d0wn a lot. The type of meds I’m taking are slow to kick in. They kick in slowly, a week or two or a month.

Anyway, now that I’m doing better, I feel more like doing stuff.

Waterfall

I haven’t checked my game cams which are up in the hills for some time now, so I headed up that way on this trail, headed to check out the waterfall first.

I made it up to the waterfall just up ahead and walked on up to it to check for water.

There’s just a  drizzle coming down the fall for now.

This is looking at the forest down from the waterfall.

I walked back down to the bike and got on it and headed back down the trail.

Two Pools

I made it to where the first game card was at Two-Pools.

There was this real big edible mushroom just under the camera. I would of taken it with me, but I didn’t have a good way to carry it. I picked up up the cam card from the cam.

Pond

Next I headed for the little pond to pick up a card off the cam on the tree.

Y

Then down to the Y in the road and got the card out of the cam there, noting the battery’s were dead. I put some new batteries in the cam I had brought with me.

I had to open this gate on the way home to cross the highway to get to my place.

Nice day.

Health report

Well, I’m still kicking. About a month ago the docs gave me some meds to retard the eczema and slow down the severe itching and pain.

However when I went to pick up the med, I asked if there was any corn stuff in it. Yes, there was but they said they  had the med in solution form without any corn.

Wrong, wrong, wrong

They were wrong about that, which I found out after using the drug for a couple weeks when my itching got a lot worse, but at least the drug reduced the severe pain a lot.

I’m to get another drug in a couple days which is an injection that is supposed to knock out the eczema which is supposed to work real good. We’ll see.

Doctoring is  a slow process these days, two weeks to get an appointment and then another two weeks to wait for the labs and test to come in.

Larry visits

My cousin Larry who used to live next door to us here came by for a visit for about a week, so we’ve been doing some stuff and went for a ride today in Hondo.

Older pictures

I found some older pictures in the camera of the last bike ride I did with Barry

We rode over to the neighbor’s to visit with Jim and his dog. I saw the dog up there so I knew Jim was close by.

Jim was in his shop and came out to visit with us a bit.

We shot the bull for awhile before taking off to continue our ride.

Rest spot

We rode around and eventually made it up to our rest spot at the top of the hill.

Barry’s favorite spot.

We stopped at this spring for a drink of water.

Today’s ride with Larry

We rode up through the state park and stopped here at the top of the hill at an overlook.

Larry checks out a sign at the overlook. It’s a bit overcast today.

The view to the west towards the ocean.

From there we headed on over to a neighbor’s that lives close by and turned at the bear.

We parked at the top of a hill we used to call Bald Mountain.

It’s now called Monument Mountain and here’s Larry checking things out.

The view south.

The view west towards the ocean.

Visit

From there we headed down to the neighbor’s for a visit. Larry hit it off with the Lady there and shot the bull with her talking about old times.

We headed for home after that.

Nice day.

My health

It’s not too good right now. I’m suffering with a good case of eczema, skin problems that is making my whole body itch quit a lot and most of the time. I’ve been waiting to receive some meds to maybe help this but they have been delayed, so I suffer. I do finally have an appointment with a specialist at the VA this coming week, about time.

Getting out

I’ve been mostly hanging around the house  as this eczema is very  painful, so today I decided to ride up into the forest to collect my game cam cards.

A big cat sneaks by.

A couple of crows by the little pond that is low on water.

While turkeys go by.

Wild turkeys by the little pond. They hang out there a lot.

A couple bikers trespassing.

Likely the same bobcat by the little pond.

Fox by the pond.

Rabbit on the road.

Lion heading for home as I think it is down that way.

Buck.

Skunk by the little pond.

Wild turkeys by the little pond. They come by here a lit likely to get a drink of water and feed.

Posting

I don’t plan to do much posting until I improve some. I can see my body improving very slightly each day. So, maybe in a couple of weeks I’ll be back to posting.

Nice day out in the forest.

Sunday August 24, 2025 Guerneville  CA.

Just to let everyone know that I’m doing ok. I’m mostly hanging around the house trying to keep this severe back itch that has a burning sensation under control. Just about anything I eat or drink kicks it off.

This all stems from my 25 year old corn allergy that suddenly got worse a couple months ago which now includes most food and drink.

I’m working on lining up a specialist, but most of them aren’t taking new patients and are real busy. I’ll be talking with my doc in a few days to see what she’s lined up for me.

So, not much to write about for now, but will post when I  have something of interest, when I’m able to be more active.

Hanging out with the chickens….

Shop work

I went over to my neighbor’s shop he is working on to help him out re-doing some electrical stuff. All I had to do was sit in a chair and give advice.

I did that for about an hour or so, then left his place stopping in the peach orchard to get a few fresh peaches to eat throughout the day.

Of course I ate one on the way back to my place.

Itches

I’ve been battling some severe itches from some eczema that I recently acquired that petty much makes it real hard to sleep at night and that’s the way it was last night, so I crawled in bed and was surprised it was 5:30 in the evening when I awoke. Great.

Nice day.
