    Got back from PCB about a month ago and was feeling a little under the weather so I got a doctor' visit set up to check out what was going on.
    The Doc did some tests and came back back with a real gut buster for me.
    Seems like I've got lung cancer in my right lung and it's stage 4 - which means no cure.
    I've always joked about bout being a walkin' dead man - but never thought that it would become a reality, sure changes ones outlook on life real quick.
    Between the hospital time and the time running around tieing up some loose ends , I have kinda got away from gettin on here and talkin to you all. Hopefully, now that my doc has got me set up for treatments - I can get back on here more often.
    Don't get a chance to ride as often as I would like anymore - but do enjoy gettin out for some short rides if the weather is super nice - been lucky this month so far hardly any rain or bad weather - I sure ain't lookin foreward to later this year - being cooped up in the house all winter is going to take a lot out of me - but with a little help from the man upstairs I'll get by.:)

    That's tough news, Sarge. It's hard to know what to say in a situation like this but I just wanted to say something.

    can't take the lung - it's already stage four (terminal) but they are doing chemo to slow it down and maybe put it into regression. At the max will probably be 5 years - min a couple of months. All depends on how the chemo treatment does. Made up my mind to fight it all the way - got to give it a try anyhow. - will keep ya all in formed as to what going on.
    And thanks for the prayers they will help.

    Tough news to have to take, Sarge. Now just do what we all should be doing - live the best you can, as long as you can.
