It's been a L O N G few months since my last posting.

2013 did not start out very well for me.  During February I was sick with the flu.  I was still recuperating in March, but did not feel very well.  At the end of March, during my THIRD visit to the doctor's, I was told that my gastric reflux had gotten worse and that was why I was still coughing so much.  Since I had not had any severe heartburn episodes, I would have never guessed it was GERD giving me the terrible taste in my mouth.  One good thing came out of it, I lost a few pounds since nothing tasted that good to me for a couple of months.  And, then there was April.  On April Fool's Day I was heading north to visit an elderly Aunt when I was stricken with kidney stones.  I barely got myself back to Columbus where my son lives before the pain was so bad I could hardly breath.  Well, three days in the hospital and $25,000 in medical bills later and I was starting to recover. And, then on my last visit to the urologist, I took a nasty fall and badly injured both knees.  I probably should not have gone back to work as soon as I did, but now I really need the job with all those medical bills, of which I still owe over $3,000; and that is after my insurance paid!
It has taken me all this time to finally get back some of my energy.  So, on to more pleasant things.  Before leaving home I was told about an automobile museum in Harrisburg, PA, which was the first thing I got to see on a day off from work.

For a good part of this museum it was a stroll down memory lane for me--and, no I do not mean the Model-T.  There were so many vehicles from the 1950's and 60's.  The old style gas station scene was pretty cool as was the scene at the outdoor movies.

There was also an entire area of old buses and a gallery of motor cycles.  I'm not a diehard enthusiast about vehicles, but this place was still pretty interesting.
