		 One room left to paint, one probably my 12th gallon, can’t wait for some warmer weather to get back outside and get some fresh air and exercise.  I would have loved to see the Bills in the super bowl, but the sh*tty nfl ref’s decided the public wanted more Kansas City; they got got screwed by crappy calls time after time.

 The Pro Bowl has been a joke for at least 30 years.

		 Made the deal to trade my 2011 Tahoe for a 2024 with 23k miles yesterday. Got credit union down to 5.74%. It is incredible that we are talking the same numbers as when I bought my first house....  
 
Continue to rehab on my own from lung volume reduction with my incentive spirometer. I can't even get into the pulmonary rehab for an evaluation visit until 3/4..... Told them I would take the first cancellation. The body heals at its own rate. My thought is I can continue to improve over the course of a year if I keep at it. Most days a little better. Sometimes a step back as I don't get a full breath as easily. Lungs are shifting around and the blood vessels are figuring out their new configuration. I have gone from a V8 to a V6. Rebuilding my engine....  But Dani and I are good. So many have much more difficult situations to deal with.

		 I think a golf match would be better than the Pro Bowl, they wouldn’t have to worry about getting hurt.
