My case has been decided, and I have a baseline percentage of disability. I’m entitled to VA healthcare. The VA makes no bones that this care is provided contingent upon federal funding. They encourage me to maintain any other health insurance I have in addition to VA coverage. I do … Continue reading →
It’s not a jacket, but it is lightweight, vented, and has long sleeves. It’s a Magellan Lake Fork Fishing Shirt, and I found it at Academy for $19.99. It should serve to protect my arms from foliage as we work to clean up the overgrowth behind the shop. We’ll see. … Continue reading →

You have another chance for either class. Holly has opened both, and there’s no waiting. Sign up and begin your class … Continue reading →
I attended InnoTech San Antonio today. I haven’t been to a technology conference for a couple of years, and I wanted to see how much I was missing. I felt pretty comfortable, but I’d thought I might see more of my former military colleagues (either military or civilian). I ran … Continue reading →
