Well, I guess that I missed most of this thread!  Prayers up for all mentioned in need of them.

I do historical reenacting/living history of the War of 1812, Mexican War, Santa Fe trade, & Surveyor.  I both of the war periods, I can portray a Surgeon or Engineer.  In the 1812 era I do a regular Engineer and talk about field fortifications, military roads and reconnaissance.  In the 1840's era I portray a Topographic Engineer - explorer.  This coming weekend I will be Surgeon's Mate J. Cool [real historical Army Doctor] at Fort Osage National Historic Site, which is about 30 miles east of downtown Kansas City, Missouri.  Been doing military living history there since about 1993.

 Was in Marion, Indiana the first weekend of Oct. for Mississinewa 1812 [3 day event w/20,000 visitors] as the US Engineer.  Jan. 8-9 I will be the Surgeon for the 95th Regt. of Foot [Rifles] of HM King George III at the commemoration of the Battle of New Orleans.  Get to live an a fine Ante-Bellum summer home that was built on the battlefield in the 1830's!   Will have my medical equipment collection which is better for 1812 than many museums at historic sites.

I also do ballroom dancing! [Now you know why my email address is dancingbobd@sbcglobal.net .]  Mostly I make the effort to go swing dancing and to dance Argentine Tango!

JD prayers from me all the way to recovery.KT

Ballroom dancing. That sounds very interesting. I used to do roller dance skating until I dislocated a kneecap showing off on ice skates. There's really something great about getting immersed in the music and going with it in a pattern, sometimes very intricate.

The thing that I have enjoyed most in life is flying. I used to work as a commercial pilot (not airline pilot but still working for a living) in many capacities. I had an airplane I used for fish spotting that I modified highly and got a pile of hours in. Here's a pic of it.

LOL, I've had a few intresting landings off the beaten path, for sure. That plane got a lot of mods in the years I had it. The paint started out as a joke and ended up a reality. It was a heck of a lot of fun to fly and work on.

Kid, that is was a Cessna 152 although it doesn't look like it.
