At least it is what <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Translate<\/a> thinks. I was trying to channel my Scottish\/Irish\/Celtic roots when titling this post to take notice of another lifetime event, i.e. an additional year old. It doesn&#8217;t seem like it&#8217;s been a year since the <a href=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/2021\/07\/22\/cleared-to-proceed-via-orbit-seven-niner\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">last one<\/a>, but again, a lot of things have transpired since then, so I guess it does seem like it&#8217;s been quite a while. I don&#8217;t hit the <strong title=\"octogenarian\">Big O<\/strong> until next summer. After that, I still expect to feel &#8220;young&#8221; (as I do now) since most vital functions are still working as they should.<\/p>\n<p>I have some routine health checkups scheduled soon &#8211; the Urologist next week and the Nephrologist shortly thereafter. I visit those two regularly because of previous bladder and kidney problems, now (mostly*) resolved. I should schedule a chest x-ray as well, since the Radiologist found some lung smudges described as &#8220;ground glass&#8221; in a previous exam.<\/p>\n<p>The (clickable) image on the right is of a lemon chiffon birthday cake that the Damsel made for me before we went on the low-carb, low-sodium diet in late 2018. She still bakes confections like this, but uses more Keto-friendly ingredients for the dough and icing. I copied this image from our <a href=\"http:\/\/food.vernabob.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Food Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, as the next year unfolds, we hope to resume some of the travelling in the RV with a couple of planned destinations and others that will be more ad-lib as we go along. The RV is getting some <a href=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/2022\/07\/19\/motorhome-maintenance\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">updates<\/a> and as soon as we do a couple of other items fixed, we&#8217;ll be ready to roll.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.75em\">* I have an atrophied kidney causing stage two renal disease which is not that bad (stage five = dialysis).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Clach Mhile&#8221; is Scots Gaelic for &#8220;Milestone,&#8221; I think.
