Dear Friend and Family
Just back from the P2P exercise session, as usual it was great, hard, sweaty, out of breath, pain, exhaustion and it is so good to know I can do things I've not done for years. As to weight, we will see in the morning at the official weigh in weather this week has been a success or not. I know I'm down but not sure how much down.
Today was long and hard work wise. First Concord, then nearby Martinez and then a long drive to Rio Linda near Sacramento and then of course the drive home, wow, lots of miles but a successful day.
Kallie has a baseball game tomorrow at 10 and then I think I take her to lunch afterwards.
The week has been good, I'm thankful for safe trips, for income, for success and for life and feeling great now.
Sending love to all
Tim

Church camp out accomplished what it sets out to do
Back home working and on the way to bed.
Kallie has been looking forward to the church campout for a long time, finally Friday arrived and thanks to her daddy we got the paddle boat loaded on a borrowed trailed and drove to Lake McSwain.
We really had a very relaxing and good time, on Sabbath afternoon kids and adults had a fun playing in the paddle boat and even though it was cool we still really enjoyed watching little ones on the water for the first time and others enjoying it once again.
The guys at the campout were great helping put the boat in the water and then bring it out this morning and our return trip was uneventful as we found phone service again and reclaimed out place in the world.
This afternoon I fitted in two appraisals and then had a flat tire on the bug as I drove home, not fun but after a quick tire change I'm home and safe, so thankful for that, not sure what happened but I heard a loud noise and then I could hear the noise when a tire is losing air so I got off the freeway and found a level place to change. Not easy as the tire is very heavy to lift out of the well in the back of the bug but its done.
Life throws curves in our path, we deal with them
So grateful that the Tracy church keeps on having the campout, I missed having George and Yvonne there full time this year but their motorhome came with its new owners and they drove up on Sabbath to spend the day. Talk about loyal campers and church members, there will never be anyone like George and Yvonne and their love for the people, the church, the school and Tracy. We are so blessed.
I enjoyed music from our special friend Chuck, He and Linda come every year if they can and his music has created many magic moments around the campfire at campouts just like this one. Blessed again.
So I go to bed happy, contented and thankful to belong to such a special group of people.
Love to all

Time rushes by
Just back from the workout session that will either kill you or make you strong, I'm doing things I've not done for years and in some cases not in my whole life. I'm in a room with every shape and size of people, men and women, all doing their very best to get the most of the hour.
This morning I broke into the 180s and by the end of the 6 weeks I need to be at 171. Its all very exciting and unbelievable, hard, sweaty, sore almost all the time in different places yet totally positive. You just can't believe this whole experience unless you are in the middle of it. I am so thankful.
Moon is very much a supporter of what I'm doing, she gets a guy who is getting fit, dumping extra weight and sleeping better, eating much more carefully and much stronger in everyday things. My heart med is gone now, diabetes meds are cut in half.
Moon now has the next date with the judge in Houston, its a ways away yet, immigration moves slowly, so busy with so many people. Our plan is for her to fly home to Singapore mid fall to be home for all the birthdays in her family and for Christmas. She has been away for 7 years and feels she owes her family some time back with them. I am in total agreement though I would love to just snatch her away to be with me, I think we are doing the right thing for her family and she will feel she has been there for them for awhile.
Looking forward to the church campout this weekend. Taking a paddle boat for everyone to enjoy, taking Kallie as she loves to be there, I'll take my P2P food so I can stay with the plan. Going to exercise at 7 on Friday morning so I won't miss a session.
Sending love to all,
Tim
