Scenes from the

... backyard.

Back from the hospital (day surgery). The procedure was successly, the kidney stone is gone, and the stent was removed. Still a bit groggy from the anesthesia, I won't be going any further than the backyard for a day or two so the overflow pipe from the water barrel is as good as I could muster.

Thanks for the well wishes and support. For all the miles, oceans, and continents that seperate us I couldn't ask for a better group of friends. Consider yourself hugged ... and the adventure continues.
