The Results Are In

I just wanted to post a note about my results from my heart cath yesterday.   The results are in the good news bad news category.  The good news is that I am not in any immediate danger of a heart attack.  The bad news is that one of my grafts has closed and they can’t do anything about it.  My heart is operating at about 20% of normal capacity which I think means I will have to work 5 times as hard to get as much done but I ain’t real sure.

I was hopin’ they could do something to help me feel a little stronger and better but since they can’t I reckon I’ll just have to adjust to it.

The test is over, the results are in,  I’m cleanin’ up after the pity party and gettin’ ready to squeeze all I can out of the rest of my life (which the Dr. said could be  a long time).  I got a great idea for a humorous article which I will entitle  “Editing The Bucket List.”  I hope to work on it and have it ready to post soon.

Thanks for all the prayers, thoughts and good wishes.  I’ve got the best friends, family, and internet buddies in the whole world.

I’m Bo Lumpkin and I’m still thinkin’….and tickin’.

 

Just Thinkin -2012-2

I visited my cardiologist last week and he decided since it has been 17 years since my by-pass surgery that he should go in there and poke around and take a look.  I am having a heart catheterization to see if the grafts are still open and if not hopefully they can put some stints in.  This should be a minor thing but I might not be around on the internet much this weekend.  I have stuff posted though and I will try to at least respond to all the comments on here.   Thanks.

P.S.

Some people are concerned with gettin’ old.  Not me.  That is what I am workin’ at the hardest.

Just Thinkin’ 12-1

There are a lot of confusin’ things goin’ on in politics and what with me bein’ busy with a lot of other stuff and Hank and Buster needin’ the work I have decided to let them do some political commentatin’ and explainin’ for a few strips.  Don’t forget to come back by Thursday and see what they are sayin’.

I am still postin’ some pictures of my jewelry and crafts at www.bolumpkin.com if you like that sort of thing.

 

No Self Esteem

Whenever you think you have it bad just remember Phil and Chester.  They are pretty much on the bottom rung of the ladder.

You can view my jewelry and other creations at www.bolumpkin.com . Check it out.

Creatures of Habit “Misunderstanding”

I guess it is time to start back with the comics.  I will be posting comics on Monday and Thursday for awhile.  I built up my buffer enough to last a month or so this weekend at that rate.  I will be posting randomly from the Gatorhead collection of characters so it might be anything from Hank the Handy Man to I’ve been thinkin’.

I also promised to publish some pictures of the Jewelry and Crafts I have been makin’.  You can view these at www.bolumpkin.com .

Thank you all for your patience and your faithfulness.  You are great friends.

A Funny Thing Happened

A funny thing happened to me while on Hiatus.  I took some time to work on my crafts and jewlery with full intentions of getting caught up and getting back to my comics.  The funny thing that happened is that people started buying the stuff.  Other people started wanting me to place the stuff in their stores and they started selling it too.

While I am not getting rich by any means it feels good that people actually want to buy the things I create.  ( At Christmas I took a bunch of jewelry to our family Christmas gathering and told all the females to pick out what they wanted.  That really depleted my inventory but it made me feel great that they wanted it.)

I have been able to check peoples comics and blogs on my phone but I just haven’t been able to comment.  I hope you all know that I haven’t forgotten you.

I do intend to get back to comics but I bought a 5 pound box of catfish this week and it was nearly $40 bucks.  I either have to sell my jewelry and crafts,  spend more time fishin’ or kick my catfish habit.  In any of these cases it will have an effect on my comic creations.

Thanks for understanding.  Just like Arnold always says, “I’ll be bak”.

 

 

 

Merry Christmas

Hey…They can’t all be jewels!

The Bo Bench

I have been makin’ benches out of some of the cedar on my place and my grandson wanted me to make him one for Christmas to go in his clubhouse.  I told him I would make it if he would help me.  We had a great mornin’ makin’ this bench together.  I hope the memory will mean more to him than the bench.  Here are some pictures.  Oh yeah, my wife told me I should dress up a little for the picture so I wore my new hat.
