Where's Brad?

Here's an update on my whereabouts and my activities for those that have been wondering what has happened to me.  I am back in Lakeland, Florida with family, and I expect I'll actually stay here awhile this time (not just for a few months like last year).  I am in my vintage (actually just old) Streamline travel trailer on a piece of property where I have electricity, water and sewer cheap.  I have started back at the gym, which I go to at least 5 days a week trying to lose the weight I gained over the past year (I was at 210 pounds, the heaviest I've ever been, but I am starting to work those pounds off).  I'm also working on my back and stomach muscles to try to offset my back problems.
I've been working with my mom ocassionally cleaning offices, but I really have to watch what I do, otherwise I throw my back out, which I have done a couple of times so far.
My only plan at this point is to stay here and save up some money for at least a year, but after that, I don't know yet what I'll do.  As always, I'm just playing it by ear.
I definitely miss traveling around with my RV group, going kayaking, hiking, 4-wheeling, etc., but I decided that this was something that I needed to do at this time, and so far things are working out pretty well.
Have fun,
Brad
