I got into a motorcycle accident later in my career and it messed up my legs. I spent the last 4 years of my career on a no-run, no-walk medical profile. Barely qualified for retirement instead of medical separation. I gained ~60 lbs just from the inaction. I'm 100% disabled now according to the VA.

This picture was taken in Djibouti, Africa in 2005. General Pace was making his rounds to all the deployed bases and stopped by to brief us. He's actually awarding me a military coin in this photo, which you transfer with a handshake.

Yup, I've definitely packed on a few pounds since those days, and not in the good way. 😅

Looks like I can't edit my post, so here's an update: I can't find any definitive sources claiming Tyler is a registered Republican. That's just what people have been claiming online based on his pro-Trump Facebook posts. His family is registered Republican; he is not registered with any party.

It's NEVER a Democrat. Every violent attack on our political figures have all been conservatives. And conservatives always immediately declare war on liberals every time this happens. They always take the emotional response instead of waiting for the facts. Do better.

Everything is getting so expensive lately. Why the fuck everything cost money?

I also just realized why half of my hair update photos make me look pale as heck. My phone's been trying to auto-correct the lighting and bleaching me out. I used a color filter to match my natural skin tone, rather than the creepy pale version that keeps coming out. Stupid AI auto-filter... 😡

The worst part is that I live in the countryside, so I barely get phone service out here. Gonna have to take a laptop into the city to use the Internet properly now.

Disregard the hair on my left sleeve; I was playing with my dog and he shed hair all over me.

Thanks so much! I'm always looking for higher quality cover images. I need to update my site. I'm falling behind again. ^_^;;
