I'm almost out of here.
« Reply #-1 on: August 01, 2016, 04:36:25 AM »
Well, kind of. I've been working real hard for the past month going to Scotland and England for 4 weekends of golf (Yes, that's 3 trips to Scotland and 1 to England this weekend)....and because I have been working so hard (without frequent flier miles), my boss has rewarded me with an all expense paid trip to Rio for 3 weeks. Yea!! (tongue in cheek). So I'll be leaving sometime on Wednesday and will be returning around the 23rd or 24th. Gonna try to stay in touch with you guys, but my phone wasn't working very well down there a couple of months ago. We are taking several ATT cell towers with us that worked pretty well in Sochi but we couldn't use them much because the Russians were listening and I didn't want to divulge any LTBBQ secrets. Don't think that will be a problem here. We'll see how it goes this time.

I have heard that there is a Zika carrying mosquito problem in Rio so I have been standing in the backyard giving my body up to the dreaded and most painful Texas mosquito. Letting them bite me all over. This will certainly build up my anti-bodies and immune system, right? I'm not sure that it is working, but at least I'm getting to scratch places on my body that I didn't think that I could reach anymore. There might be a few other little problems that they are worrying about so I am telling myself to be vigilant at all times. Gonna try to give a full report when I return. Hope that it is an uneventful  report.

Before I leave on Wednesday, I'll try to give a little insight as to what we are doing in Rio and how we will be sustaining ourselves.
 
Keep the smoke rolling while I'm gone. See ya'll in about 3 weeks.

I didn't realize you were covering those golf tournaments. 
Which venues will you be covering in Rio?  I want to be sure to watch those.
I'm looking forward to hearing about when you get home.
Be blessed, brother.
