On the evening of May 16, we were driving in northwest Houston when the tornado/derecho hit. Although we did not get the brunt of the storm, we were very close. It still amazes me just how DARK things got... @ryanhallyall @ReedTimmerUSA @StormChaserHTX

Well, that took longer than expected... After a couple of complications following surgery, I am finally home from the hospital. It took 13 days. I am very happy to be home and feeling well. I have more recovery to do at home now, approximately 3 months.

Day 3 in the hospital and I'm doing much better. No pain. I'm walking more and I have my energy back. I just remain tethered to a bunch of medical equipment still. My recovery is going real well.

The surgery went well. I am in the recovery phase now. Sore and in some pain, but I am healing well. I don't know how many days I'll be in the hospital, but I will update everyone as I can.

PERSONAL UPDATE: Soon, I will be checking myself into a hospital to have something benign removed before it becomes malignant. It may take a few days in the hospital for me to recover. I'll do my best to post updates as I can and I hope to see everyone again soon.

I was curious how Grok would summarize my profile. A.I. quoted me making fun of A.I.

@MaxVelocityWX Being in northwest Houston, within the past year, we have now had... -Derecho -Hurricane Beryl -Tornadoes -Snow

RT @IndyCar: There’s only one Super Tex 🫡   Happy 90th birthday, A.J. Foyt.

I have accepted the fact that I will never be able to spell the word "convenient." It is the most inconvenient word to spell.

@CenterPoint continues to Disappoint... Our power has been out for 6 hours. This will make it twice this year that we'll have to throw away everything in our fridge. #Centerpointless, don't ask to get in contact with me. Just give us the power you want to raise our rates for.

@rawsalerts Two medical helicopters, "LIFE5" and "LIFE7" flew from Huntsville to Houston a little over an hour ago. Both of these helicopters flew directly over my house in northwest Houston and caught my attention. I believe it's related to the Shiro Incident. Two victims flown to Houston?

Loosely based on a true story in an alternate universe.

#ER #IRBBB I have been diagnosed with "Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block." It's not a serious, life-threatening condition, but it does explain the irregular heartbeats that I've randomly had. As I understand it, as long as there are no OTHER heart conditions, I should be fine.

@NASCARonNBC This is Michael Jordan's ( @mikejordann_ ) team. You know, as in "Air Jordans?" The Jumpman logo is literally on the hood of the car. Is @TylerReddick trying to create his own brand of "Air Reddicks?" Someone should create a 45 "Jumpcar" logo! Maybe make it the new pitroad sign.

I took a Texas road trip between Houston and Austin. I stopped in a town called Giddings. I hadn't been there in 30 years (1994). I saw that the house was gone on Google Streetview, but I had to see it for myself. #Mood Also, Buc-ee's, of course... Truck - Truck - My Car - Truck

I really don't fit into ANY demographic that advertisers are looking for. I "X-out" just about every ad that's ever shown to me and, with surveys, I get turned away because I never seem to fit their "target audience." Yay... I guess? I'm still subjected to irrelevant ads, tough.

@BlkMissFrizzle

Well, I won't forget where Hurricane #Milton made landfall. My favorite rum is Siesta Key! The "Toasted Coconut" is my favorite. I hope that all of my friends and everyone else in the storm's path remains safe. @SiestaKeyRum

@lencannonKHOU @KHOU I imagine this is the mood right now... Glad everyone is okay. I can see the fire alarm strobes going off in the background.

I had the surgery. I am told that it was a success. All of the infection has been taken care of. Three teeth have been removed and bone graft with membrane has gone in its place. I will be recovering for the next 5 days to 3 weeks. I am still in disbelief how... I almost died!?
