Missing Colorado Springs already and may be returning possibly in October for the winter, but who knows. Hoping to get some speaking engagements set up maybe even a book signing. Contact me if interested.

Wanting to come back for winter. I would love to see the snow coming down the mountains and get some skiing in and hoping to get some speaking engagements set up and other appearances. Information in my link below to contact me for speaking engagements and to purchase my book home in one piece.

Went to Meow Wolf in Denver to experience all the art exhibits. It was a cool place and psychedelic mushrooms are legal in colorado, but not something I am into. I think it might be real cool tripping. Haha

It had some really cool exhibits in it with amazing sounds and colors and it was an interesting experience

Seven falls in Colorado Springs was an amazing trip. Having two knee surgeries,being terrified of heights and not having functioning hands to hang on to anything, it was quite the experience going up 224 stairs and 700 feet up. Coming down was more difficult.

I’ve had two knee surgeries and I couldn’t hang onto the handrails. When I started coming down, I looked down the staircase, and I just started spinning and had to sit down and readjust and then I can only look one step ahead of me because I am terrified of heights and then not be able to hang on. It was very interesting.

This was really a great time. I was pleasantly surprised. If you get a chance go check them out this weekend in Colorado Springs or their next stop.

This was far better than what I had expected. When I first got there I wasn’t expecting much, but it was really a great show. Great job to all the performers. You can find discounted tickets online and Groupon.

Cheyenne Mountain zoo which was an amazing place with way more animals than I had expected.

I couldn’t resist the slide and it was much quicker than I was expecting. They had way more animals than I had ever thought they would with great exhibits and a chairlift across. It was really nice with amazing views of the mountain and Valley below.

Went to Cripple Creek Colorado to tour the old gold mines and ride an old steam train

Was cool seeing all the old abandoned gold mines and got to see an actual working gold pit mine. It’s the 10th largest in the country.

Dakota Farmer feature on me is live.

Dakota Farmer ran a feature on me yesterday — 34 years after the accident. Talks about the recovery, but mostly focuses on life since — the guy (Miles) who gave me the confidence to start doing things myself again, my love of music and karaoke, and why I push EMS/volunteer firefighter support so hard.

Can’t link it here (Reddit blocks that domain), but search “Dakota Farmer John Wayne Thompson” and you’ll find it — written by Sarah McNaughton-Peterson.

Walked up on a Mule deer and his friend today on the trail on Sandy Creek.

Scared the crap out of me. You were standing on the sidewalk when I came around the corner. We just saw the looking each other for a bit and I reached my phone and he walked off and then I got a video of him and his friend later as I was walking, they were ahead of me, checking me out

Taking a break from remodeling and heading back to Colorado Springs for a nice little relaxation

Been remodeling for quite a while at my house and my hand is sore from painting and stuff. Heading to Colorado Springs for a while to relax and have some fun then come back and get everything finished up.

Well, I’m partially there slowly but surely. Vacation time!

Been working on this and it’s very hard on my hands and I’ve been sore for a few days now and I’m going on vacation. Back to Colorado for some fun and relaxing.

When I reseeded my lawn last summer, I bought some really cheap grass seed that contained buffalo and stink grass. I’ve been pulling and spraying trying to get out of my lawn ever since, getting most of it out now.

Never buy a cheap grass seed again. Now I will go to our local family owned Lowe’s nursery. Not the national chain.

Building a built-in cabinet

I had a guy come in and box in my sewer pipe but he used a 2 x 4s and just took up too much space for a cabinet so I ripped that all out and rebuilt it. Now, instead of 19 inches its 23 inches wide. I also decided to make the back black. Trying to get all this remodeling done. Have my arms ripped off and reattached, and being very limited on use of my arms and disability hasn’t stopped me as much as people would think.

ND state fair MHA bareback horse relay food and ride

Great time at the North, Dakota State fair. Was a bit hot with triple digits coming again. Enjoyed the MHA horse relay for the first time this year. Got my cheese, curds and cotton candy. Got to enjoy the extreme ride last year but didn’t get to go this year yet cause I can never find anybody to go on rides with me. The rides and food are my favorite.

Still doing my remodeling and moving my electrical stove receptacle from upstairs to the basement since I replumbed my gas line to put in a new gas stove upstairs.

When its in the triple digits, it’s a great time to clean your gutters

They’re nice and dry and blow out really easily

Air national guard, c130J spraying Minot for mosquitoes

Finally can go back out in my yard. The mosquitoes have been horrible since the Fourth of July here in North Dakota since it got hot now. They spray every year right before the state fair.

Beating the heat in North Dakota 🌡️💦

We’ve been sitting near 100° for days now and everything’s drying out fast — the lawn, the flowers, all of it. Too windy today for a proper soak, so I’m giving things a light watering to hold them over until tonight when the wind dies down and I can really soak it in.

Those dead patches you might’ve noticed in the grass? That’s leftover buffalo grass from a batch of cheap seed I used a while back. Can’t stand the stuff, so I’ve been spot-spraying it with Roundup to kill it off and let the good grass fill back in.

Keeping the yard alive one hot day at a time. 🌾
