I wrote and recorded a Christmas song for a songwriting contest called Christmas is Special. A demo was created of me singing and playing guitar. I took that demo and used Suno (AI) to create a country song. I created a virtual country band called Sturgeon Country and released the song through this band. I have now created a music video for the song using various AI platforms. I’ve posted it on this Sturgeon Country YouTube site and below. Have a listen.
If you care to listen to me elaborate on how this was done check out this video on my Retirement Ain’t Easy channel.
In this video I provide a 15 Week Post Hip Replacement Surgery, update on my recent cardiologist visit and I review a couple of purchases to kickstart my walking routine.
I accomplished anorher goal. It was to take my Aniioke e-bike to the big park by my neigborhood. It’s about 1 1/2 miles away and I have to get out on a main road out of my neighborhood.
After hip surgery on August 4, 2025, I set 3 goals for myself. One of those goals was to ride my e-bike, an Aniioke AQ177 Pro Max that I bought in October 2024. I was not able to ride it when I first bought it due to my painful right hip. Fast forward one year and now, after right hip replacement surgery, in the video I’m going to try riding it. I’ll also share my initial receiving and building of the bike and finally my impressions.
This is it, Week 12 Post Hip Surgery. Physical Therapy complete. No more requirements to perform exercises. I’m completely done. But am I? How does it feel 12 weeks later? Am I 100%, 90%? I address things in this video.
Hey! It’s been 10 weeks since I had Hip Replacement Surgery. This video is an update on how I am recovering from surgery and also catching up on other retirement life events. Enjoy.
Every October I celebrate my birth month (I turned 64 this year). It’s called CHUCKTOBER and I usually do something special each day for my Facebook posts. So here we are 13 days into the month and I have posted 13 different selfies on Facebook.
Today’s selfie is from my annual physical. BP = 126/74, heart rate = 76, weight = 231.8 lbs. Diagnosis= lose weight. Got my flu shot too. My doctor was kind enough to pose for a selfie. Dr. Chris Clark. An awesome dude and doctor.
A quick short to highlight my progress after 8 weeks post right hip replacement surgery. Things are progressing slow and steady. Hip and muscles around hip getting stronger almost to the level of the left hip.
After putting together the last short, I accomplished a couple more things here at the Week 8 marker. Enjoy.
Our thoughts define us, so let's focus on a few.
