    Pentagenarians & Beyond: 9/1/24

    Carolyn that is so sad. and he didnt shoot himself or get shot by the police! we had a school shooting a number of years ago close by. it feels even worse when its close! DH and I were on a bike ride about 5 -10miles away, and heard the sirens and saw every kind of emergency vehicle...

    Geez another damn school shooting! I didnt read about it yet. so sad. nothing significant gets done. hand wringing and hopes and prayers...... after Sandy Hook I gave up the idea this country would ever get restrictions on firearms or ammo. We had a freeway shooting here yesterday...

    A lot of garden work yesterday. lots of stair climbing. since our yard is not close to flat, every trip is up and down several flights of stairs. makes for a lot of exercise spread out over the day. I am also no fan of amusement parks or fairs. last place was Disney world. the...

    Because of the mountainous terrain here and the risk of forest fires, fire lookouts were used a lot. also in WWII for enemy aircraft coming from the west. I have been to quite a few of them. all are similar. whoever leaves last (for the day or season is supposed to secure the doors...

    diane sue this is not a house. its a one room "cabin" manned by a single person watching for forest fires or enemy planes. they were built in high open places with as close to 360 degree views as possible. they have outlived their original purposes. now, people stay in them because...

    We did a trail ride this morning, an hour and fifteen minutes. good for a busy weekend, no big drive involved. cathy I definitely got the idea your DH is a food crank. I agree, would have thought green peppers would be less acceptable than red or orange. I like all peppers, a huge...

    we did a hike yesterday. hard but not too hard. its only 2.5 miles each way but it has a lot of elevation gain and the trail is very rough in sections. it has brushy parts that are very wet and cold, we got soaked in the first little bit of it and it was only 39 degrees to start. I...

    I've had my complaints about MyChart, and sometimes it doesn't work right, but this is terrific. usually I lose sleep worrying about results for a week. this is the first time I got them this quickly. last year they were fast but I didn't think this fast. I wasn't even looking for them yet...

    Got my negative results back already. I love that it doesnt take a week to hear the results anymore. they come right to MyChart. Mamm was done 3 hours ago. always such a huge relief.

    Had a mammogram this morning, always stressful. hopefully not TMI here.... pacemaker is pocketed under my skin on my left upper chest area. it gets dragged into the field of view on a mamm. its harder for the tech to get everything they want in view, and not covered by the pacer which...

    Did a trail ride this morning 15 miles and hour 15 minutes. unfortunately its going to rain again tonight but then it looks like it will dry out. what a strange weather month here. its warm enough for things to grow ok but tomatoes dont like being so wet. blight is a fungal disease and...

    had stopped raining by this morning. when we checked out the garden, it survived better than expected. most of the corn is upright, got 2 zucchini. we have a million cucumbers. DH starts way too many and then cant kill off the little plants. no way can we eat even 10% of the cucumbers. I...

    Judy I can do the next week but then we plan vacation. I did a 15 min warm up on the spin bike and then Pyramid Pump upper. I cant do the leg ones for a long time now, too many knee issues. I am trying to get back to doing at least the warm up moves that are usually light squats and...

    I'm ashamed to say that 85 sounds pretty good right now. it wasn't long ago I complained about how dry it was. now we are swimming. it cooled off, a lot of rain a week ago but it was short lived. now this pattern has settled in. cold( not even 60) and raining. the timing could not be...

    Cathy if you know the error codes look them up online under the stove brand/model sometimes there is more info there than what came with the stove. maybe a temporary glitch. our current microwave has gotten stuck a few times where it keeps running after you have pressed the cancel button...

    We did a state park walk this morning, took 70 minutes . hilly up and down. raining a little on and off. its busy but there is a burn ban on so that forbids campfires and reduces the smoke . makes walking more pleasant. every vehicle we have is different. it always takes a couple...

    No cathy not STS. it was the 30 min Pump one, one of the fairly recent workout series. Ive used it a few times and have a sheet with weights used somewhere but I didnt look for it, just used sensible weight and did most of it as fast as I could. I never drove a Prius. our new Subaru...

    Tried a workout I hadnt done in a while, a recent one where she went really heavy and really fast. I did just the upper body section, the 30 minute one. with the new dvd remote it didnt work well. I did enough to get a workout but I'd forgotten how fast she gallops thru this one and...
