Did our park walk this morning for 75 minutes. i went back on my usual nsaid and feel much better. now DH is having a knee problem. I swear its always something. was a pleasant sunny day today. did some stretches and let that be it.

yesterday did only therapy work. today I did 25 on the spin bike, then then the new upper body workout. cant think of the name of it. i had looked at it thinking it might be ok because its not that intense but too many moves took weight overhead so I havent done it in almost 2 months...

we got some lively weather last evening, with lightning and thunder and rain but not as intense as predicted. we were at the furthest north fringe area that was potentially affected. no wind to speak of and interesting rather than destructive. sometimes ( usually) the weather...

supposed to be warm today too but not so far. did a park walk this morning for 75 minutes, nice and uncrowded. possible thunderstorms and hail tonight. this is very unusual for here so we are battening things down. will be hard on plants that are just flowering. aftter this storm...

we drove back to WA yesterday. mostly a smooth drive, just long. 11 hours . this morning it was lovely here and warming rapidly so we rode the regular trail, 15 miles about an hour 15 minutes. forgot my watch to time it but we've done it so many times.! early this morning a cougar was...

we were going to ski this morning but it was cold, windy, very windy and gray. not the forecast but whatever. the road had been driven on, so we bagged the idea and came back here. usually there is a berm blocking traffic but it had been plowed away already. leaving in the morning. i did...

ohh harvey is adorable~. a big guy too. if he was abused at all, maybe he was shut into something likea closet or some other tight place? this is so new, it might take a while. I've only had one dog so I'm no expert but he has to develop trust that you're not going to hurt him and that...

yesterday I did a fast 12 minutes on the elliptical then stacked upper body . thru it once and repeated about half the moves a second time, using heavier weight then therapy. this morning we drove into the park and xc skied. first time in at least 2 years. it was hard and I felt like a...

we did the drive yesterday with dry sunny the whole way. takes 10 hr 45 minutes. all the issues we had before we left last time have settled down. new water heater works great. snow on driveway has shrunk to very little. we can see our local elk herd off downhill, hundreds of them ...

our "many- times changed" plan is now to leave tomorrow early. weather looks ok for the drive in all areas. passes have snow and ice but ok. . Puss is going to kitty kennel. not my favorite option but its what will work right now. I did a short 20 min spin, therapy work, and half of...

Good chance it was a barred owl shannon. they make all kinds of weird sounds, howls and barks. very vocal. especially during daylight hours. snakes are fascinating. we have rattlesnakes in montana but havent seen one in a long time. supposedly there is a large den area where many...

I couldn't understand how they got confused about short ear versus snowy owl. they ran a big pictorial article about how lucky this person was to get pics of the "snowy" owl. I contacted them to put in my 2 cents but never was acknowledged. we have short ears here, also screech and pygmy...

I did a yard walk yesterday. today I did therapy work and am going to do part of stacked upper body, the moves I can do without being worrisome for over stressing the shoulder area. Carolyn, you are possibly in for some bad weather. stay safe! we had several years when we saw...

we dont get snowy owls here often. need an "irruption" year . they are so interesting but its such weird coloring. glad you enjoyed it. i know flamingos are the pink/orange color because of components of their diet, owls? probably not. makes you wonder if he got splashed with some...

oh no , so sorry about your dog. dogs can adapt to being tripods pretty quickly but if she is old that may not be smooth or worth it. my niece recently had to put her dog down because of a leg cancer but the dog was younger and adjusted well to the amputation. She only got another...

we did our normal park walk this morning, several miles and about 75 minutes. i see no reason to quit this, my knee was fine. many people think keeping moving is the best thing to keep joints working... shannon's motion is lotion comment... so i am doing that. would like to ride again...

judy thats exactly right. also everyone else, somehow I did not have access to several of your posts, only judy's, but now others are showing. doc gave me the standard "boilerplate" patient speech like if I were on the floor I'd need help getting up. (lets hear it for the forward...

don't we all hate the stupid time changes!. Id settle for either but its the flip flop for no good reason. the shape of my hands would never put thumbs in a position to text. never. when I see people doing it I marvel that Ican type. i have always typed on my phone with one right...

we might have had some snow closures but not many. no schools had Ac so we suffered. you sort of get used to being miserable but it does affect how well you function. i looked at a map and yes, lake superior/michigan will affect snow events for sure. i vaguely remember going skiing in...
