Shannon we ride a paved bike/walking trail. we ride some roads around here but very few . mostly in farming areas. there are small sections on busy roads, like going across bridges, where there is no bike lane. no way will you win a duel with a car or an asshat driver. no death wish...

wow judy, 90 min on an indoor bike is unimaginable to me. strong work on that!. outdoors im fine with that time but not indoors. 30 min max we did our regular road ride today 75 ,minutes, i did stacked upper body last night along with therapy. i love avocado toast. absolutely love it...

ended up doing more gardening today because it was cooler and cloudy, much easier to get things done then. its a microclimate area where our garden sits, and it gets very warm there. congrats on getting in some walking. the older you are, the more likely you are assumed to be a total coach...

we did a garden day today for half the day. DH usually does most of it and I do just weeding but i have to do more of it while walking is unpleasant for him. we will ride the trail tomorrow. maybe a bit more garden work but we decided to get some smaller home projects done while we...

Cathy Puss is ambidextrous!. he opens both right and left doors and cabinets. he didnt know how when he first got here. learned quickly. he opened some full size doors that didnt latch completely so he could check out our exercise room. its so nice to know DH has gotten attached to...

Good morning. we rode the regular trail this morning. the knee issue is increasingly a problem. we will hopefully get definite plans when his dentist calls back & hopefully sees him tomorrow to evaluate whats needed. dental work and an orthopedic procedure need to be separated in...

Dh's knee didn't improve much so we decided to drive home yesterday. it was either friday or saturday. 12 hours, the last 2 hours in terrible traffic. ugh. we left later expecting to arrive in the metro area later, but somehow we made up the time and got here too early, it was pretty...

Good morning everyone. weve been keeping busy here. i remember a party line but not for too long. my mother liked to blabber on the phone for hours so they got a private line early on. yep cathy, she was one of the chatty ones. nothing important either, just like to yak endlessly. i...

I really was tired yesterday., but just before dinner I did most of the exercises from stacked upper body plus a few others using the gear i have here. I have better 12 lb dumbbells here so use them instead of the 10's. i dont like the fat handles of the coated dumbbells. also the core...

shannon when people hear "russian thistle" they might think of the tall spiny plant with the neon pink flowers. Weeds end up with so many common names and regional names that its not always clear what plant we are talking about. this is tumbleweed in its green and growing state. its spiny...

nice uneventful drive with extremely light traffic. could hardly believe it. 11 hours . all looks ok. im tired today, no way am i functional on the first day. going to work on the weed problem. being a holiday weekend road construction .... as Cathy has mentioned..... could be a problem...

Shannon, he is staying here and guarding the house. this is not a relaxed trip. we need to do a range of "house things" including spray the driveway. its a big project. the weeds, mostly Russian thistle aka tumbleweed grow fast and nasty. you cannot pull them out even when very small...

A ride again this morning, this on road bikes our usual 15 miler. 1 hr 15 minutes. planning on leaving sunday so getting things organized. i like to take a lot of groceries along since after driving 11 hours we dont like to have to drive 60 miles the next day to and from a grocery...

carolyn i had the first oven , a whirlpool, for several years. (this house was designed to have a wall oven and a separate cooktop). thats GE. it was a combo wall oven/microwave. big mistake. the microwave went out with no way to fix it, so DH and I pulled the whole mess out of the wall and...

had a good ride this morning, an hour and forty minutes. they have whacked down a lot of trees in areas we used to ride, leaving a mess thats not rideable. sometimes they create new roads and its easy to get lost. we are getting the feeling they are trying to discourage bikes. they...

Shannon that's exactly what im talking about! I had problems before but they were deniable. when we got back to the car I felt ok again but we talked on the way home, a long difficult drive, about what i had to do next. it really wasn't over yet. before getting the pacer they...

yesterday I did a 30 min spin and all therapy work. this morning we did a 80 min walk, with DH all braced and doing ok. women have more health care needs younger than men. we get used to seeing health care professionals. what totally knocked me for a loop was a pacemaker at a fairly...

Cathy he is finding out quickly that he can make other areas sore using a brace but stops before its an issue. we are expecting the final brace this week but its coming fed ex and we dont have tracking. he sees surgeon this Friday & i cant tell you how much I am looking forward to that...

We did our park walk this morning with DH using his temporary brace. seemed to help but it switches the stresses elsewhere so probably not good long term. took an hour 23 minutes going a little slower than usual its 2.5 miles with hills and a bathroom stop and a couple chats a...

got busy today after rain cancelled our walk. did a 10 min warm up on the spin bike, then therapy work. then first half of stacked upper body plus 20 min on the elliptical. i threw in a few more stretches and push ups. we were supposedly behind on rainfall for the year but not after...
