Shannon it was weird. the shock only happened once, after i ran for a couple minutes. it was a visible spark if i touched the hand rails. we only had 2 treadmills, didnt know it was that odd. they exchanged the treadmill and we got a fancier one than we needed. weve used it...

I have several back braces a little bigger than the one judy gave you a link to. mine has a stiff section mid lumbar area. it overwraps with a big velcro attachment in the front. it was in the $35 range. used it for years. it definitely helps. i am convinced no two people have...

Carolyn, hang in there on the wind and rain. hope you, house, and property do get thru the hurricane ok.

our treadmill was expensive too but we wore out our first one and replaced it with a similar one. that one had an electrical defect that was hard to identify but it kept giving me shocks when i ran on it when i touched the rail. Precor replaced it at no added charge with a nicer one than...

yesterday i fired up the treadmill and walked uphill on it for 20 min and then did half of stacked upper body. today i got out the mt bike and rode the neighborhood. DH's bike is still in the shop. it took me 45 min, longer than usual. i had difficulty juggling my jacket and my phone...

I had a productive morning. first appt was physiatrist where we reviewed outcome of hip injections and I talked about my re done xrays from yesterday that we had not seen. i thought the first xrays i got did not capture the area where i have discomfort. I explained the delay on...

Judy we are lucky here that there was a program to use old railroad right-of-ways and convert to walking and riding trails. DH and i used to ride on regular roads most of the time but as the area grew and got busier, it started getting harder and harder to do it safely. meanwhile trails...

even before it was listed on the trail rules, i was bellowing "on your left" as we approach people from the back. some folks are hard of hearing. many have ear buds or a headset, cant hear anything. the ones who hear usually say thanks or raise a hand to show they heard. there are...

We rode the trail this morning for 1.5 hours. it was foggy to start and cold but got sunny as we finished. fishing has opened on the river where we see salmon this time of year but we have not seen a one yet. we take time to look but some years are better fish runs than others...

Hugs to you Cathy. hope things go smoothly.. We decided to reduce the size of our veggie garden significantly. DH and I took down the net fencing and we spent the morning getting rebar stakes out of the logs we had used to hold up the sides and keep it somewhat level. we dont have...

oh Cathy that's a big blow. i'm so sorry. it will be very hard on your parents.

yesterday we did a mt bike. all did not go very well. DH started riding. when i got on i realized my seat was way too low but i cant hold the bike up and wiggle the seat up at the same time, 3 hands needed at least. i tried to catch up with him but then the seat suddenly dropped a few...

I dont think we know what happened with Diane sue. she and her husband were selling and moving, and she was having problems with arthritis if i remember right. its been a while now. shannon wow 160 acres? we are on 5 acres and thats a lot. we have a lot of very big trees, like...

I walk a lot most of the time. even now with the back issue, i try to get in mileage, just broken into shorter segments. shannon, we live on top of a hill. everything is down and then of course, back up. the road is a good workout on a bike. walking on asphalt made me more sore. when i...

Carolyn i know! as you probably found out it can cost thousands to get it all redone. just the windshield washer container was expensive because it's not easy to access and they had to take a lot of things apart to get to it and fit in a replacement. it was a hard milky colored plastic...

Field mice are always an issue in Montana. we have brought them home with us in our car and our truck. hidden somewhere in the engine or underneath somewhere. we put mesh screen on some of the vents to prevent it, b ut its not 100%. they can get inside the passenger area easily from...

Good morning. I'm feeling a lot better today. i really felt awful yesterday, a combo of the very difficult drive and sitting and bouncing for 13 hours. plus the UTI. i had a terrible night sleep too. i didnt have proof yet it was a UTI but i was quite sure. when i was a little...

checking back in. we had a decent trip. our friends got to our house 2 days before us because they were already traveling in north dakota so we helped them get inside and turn things on. we mwet them there and then did some camping and limited hiking on the beartooth plateau. it was...

i didnt know it made national news. now the punks probably think they're famous!! but for all the wrong reasons . i think someone else saw them doing it and reported them and tried to put out the fires. i dont remember if they got pics. but selfies! how dumb can you get. so few...

good morning long drive yesterday almost 12 hrs. we are meeting neighbors here so i may be absent much of the week. for anyone who is interested, you can look up the video of the punk kids driving in their trucks shooting fireworks and flames all over, starting the chelan hills fire...
