Pentagenarians & Beyond: September 7, 2025

Today I did yoga/mobility for 18 minutes.

Valerie, the Amazon free shipping is confusing. They seem to be doing something similar to what Netflix did with password sharing. I hope that you have a good drive.

Diane Sue, great job with ICE Low Impact Step #2, LMR cardio bonus, and LMR Functional Mobility timesaver.

Judy, thanks for the clarification from Amazon’s website. That’s what I thought when I read about the changes.

Cathy, have a wonderful trip.
 
carolyn we are thinking utube might follow along like netflix. . we have one account and get local news in seattle area. no real news in MT. we get most of our news other ways. but the local channels are not available on cable or dish. its weird how hard it is to get straight local news.

anyway, 11 hours drive without any real problems, mostly to do driveway work and maybe a few easy mt bike rides. H should not really get on and grind that knee yet.

its weird that what amazon said is not really what they apparently meant.
 
costco had a sharing program that is gone too. for months now they have everyone sign in with their costco card as they enter the store. there is now an earlier hour of shopping for executive members. its an extra perk for those who pay for that level of membership, which we do. we buy enough there to very easily come out ahead even with the higher lannual fee. that early hour is really nice and uncrowded. Costco is the closest store for me to shop. we use their rx and auto shop too. its weird because i started out using costco for office supplies back in the '80's for my office and dH's office. they dont even carry office supplies anymore! nothing. the old cards had pics on them and for a while the entry person or checkout person checked picture on the card against who was holding the card to avoid non members using other peoples cards.

it sounds like i got all upset over nothing. the amazon second address business is not aimed at members who use the free shipping like im doing. I'm not sure where the fault is, if amazon worded it in a confusing way or if it was misinterpreted by an AI system. seems unavoidable these days.

not doing a lot today. acclimating and DH is on weed patrol. he gets all lathered about the Russian thistle that grows on our driveway. its an obnoxious plant. we spray Aggressively early in the season but some always germinates later and shows up in late summer. we do not want it going to seed. it is not a weed that can be dug out or pulled. no wonder it grows all over the west. an accidental import from Eurasia.
 
This morning I did Cardio Party for 39 minutes and 277 calories burned. My average heart rate was 135 and maximum heart rate was 169.

Valerie, I had to get a new card for Costco when they made that change. My card was so old that it wouldn’t scan. Unfortunately it was a cold day and I was bundled up in a coat with a hat on my head. The picture is terrible, but I don’t care. I have the executive membership too.

Hello to Cathy, Judy, and Diane Sue.
 
Yesterday I did a 30-minute Peloton Ride and 30 minutes of PT and Stretching. Today I did a 30-minute Peloton Ride, 30 minutes of Peloton Strength work with 5 lb dumbbells and 45 minutes Restorative Yoga. My shoulder seems a little better so I’m going to continue with what I have been doing for now.

Carolyn-Great job with yoga/mobility and Cardio Party.

Valerie-We have Costco and Sam's memberships. We tried going with just one, Sam's, for a couple of years but ended up renewing the Costco membership last year. They have some things that Sam's doesn’t and we like having both options.

Hi to Diane Sue and Cathy

I still have the old costco card. the bar code is getting faint but it still would work in a pinch. I like the picture on it even though i dont look like that anymore. lotta brown hair. no more.

did stacked upper body and my therapy work plus some pushups. ive been using that inflatable balance disk lately because i got tired of doing standing yoga positions for balance. its a change and funto use.
 
Today I did CDorner 80's cardio aerobics high or low, 45 minutes, 292calories, heart rate 134/163, 3,953 minutes. I also did some costochondritis stretches. I was really hurting yesterday. Tomorrow I have our air guy coming over to service our HVAC and put new insulation around the pipe outside. It is deteriorating.
