Better late than never!
No real workouts, lots of oddball stuff.

Mowing

[Smoke]

Guess we need to keep posting to stay on top of the bots.

Getting steps in. Mowed twice. Could use a harrow!

[fish]

a harrow !

just how big a place are you mowing?

our rental places offer harrows.

i have mowed a couple of times, and used every attachment on the kombi

pole saw, brush cutter, weed wacker, hedge trimmer.

maine has years with unusual weather.

unusual weather is usual ?

anyway, this is one of them.

low bush blueberries are in.

and i don't mind deadheading the petunias.

interesting that the bots can get past the prove you are human gate.

how is pam, anyway ?

[Smoke]

lol it’s really not that big but I haven’t mowed the field yet this year so it’s really high. Could probably get a few bails out of it.

Takes about 4 hours to do everything with a push mower.

Pams doing ok, tried to get her back here.
She’s been busy with her business with the epoxy cups and signs, shirts.

have you tried a brush cutter ?

we have at least 4 different blades for ours for different applications.

the brush knife is a beast, and the chisel tooth blade will take down fair sized trees.

and the so called hedge clipper can be used as a mower.

look at page 9

If I’d keep up with it the mower is good.

So I’ve been feeling like crap lately! Saturday again I barely got out of bed. Just want to sleep. So this morning I got up and hopped on th treadmill! Did 30 minutes... it’s something.

I hate feeling like this, I need to lose 20 lbs... well more than that but I’ll take anything at this point.

Everything sure does get harder as you get older.😢

Wish me luck! 21 days is habit.

[fish]

i do not feel well either.

and i am as "big" as i think i have ever been.

covid 15 plus ankle pain.

34's don't want to button.

add to which my calf muscle is simply melting away because i am unconsciously changing my stride to protect my ankle.

toe raises and ski machine and stationary bike starting now.

Smoke, it is good to hear that you are going to try to get back into the habit.

it is so very important.

the older i get, the more i am thankful that i got my tired butt moving back then.

functional fitness now will enable you to function when you get to be my age.

this aging process is nasty.

And to think just back at Christmas I was down to the lowest I had been in awhile.... sucks that it is so hard to lose but all I need to do is breath and I gain!

Yea, I’m not at all thrilled with this getting old thing.

[Smoke]

Well I had one in a row... lol
Life just seems to get in the way!

[fish]

try, try again

you have done it before.
