it sounds silly, but walking with two canes reminds muscle groups of XC skiing.

and a little of this and a little of that.

yesterday the 41st annual golf outing.

we now do two a year.

used to be five.

some of the original group are gone.

today lots and lots of grounds work.

dau&gdau coming for visit.

i do like to use my toys.

have to sharpen the chains on the three saws.

and the blades on the brush cutter.

don't know if the knee shots are working.

[fish]

trying to keep it going.

5 year old granddaughter is here for a week, so i'm getting my exercise.

beach today.

fun

[Smoke]

Yup, a 5 year old will keep you on your toes!
Enjoy your time together.

[fish]

keeping up with 5 year olds is good exercise.

plus the usual.

stretching

dbbls

clubs

cane

ball

knees not as good as hoped following injections.

left not good at all, but i could feel it as the doc missed the target.

[Smoke]

Is replacement an option?

[fish]

knee replacement makes me nervous.

and i know folks who have had bad experiences.

24-25 wood delivered yesterday.

four cord to move and stack.

i'll get lots of extra daily exercise for a while now.

still will be doing the AD etc.

beach was very nice today.

[Smoke]

I had on friend that had it done and had problems but come to find out it was her hip that was giving her the problem.

Keep moving.

[fish]

more rain

but still getting the wood done.

gorilla cart is easier than the wheelbarrow.

need some more pallets.

riding the bike and doing the other exercise.

DmbBls are only 10 lbs each, but it's more a conditioning and range of motion movement series than weight training.

it's easy though.

combination of curl, shoulder press, triceps extension, and upright row done in a continuing flow.

biceps, triceps, deltoids and general shoulders, along with all the stabilizers and synergists.

there is grip work, too.

Standing

dbbls at sides

curl up

shoulder press up

triceps extension down

upright row

return to sides

[Smoke]

Glad you mixing it up! I need to do more of that.

[fish]

rain

on some wood days I take time to "true the stacks".

look down the line and see where the wood wall is leaning one way or the other.

3 lb hand sledge hammer banging away one piece of wood at a time to keep the wall as close to vertical as possible so it won't collapse over time.

this has to be done on occasion as wind, weather, and gravity make incremental changes.

our wood piles have to stand for the better part of 2 years.

believe me, this is exercise.

the walls are about 25 feet long and 4 feet high.

thousands of pieces of wood.

get the rhythm going !
