Ah Friday and life is easy.

Tomorrow I have a date with a pleasant lady and I'm nervous as a schoolboy being sent to the principal's office. Why I'm nervous I don't know. Maybe it is because I think I like this lady very much.

As for today, it was easy, a piece of cake, a walk in the woods. It was fast. All I really did today was go to the fitness center and work out for about an hour and a half. 35 minutes on the treadmill at 6 MPH with increasing steepness at 10, 15, 20, 25 and 17.5 minutes before going into cooll down mode at 30 minutes. Then onto the rowing machine for another 20 minutes followed by some of the execises and strecthing routines recommended by my Physical Therapist. Then I made a few suggestions to the fitness center's manager.

As for the Afternoon just a simple 50 mile jaunt to my brother's house to get my bicycle, chainsaws and weed wacker so I could get them serviced for the new season of killing trees shrubs weeds and other plants. While there I played with his dog for a bit. She's not a bad dog just not the brightest of the breed. Then it was over to the shop to let them service the tools and home. About 130 miles for the day. or about 9 gallons of gasoline at $3.32 a gallon (lowest price locally).

Well dinner was a simple meal; salad, barbequed pork sandwich, beer and flan for desert, followed by more beer earlier this evening. Now I'm out of beer.

Tomorrow morning its off to the fitness center and then who knows what till tomorrow evening's meeting the Barn Sider and Concert at the Lyceum in Sugar Loaf. :)

Yesterday, 2 mile run in the morning before PT and Orthopeadic appointment at the VA hospital. Then a 5 to 6 mile walk in the afternoon.

Sooner or later my knee brace is going to disassemble itself from the use and abuse its recieving from me. Think of Forest Gump running his leg braces off in the movie of the same name.

Well time to clean up and go to bed tomorrow should be a good day, just waiting to see what the weather does or doesn't do. Thunderstorms are forecast as well as a changing weather pattern. The original idea was to go for a walk on the hiking trails. Well we'll see what happens.

Cheers & prosit.
