BOb, as to joint pain, I used to do distance running for fun 30 years ago but now have problems with my shins, knees, ankles, and back whenever I try to even gently jog. On my elliptical, the only negative sensation is a numbness in the soles of my feet after using it for a couple of hours. It goes away immediately and I understand it is common and harmless.

The docs/hospital shouldn't make ordinary folk do these things! My heart was in my throat - didn't know what to expect - but had to stay calm for her. Now I need a drink! She's sleeping again. I'm constantly sneaking in to take a quick look for any leaks! Cats locked out of bedroom.

pooh, you are no ordinary folk. How nice of you to be so brave and helpful.
Bravo. And I am sure that you taste very good. If you just would eat green apples more often.

Send Norton for help, if you get in trouble!

One of the pool hoses busted today and water is all over the yard. I think it melted from the heat. They were made to hold water, not steam! I took the old one off a couple of hours ago and decided to wait until now to brave to heat to put the replacement on.

Bye, now! If you don't hear from me within the next 24 hours, assume I died from heat stroke.
Be careful man -- it is intensely HOT outside!

Just got back from swimming with Nortie. The water is so low in the pool that at first he couldn't get back on the slide by himself. The hose is running, and the water's high enough now that I was able to start the pump back up. The next step is to forget I've got the hose running and re-flood the yard.

Send Norton for help? Who do you think he is, Lassie? I was spooking him earlier by talking to him through the hose I bought. I think he thought it was a talking snake! He's cool, but he's no Einstein!

I had a stationary exercise bike, but had to give it up. The knees ain't what they used to be. Maybe I could use that device, but I have no where to put it.

No, he uses it to get out of the pool...and in, when I attach the ladder; which I only do when we swim. A bit of a safety device, given all the dogs who drown in pools every year. I coated the surface of the slide with non-skid. When I was shopping for a wire brush for the drill to rough up the surface of the plastic, the salesman asked why I was putting non-skid paint on a slide. I told him I didn't really like kids all that much. He gave me a mighty strange look.

I am certain some really nice artistic reefer painting will net you some profit. I get a cut or a picture or something if that idea sells.
