Walked a little this week, today started danercise back up. Use it or lose it ,ssurprised how not doing it slowed me back down. I guess yall know how the bike riding turned out, so no more of that. I've never fallen before. Not that hard anyay.

My knees were just some of the surgeries, I've had in the last several years.
But thank you for the encouragement just the same.
And probably will have several more in the future.

Missouri is getting cold. I'm going to be working in Polo, and staying in Cameron for a few days. Not looking forward to going to work in sub freezing weather. I wouldn't have been out hiking in the cold either, so you're doing better than me!

Dang, you're getting closer to where I live.
And you're right Missouri is getting colder.
Trying to get tired enough to sleep.
Didn't work, still got up every couple hours to wander around inside.
It's a brisk 19* here this morning.
Stay warm Spikedriver.
Red Rooster is good place to eat in Polo.

I just did a member search for BlueZ and his name didn't come up. Then I went back through this thread and it appears he has changed his user name. So it appears that he is still with us, but just not active at the moment.
