Good afternoon, Yard.

I'm trying to bounce back from a series of injuries at work. One took my lower back out but I have since recovered. The other a few weeks later did some serious injury to a knee. In fact, I think the only thing left intact was PCL and MCL. Everything else was either torn, broken, or severed. It turns out that would have been a career ender, had I not chosen to retire. I'm still not recovered enough to have been released back to work and likely won't be until mid March. I'll be lucky to get 80% recovery and thats not looking good.

But with a gimp brace, I can do most things without the grinding popping and associated pain. But almost 9 months of inactivity has taken a toll. Weight gain and loss of muscle mass is going to take time to reverse. I'll get there but I literally have to walk before I can run. I'm hoping by summer I will hit some mid term goals for fitness.

Back in the day, I was a pretty competitive amateur in the highland/Strong Man Games. I just sold off a good portion of my weights since we are moving and it's unlikely I'll be lifting crazy heavy weight anymore. I'm going to ease into the freakish Oldman strength category.

I hope you can regain your former fitness level or at least close enough to enjoy some physical activities. Hit Randy up for some tips on reduced physical activity. Unfortunately I can’t help because my wife does all the strenuous activity around here.

Good one Ray!!!

Yeah, Y’all old folks stick together to gang up on us younguns.

I’m glad it’s raining again. I was afraid our mud was gonna dry out.

And goooood morning guys!

Morning. Boy our snow is fast disappearing. But they’re already getting the mud wrestling pits ready and the entry forms have been sent to the all girls junior collage.

You WOULD know that!

Good morning Yard. Off to Wally world for some pet food and a few other items.

Good morning, Yard.
