Sounds good...

the turkey.... nah everything sounds good...

I don't recall ever pulling a muscle, truly, but I sure have had my share of wallops. Never ripped a tendon though. Broken wrist, broken leg, cuts and nasty nasty brusies, from sports mostly. The leg healed beautifully, the one wrist has been forever weak. Was set lousy. I never lift more than my own weight, even at the gym. Backbuster territory, i dont go there. I have a great back, would like to keep it. That lower back weakness from the mercury really had me quite worried. I think the wood chopping is one of the best things for my back, but I always start out easy in the fall with it.

Got to stay strong, it's real important. Just work it up slowly, don't overdo it, but do it.

not sure I like the new skiis any better than the old ones ah well it figures. They're a tad shorter so i get a bit more play mostly. I took lessons for years and years as a kid, was kiind of the routine in the winter where i grew up. They'd actually bus us out to the slopes once a week in the winter, all winter. I broke my leg because i did something really stupid and was showing off. I had tightened my bindings down all the way that day so the skiis wouldn't come off (because they'd pop on a slalom course) and then I went racing mighty moguls. Now I am just a fine form recreational skier as result. I take it easy pretty much. I have another new pair to mount up I was going to give them to my daughter. She's a bit squeamish about skiing, A late start for her at age 13 but we're getting there, i was about 8 when i started. I think you have to be real young and real stupid to really get going fearlessly right with it. I am just going to start her out on the little hills around the house. She might be too old already, we'll see I guess.

Nice workout, i'll be back at it tomorow. the slopes are covered with tourists, the holiday. I enjoy helping the 7 year olds whose parents have deserted them get down the hill safely. Then of course, i tell them 'Jesus loves you' as I ski away. Makes my day. I think I met people from 5 different countries today, lots of asian kids who had never skied before laying all over the place. I cannot believe their parents send them up without formal lessons. I have seen so many kids get terribly hurt that way. watched em wheel one away today unconscious.

got me a turkey too.. will have it ready for lunch... mmmm...

Many blessings to you and yours also.
