Dude, that sounds like some work? How is the knee holding up?

It'll be a bit of a test, that's what I'm looking for right now. I've been doing a bit of biking both road and trail, and its been holding-up pretty good. I'm 5 months post-op, so I'm getting a bit more ballistic with it. I also pump iron 1-2 times a week, so the girth and strength are finally returning. In general its doing okay, its usually fairly sore and I still don't have full flexion yet (I can get to at least 140 degrees, so no worries, either) Hurts like a beeeeeyotch when the low-pressure arrives, so I thankfully don't have to listen to Dr. Mel or Brad Field or Geoff Fox any more. :smile:

Humid as all hell today. Installed three 90 inch bluestone treads on my front steps this morning. Just came in from brushing them clean and it's still thick and nasty out there.

Went hiking in PA as planned, not bad but hot and humid. After which I totaled my car, rammed a Nissan Pathfinder in the back with my Honda Civic, the Civic didn't hold up too good against the Pathfinger's bumper :( Got home and ran out and purchased a Toyota Corolla. It's in front of the house already.

Whoa. I'm assuming you're okay?

Thanks, I'm presently looking at the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) Area (believe it's just north of the Delaware Water Gap) , looks like some interesting hikes there. Ever been?

that place is great! They have a lot of good nature programs. You can go cross country skiing in the winter for about $15. They provide the equip and instruction.

Yeah, me and my wife are OK. There was a pregnant women in the truck, for now, she's my biggest concern. She seemed like she was ok, but they did take her to the hospital just to check her out.

She didn't say her husband was an attorney, did she???

Yeah, was a nice mellow hike compared to what we're used to. Got in about 6.5 miles, wanted to see the falls there but missed a turn :(

Bummer Andy. I totalled my Civic rear ending a pickup. It's designed to 'accordion', thus reducing the impact for the passengers. Looks like hell afterwards though.

++vibes for the passenger++

Thanks. I called her husband earlier to see how she's doing. He says she's ok as is the baby, but they are keeping her in the hospital because she started having contractions.

Friday we left Vancouver on the 4pm ferry from Tswassan to Vancouver Island, then Saturday went to a whale watch (two decent breeching pictures - got better ones last year), then went to the Insect Zoo in Victoria, where the wife held Tarantula, scorpions and others,

Sunday wenty up to north Vancouver Island and went spelunking at Horne Lake caves. Pretty good 5 hours of exercise.

No snow at Whistler yet, but it'll be there soon.

Back home to CT tomorrow, then to Florida and some diving for next weekend. It's good to have customers in good places.
