Sure SG, but it'll be homework (miofascial on lower legs and feet next week I believe) If you can make it over tomorrow you can be the body for the neck and upper back homework (good stuff).


Clinic went great, thanks for asking. The first man I worked on fell asleep, tiped big and scheduled an apt w/ me next week. He's a cool old Russian who still plays soccer.
Second apt was an hour and a half long, tiped too and went well. After that I was bored. Four and a quarter hours down, 110 3/4 more to go!

Sass - what pack was it you got Abby again? I recall Deuter, but not the number. I think I might get Reece some gear as a b'day gift to me in Oct.

It was the ultra bike. Lemme find a link for you. The guy who showed it to us has one for his 8 year old daughter. Hang on.....

How tall is Abby? Does it fit her well. Reece is 42" or so.
dayhiker

She's 42" too. And she hasn't tried it on yet as it's her Xmas gift. I think it's going to be okay, maybe a touch large but she'll grow into it fast. I don't like the samller junvenile pack they sell. It doesn't have the features the ultra bike does for air circulation and hydration.

How much do you think will fit in it? At about 600 ci, I would imagine clothes and toys. Sound about right?

I think I could get Abby's TNF tigger and her clothes for a two dayer in there (not that she could carry all that yet but someday....). Probably a few small toys too.

That's what we use now NS. It's okay but it's not sized for a small child and it doesn't have nice straps that would be comfortable for anyone nor pockets or ventalated back. And some of those daypacks cost just as much as a child's backpack from a gear company.

Morning everyone. No school for me today. Will catch up on laundry and housework, then I have many errands to run. Have to wait for the dealer to give me my car back before I can go anywhere. There's something wrong with my transmission - after I turn it off and take the key out, the car likes to creep forward. Fun stuff.

Wow....I have not been able to get on line all weekend....way too much traffic for Bell South I guess......a wonderful clear, cool night in Alabama.....
....I am so humbled by all the help pouring in from ALL over America for the Hurricane Victims.....it is so awesome......there was a story on about Buloxi, and how there are law enforcement officers from 26 states helping, so the Buloxi officers can have some relief and take care of personal stuff.....
...we went to Montgomery to watch a friend race Saturday.....there was SO MANY vehicles coming from all over loaded full of supplies.... disaster relief groups...church groups.....you name it!!!...it was awesome.....

Good morning,

There was a call for volunteers from my church to help secure homes for 16 evacuees from the hurricane, who will be living in Detroit. I guess the houses have been offered, but they need people to go through them and make sure they're liveable. Just have to make a phone call, and I should be able to go and help.

I actually got up to go running this morning. Felt good. Today was the first time I've run since July 4th. I'm not sure what inspired me.

Have to go get my TB test read by the dr. (necessary for student teaching) then I'll go visit a few folks, I think. Class again tonight.

Have a great day, everyone.

Have a great day, all! Special thoughts going out to Stovie.

I've been up since 6:30, out of bed since 7, bleah. I'm waitingfor the big brown truck and 130 lbs. of rubber pond liner, a submersible pump, and a big box o' biofilter. I wanna get that pond going and the fish out of my kitchen!
treebait

you have fish in your kitchen?????....
divinity
10:36:45 AM

Yep, koi fish living in storage bins with filters attached to the sides. We don't have our pond done yet. It was no big deal with 2 little baby fish in an 18 gallon bin, but we got a big boy a week and a half ago and he's not happy in his bigger bin, although it is nice that every time we walk past him he comes up to say "hello" and will even nuzzle your fingers. Laurel dubbed him "Nemo."
Of course the big brown truck showed up and guess what? No liner or filter! It says there should be 2 boxes on the truck and 1 is missing. Just great. I have an itty bitty high capacity fish pond pump and nothing else now. Thhbbpt!

Give yourself at least three weeks to get used to it Mapes. That was my schedule for ten years, except in summertime when my manager would cruely switch us to dayshift for two months. You're going to love the lack of road traffic and shoppers in stores, etc.

Rain rain rain here. I need it to stop for a couple of days so I can plant some perenial seeds for next summer.

I had a great garden this year :) My bell pepers were the bestest! 6 plants filled the freezer with peppers for the winter :)

and check out my fancy dancy Snake gourds which I will either 1) make into a digeridoo
2) make into rainsticks
or 3) paint up really cute like snakes :D





Please excuse the mess- I have been dismatling the jungle for the year and the dogs have been helping.

It's a beautiful morning here in NH. 35 degrees - autumn has arrived. Some of the leave are changing and most will be down in a few weeks. Winter isn't far behind. We usually get our first snow around the end of October. Whoohooo! I can't wait to strap on the boards and do some downhill sliding.
