All is well. Arm is stronger then ever. I have my sights set on a Masters competition in 2012. It just so happens that it will be on the wknd I turn 50!
Dropped 25 pounds and have not even started into my weights. Just lots of walking. Phase 2 starts Dec 1.
We hit 17C here which I think is about 64F? Terrible summer...cold and rainy, then we got up to 90F and 9 days later snow and cold all through Oct and now this warm weather...very unusual for here.

New guy in the breakroom I see.
Glad your doing well. I started back to the weights this wee with a guy from work. (more of a short hulk 
) Arms feel like lead and I can barely lift my lunchbox. This is supposed to be good for me?
Local Electric co-op up here can estimate our usage. They can't do it more than 2 or 3 months in a row and if you want to contest it, the'll let you read your own meter that month and adjust the bill. Next month after that, they are sure to read the meter to make sure it's right......
Evenin' All. It's a sweltering -18* this fine evening. Fresh pot of coffee is percolating. Should be a good night.
) Arms feel like lead and I can barely lift my lunchbox. This is supposed to be good for me? .....the idiots that read the meters here don't always READ them. If they're too lazy on any particular day, they won't get out of the truck to do the reading and instead do an 'estimated' reading. They might do this 4 or 5 times in a row, so when they finally DO an actual reading, it's so high we endup with a $1500 bill. After figuring out what they're doing, talking with their supervisors and calling the public utilities commission, I've found out that nothing will be done.

Okay so here is what you do. Start with a 12 oz., then move up to a 24oz. After that go to a quart, then half gallon, then a 12pack, then a 20 pack, 2-20 packs then a pony and finally a full keg. Great part is when you finish that program, you wont ever remember that your arms feel like lead!!!

It's almost as slow in here as it is at work........
Been 8 hours since I had a new customer. Pushing 4 hours since the last post..........
Perhaps a strong pot of joe will get something started. I wonder if the reactor is in the closet.........

Just be careful and don't push it too quick. Guess I will be redoing the shoulder surgery when we get back from our spring trip - - nasty. 
Weather has been terrible down here too. Had to go have a nap in the sun on the lanai yesterday. Flowers are all blooming, can't keep stuff pruned - - really tough. Come around more often and say boo. We miss ya.

You're welcome big guy. Just didn't want you freezing solid - - need some warm liquids running down that guzzle pipe. Couldn't figure out how to plug you in for the night to keep you ready to start in the morning.
