One of my smarter purchases 2-3 years ago was a set of strap-on spikes for walking on icy surfaces (like our driveway yesterday). I don't remember the brand--maybe IceTrax or something like that--but I put them on an old pair of boots and left them on permanently. One of our neighbors slipped on ice a week or two back and is scheduled for knee surgery this week. The spikes are money well spent.

Years ago some hydro workers saw my FIL walking his dog on an icy day. They stopped and gave him a pair and even put them on his boots for him. They not only saved a mid-80s senior from falling, but when we saw how well they worked we all got ourselves some.

I got a bar installed into my roof.

Just so whenever I have guests, I can say drinks are on the house.

I've just finished breakfast, but I am always up for a good Pizza. Salami, Olives, Garlic, Anchovies (Fresh preferably), and a liberal application of herbs.

I'm almost 4 months post surgery on my thigh, where surgeons removed a benign mass in September. I did pt when I was ready, and used completing my pt as an excuse to keep the momentum going and start exercising again in earnest. I started a couch to 5k program 4 weeks ago. I should probably mention I've lost almost 70 lbs in the last year as well.

In 1 week, I'll be doing my first 5k race since Fall of 2020. I've already run-walked the same distance during training runs.

@EdBoatConnoisseur It's insane how much TV is catered to boomers, Sean Hannity's show he mentions israel so much it's insane, only boomers care that much because they're fucking stupid.

Spent the day #geocaching between Hermiston and Pendleton, traveling some back roads I had never been on before. It was a lot of fun and we found some neat old cemeteries.

So, another winter and another attempt to become a winter cyclist. To help me form up the habit, I've decided to keep a diary, and if you're interested I'll post here each time I add an entry.

Hopefully the habit will stick this time 😅

Buy yourself a Ford F150 or Dodge RAM and put a bike on a free standings tand in the cargo area. This way you can pretend to be doing winter cycling 🙂

(I never stopped using my clunker bike in winter to go shopping.

Likely my last #AmateurRadio #HamRado #POTA #parksontheair activation for 2025. Couldn't come at a better time #400 from US-7956. Thanks to all for the help in reaching this milestone. Let's see how long it will take to reach a half kilo in 2026. But look for me in a few days for the ARRL Straight Key Night January 1, 2025, from 0000 UTC through 2359 UTC

The issue wasn’t just that the speaker claimed not to know anything about his own government, but that he insisted on answering questions anyway.

I don't suppose anyone is flying from #Miami to the Northwest (#Portland) in the next few weeks who would be willing to meet and escort a street #dog for us... Feel free to boost this unlikely request. That's the only place they can be sent at this time of year from #Aruba, apparently.
