Not really. The docs told us two years ago he'd probably lose sight in the remaining eye, and we were thinking it would be sooner rather than later. If they had told me then that we'd get two more years I'd have taken it in a heartbeat.
Plus, he's doing pretty good, I'll take him out tonight or tomorrow to his old pheasant hideouts (prairie, not brush) and see how he does.

No, just searching for the right word. "Hard" didn't sound right.

Understand, however I was referencing your "upper body" workout. Perhaps you should work more on your pump. The young girls most definitely are impressed with a good pump. Work on your reps and choose to work with less weight. To much bulk can be counterproductive to a good pump. In that bulk-weight-makes it difficult to accomplish a good push or pull, which is necessary for a good pump.
You're welcome....
Addition: More should follow your example in choosing the right word on a written forum. Avoids many misunderstandings.

That's true. For instance instead of "slipping" you should have said sliding.

I think the correct word for that is "impressive"!

The Wife and I went out to Portland to visit her relatives and celebrate our anniversary. Wife has always been big into hiking so we went and did a 6-9 miles hike each morning on trail of her choosing. Steep, but doable. Anyhow, just hiked and relaxed on weights for this week. Hitting it hard with weight and cardio conditioning again starting Monday. Of note a couple of weeks ago I discovered a new and interesting way to challenge myself. 275 lbs dead lifts for five reps then immediately bang out 10 burpees. Knock out five sets of the same as fast as safely possible. Keep a puke receptacle close at hand if you've not done this before.

I rotate days: 12 mile bike ride 668 feet elevation typically 15.2 mph average on Strava .. 45 minutes hike 2.6 miles 266 feet elevation typically 3 mph average on Strava..... 45 minutes carry my 23 pound grandson around.....3 hours
The two guys I hunt with never exercise, but the extra 100 pounds they each have over me, makes them seem like human tractors at dragging deer.

my quads are sore from the hill repeats! pretty smoky this morning, but Tiny Elvis didn't seem to mind. Saw a set of eyes off the trail that weren't deer, kept a little closer eye on TE. 3-ish miles

Swam about 1/2 mile in the Sound, only notable because I was pleased to find that my shoulder has healed/stabilized since last time I swam, when it was poppin' to make Orville Redenbacker proud. So swimming is back on the menu!

Heading out on SUnday for a week of bowhunting so I'm tapering down this week, easy cardio and resistance sessions. The girls sure are disappointed when they see I'm not going all-out.
