Good for you John. I have been retired for a long time and I honestly can’t tell you how I had time for a real job, given all we are doing even now, when we have turned the wick down on travel, toys, etc. We are very busy. The difference is we are doing exactly what we want every minute. I...

I have an old Trotter (actually is a Cybex, the first one they brought out after acquiring the Trotter brand). It is fairly new by Trotter standards miles wise (I did buy a new belt for it just before I decommissioned it). and is commercial grade, with power incline and decline, etc. It is in...

I love our local YMCA. It is an old building that is a labyrinth of halls and rooms. Way back when we moved into the area, when I joined, it took me maybe 3 visits before I was sure I wasn’t going to get lost moving from one activity to another. We have a very modern, pretty much state of the...

John, you really know how to make a guy feel OK about himself. :) And I bought my Walker used. ;)

Truth be told, I do have enough space in the garage for even my favorite cardio machine (the Jacobs Ladder), but it means moving things around and reallocating some stuff to the storage shed that I have dreams of one day weaning myself off of. I think with what looks like a looming recession...

I had a Yanmar diesel in two different sailboats I have owned down through the years. Absolutely the best small diesel money can buy, IMO. Bulletproof. I have pics of them here somewhere.

Yeah, I am pretty done with gyms, for a lot of reasons. In recent years, like the last 10 or so, we have walked/hiked between 5 and 10 miles a day. Partly for our fitness and also really for the dogs. Our current dogs have always gotten that treatment since they were pups (Mary has solo'ed it...

I too like the bands, it is amazing actually how much you can accomplish with them. I could upgrade in that area with just a few anchors. Before I quit of my hip, when I used a single length, I would put a knot in it and close it in the door, which worked great unless Mary came in when I had...

Hey Mike, While at Honda Racing, were you involved in the Fit engine project for SCCA FF?.

I love the green. I first a saw it here on @hell's thread.

I used our local YMCA for years and it fit my needs perfectly. It had the Jacobs Ladder (IMO, the greatest single piece of fitness equipment ever invented), battle ropes, Bulgarian Bags, treadmill and of course the Free weights. Everything I needed in one place with plenty of room for the...

Yeah, that is why I didn't even buy the blower or sweeper attachment for my Walker (which does have a cab option, but I bet they sell like 2 a year, nutty expensive). But dang, ask me the next snowmeggeddon winter we have and I will like, "how much is expedited shipping?" :)

I second the cab idea. I only have about 60' of driveway and a turn around cut out. I use a two stage Husqvarna snow blower and it works fine for clearing that space, BUT, I will say, it takes me a good long while to clear it, maybe an hour or two to do it right (we only get heavy snow...

Does the factory service manual or owners manual call out re-torqueing the U-Bolt nuts as a regular maintenance item? I was wracking my brain (which admittedly is in a compromised state at the moment), and I don't think there is a nut/bolt bolt on any car I have ever owned, that once torqued to...

I have a Walker ride on that gets a pretty good workout. Incredibly well built. Mine has the fuel injected Koehler which has been flawless in performance. I do an annual maintenance on it and it is a chore. There has to be 50 zerks on the damn thing. But I do love the flip up and removal...

Too funny. :)

I would go a step further and add, the times I use a dealer for oil change is the rare exception. I always keep my receipts, BUT, I have never been asked for a receipt of any kind before was granted warranty repairs by a dealer.

A long time ago now, when I was buying in very large volume component wise, I lived in a place with a lot of stairs to the front door. I always got my orders, but when I was getting 10K projectiles in an order, the UPS guy could get down right surely at times. :)

Hard to beat a big tri-tip…. :)

Sorry dudes, still learning the ropes.
