I quess this is an excuse.

True to form.

You're doing a great job Joe! Keep it up!

I think this is good for a change but not necessary for every session, just like throwing in some supersets or high reps/low weights every so often. Don't you feel the need to lift some heavy weights now?

How's your food intake these days? And have you taken over the fridge yet? Or do you still only have one shelf in the kitchen?

Besides destroying my ego, lifting max weight can only align me for injury. which will keep me out of the gym alot longer than my desire, or should I say lack of desire.

What's wrong with my happy little shelf? LOL Nothing is misplaced, unless I misplace it.

Where have you been, I've been looking for you.

Well, nothing is WRONG with your little shelf. I just think you should have some space in the fridge as well! Like, maybe half of it.

I've been around but not much. We only see the sun for 3 months in Portland so I'm outside as much as possible these days!

Hope you and the family are enjoying your summer.

Sailing? I love the idea of sailing, so long as I don't have to do any of the work. My husband had a boat when we met. It was like:

Make picnic lunch

Drive to marina and do 1/2 hour prep

Ride over very bumpy water to Long Island Sound

Try to avoid other boats

Anchor in sound and yell at other bigger boaters who are drifting into you while they're drinking

Put foot in water, pull back because it's COLD and smells weird

Go back home over bumpy water

Do 1 hour clean-up

That lasted about 1 summer for me!

Try not boating in new york next time, might be more enjoyable.

Totally agree. I want to go sailing with Joe's family in CA. I bet that if I agreed to bring the food then they wouldn't make me clean the boat afterwards.

All Vegans are always welcome and catered to.

Waiting for the fireworks show on the 4th of July.

Those are 2 of our daughters and our youngest granddaughter. Thank you very much for your kind words.

Ah, I didn't get the whole picture the last time I looked. Whatever their ages or relation, they're still beautiful!
