I used to work out every day, I also used to look like a playboy centerfold. :frown: Now my equipment is gathering dust. It was that last glass through the knee and fall downstairs that ended my workouts and I just haven't had any incentive to get back into that kind of shape again.

:cry: Thinks, how to get that dust off and get you fit again :rolleyes:

I live near a wildlife preserve with 7 miles of hiking trials. I plan to hike again this fall. I love that.
Good! Don't forget the water, cell phone, and a walking stick (in case wildlife gets too close for comfort) :smile:

Any possibility of wildlife pics that we can look forward to? :bugeye:
