We took the dogs to Blankets Creek today. They love the place. As usual we rode in on the Dwellings Loop then cut out to the lake, which is actually a lake bed these days. The dog can then run free and jump in the water as needed/wanted. Namrita had the camera, she seems very [...]
I seem to be adapting to this weight lifting routine. We have two more weeks of this 4 days-a-week hypertrophy phase. The first two weeks hurt….a lot.

We are heading to MI today to send the holiday with Namrita‘s family and spend a day or two with friends in Grand Rapids. I’ve got to pack, so that’s it for now. Eddie O
