Tires a deep subject, best for a different thread, But the 80 PSI snows I bought match the load rating of the 4, more like NO, season VANCOs that came stock on the van. Steep driveway, steep hill, wife pulls trailer into muddy fields.
Gary made me realize that, although we have similarities, we are all different. Some of us have active, physical lifestyles, dictated by our environment, while others may have physical issues which limit their ability to do so. Once again, I appreciate the input especially as I don't want to give anyone bad advice. Being on either end of this spectrum could cause cause someone not to benefit from this routine and could cause it to be detrimental. There are tailored exercise routines all over the web. You should consult your doctor if you haven't picked up a bar bell in years. My brother was working out, one day and my Dad approached him to ask if he could try to press 65 lbs. He did it, but then had a heart attack. My dad probably hadn't lifted weights in over 30 years. He was 56. That is not a good weight to start with. And, if it's mud season with a foggy drizzle on a foot and a half of mushy snow, a little exercise may help you get through it. It's better to exercise with someone. I exercise with my wife and we encourage each other to do so. It's best that the amount of weight and reps are decided by you.
Thanks, Gary, I was surprised to see the tires on my new van, also have an 80 psi rating and when I told my friend out in Wisconson who has a bunch of vehicles and trailers and, as a crane operator also drives those giant pit mine dumps, he said to keep them at 65 psi because it's a 2500 series and I never carry weight. I notices the damn thing sways on the highway. Maybe this belongs on an oil thread...
The easy part is bending over. The hard part is getting back up!It's a losing war of attrition but it don't stop me.

This morning's cardio.
Yesterday's exercise was ten snow tires, rims exchanged.(van only gets rears)
While I have nothing against "exercise" I prefer to combine it with useful work accomplished when possible. Brushed out about a half mile of trail with hand sickles and loppers this last week, now ready for cross country season.
Heat with wood, each log warms me at least four times, LOL
My main work benches and power tools have stands to match my 6'3"
Yard tools have or are changed to longer handles.
I mainly work from the MC lift table.
All to reduce stooping.
I talked to the truck specialist at the dealer. He said this 2500 Chevy Express will ride better with weight. The only reason I bought it was I didn't like the front wheel drive Dodge Ram and the Ford Transit didn't have many options and was a little pricey, for what you would get. My last one was a 1500 GMC Savana, but, they stopped making them 2 yrs ago. At one point you could get them with AWD.
Lol, Well , I guess...Salud!
"An apple a day will keep the doctor away" might not be too far from the truth. Eating a whole apple in the morning at breakfast will give your regularity a "push".
Blue Bonnet looks like it has a lot of ingredients I was given by my integrative medicine doctor to replenish nutrients I lost during a bout with ulcerative colitis, which I lost 20 lbs. It sounds like a healthy way to go. But if you also take a multi vitamin, one problem lies in over abundance of vitamin C. The upper level of acceptable mount is 2000 mg. Side affects are diarrhea and nausea. Carotenoids are good for your eyesight, protecting your eyes from damaging effects of blue light (computer screens?)and help prevent macular degeneration later in life. As an aside, during WW II, the Americans developed Radar and were taking out many more Japanese Zeros, and to keep the Japanese from suspecting a new technology the defense department disseminated false info through the media explaining their success was that American pilots were put on a diet that included a high amount of carrots, which greatly improved their eyesight.
I'm with you. When I was 11, I had a terrible disfiguring wart on my left index finger, which would bleed, and get fleshy and tender after taking a shower. Noone ever told me to do this, but I just started putting mercurichrome on it and in two weeks, it dried up and came off like a scab. It was there for 2 years and had deep, painful roots.

Thank you, Peanut, I'm wrong about that, but the Americans used radar against Japanese fighter planes and that was my point. You have to give credit where it's due. The Brits also developed Cat Scan and MRI. They also conquered America for us from the Spanish, Dutch and French. Thank you again!errrrr excuse me ... the Americans didn't develop Radar any more than they captured the Enigna machine from U110 & U559 .
.the British invented RDF /Radar and gave it to you Yanks
Great film though eh !
2M, I'm truly flattered that you think I have the ability to answer your questions. Unfortunately, I'm unable to do that. But this much I can tell you; Rapid heart rate or tachycardia is a problem for a cardiologist. The sinal atrial node is a nerve bundle in the heart which governs heart rate and can sometimes function to the detriment of the body. There is a procedure called sinal atrial nerve ablation, done under fluoro, where-by a catheter is inserted through the brachial, or femoral artery and a probe is made to contact the sinal atrial node, and a small amount of heat is applied to deaden part of this nerve bundle to lessen it's affect on the heart rate. Remember, you need only a body temp of 108 for concerns of brain damage. My friend, Tom had it done. the first time was not successful, but the second time was. The rapid heart rate is not a good thing to have, and must be dealt with as it churns the blood, and could lead to a stroke. But it is up to a cardiologist to decide what treatment is best, and may involve meds, instead. As for the sleep disorder, that can be treated by doctors in the hospital sleep lab which treats sleep/ wake disorders and while there you are put on monitors. And the cardiologist and sleep doctor may send you home with monitors. Also, a good reference place, which I had to contact about a new med my doctor wants me to take, is the local hospital librarian, who emailed me more than enough info that I needed, but, in order to get them to do so, you may have to" "drop" a doctor or nurse's name as your referral. When I first interacted with all of you, I mentioned I had a bad head cold, which turned into a worse upper respiratory infection, which exacerbated an acute case of colitis, which my doctor may have to put me on infusion therapy for. I lost 22 lbs this month. I was concerned it was the "Adeno Virus". An 18 yr old girl with Crohns Disease died of that, today in New Jersey. Crohn Is inflamation of the small intestines, as opposed to colitis, which affects the large intestines. This is my fifth bout of colitis, since my late 20's. And, I've been hospitalized twice , once in September, and once at the end of October. But talking with all of you is good therapy for me and just this week, I'm beginning to feel somewhat human, again, as my body is beginning to respond to treatment.
