I did not trap this past year due to the suggestion of my cardiologist. Today my wife, my daughter and I mucked the stable. We do it by hand, we shovel the old sawdust on wheelbarrows, dump the wheelbarrows and put fresh sawdust in by hand. I will be 75 in a month and a half. I managed to help with the mucking and did not experience any chest pains what so ever. This fall I think I will be back on the trap line.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Good job Nittany, is there any water weeping in through the concrete?
So what made the hole in the door?

Great to hear, remember do not try and eat an elephant in one sitting. Great to hear you will be laying some steel this fall.

Much better to be active than inactive.No need to overdo it.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Well if i'd known that Ninny i'd have sent computerhater over there to carry you around on his back set to set & get you out mink trapping . He'd probably even carried the blue buckets & skinned mink.

Get back in shape , see you in Clearfield .
