The old treadmill, and other stuff......


I bought this treadmill four years ago. Running on gravel in the winter just became too much and though running indoors gets boring, I have my tv to watch. By nine o'clock in the morning, I've put in 4-5 miles and have all the latest news from CNN, Fox and HLN. When I get too much info, I switch over and watch country videos.
I decided to adjust the tread tension this weekend so pulled out the book on the machine. I come to discover that it stores all the miles and hours I've put on it. Guess I should have read that book before. At any rate, I pushed a bunch of buttons and discovered that I've put 1,756 miles on it. Uffda, that's a lot more than I thought I'd run. It made me so tired I just walked today.....
Some good friends were up this weekend. We walked all over the place and made plans for a couple of new deer stands. I've become so knowledgeable on stand placement that the deer have no chance this fall. Stands will be built this spring before the leaves (and ticks) come out so the deer have time to get used to them. See how smart I am?
Turkey hunting happens in late April and plans have been made for a big fishing weekend up here in early May. Like the deer, the fish will now be in trouble. I've even got my "Sconnie" license numbers for my boat. Hopefully Johnny will let me have my boat back.
I know that winter ain't over yet but you gotta plan and dream. Oh yeah, and then there's that yardwork.....

I had a treadmill once. Moved with me to Eau Claire and back barely used. Was still sitting in the garage when the cable guy, who had just come from a chewing out at his doctor, made me an offer on it. Now you made me wish I hadn't sold it. Couldn't hear the TV over the noise anyway. You must have a nice one. And, hey, dreaming about spring in Wisconsin is common so you are normal.
