I have just day hiked places close by - there are several trail heads that are less than 30 miles from here - I was working on extending my range when I came down with rheumatoid arthritis in 1998 and have never got back in shape from that, but have started trying again. The hard part is going up hill. I have got my range back to maybe three miles on flat land but that doesn't help on the hills. My range used to be about 10 miles, again on flat land, but I am carrying about 50 pounds more than I did then.

>>Advice for Yankees Moving South Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it. If you forget a Southerner's name, refer to him (or her) as "Bubba." You have a 75% chance of being right. Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean we can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store. Do not buy food at the movie store. If it can't be fried in bacon grease, it ain't worth cooking, let alone eating. Remember: "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is plural possessive. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?" Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you either. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper. Be advised: The "He needed killin'" defense is valid here. If attending a funeral in the South, remember, we stay until the last shovel of dirt is thrown on and the tent is torn down. If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" stay out of his way. These are likely the last words he will ever say. Most Southerners do not use turn signals, and they ignore those who do. In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a Southern license plate, you may rest assured that it was on when the car was purchased. Northerners can be identified by the spit on the inside of their car's windshield that comes from yelling at other drivers. Satellite dishes are very popular in the South. When you purchase one it is to be positioned directly in front of your trailer. This is logical bearing in mind that the dish cost considerably more than the trailer and should, therefore, be displayed. Tornadoes and Southerners going through a divorce have a lot in common. In either case, you know someone is going to lose a trailer. Florida is not considered a Southern State. There are far more Yankees than Southerners living there. If you are cursing the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone, directly in the middle of the road, remember, many folks learned to drive on a model of vehicle known as John Deere, and this is the proper speed and lane position for the vehicle.<< pioneernet.net
