I hiked 50 miles up the Kings river from the upper end of Pine Flats Reservoir in CA. I lived on the river below the lake. But my best memories of my time in CA were just hiking the hills near my home. A typical hike was a thousand ft up and back down the other side. I saw all kinds of wildlife. Nearly run over by wild pigs. Jumped fox, bobcat, turkey, bear, and deer all over the place.

I have! Took a wrong step, twisted my ankle. Long limp home
Oh Lois, sorry !
I have given up hikes and my bicycle. Joints are too vulnerable to damage. For exercise now, I swim and use the elliptical machine.

I ran for years until i started having issues with my knees to the point i could not run if i tried. I then switched back to the bike. About 3 years ago i added weight lifting to the mix… and that really made a difference… my wife has been lifting for 8 years and she still runs a few times a week. No steroids or anything like that, but i do take protein supplements (whey/etc). I enjoy lifting weights and i don’t see myself as a lanklet anymore 
(4chan lingo).
Clouds rain and 68F now… Heavy rain once again missed this area…ended up with under quarter inch…some areas to the north i saw got up to 4 inches (Augusta, wi). Should see heat index back above 100F by Sat so this is all just a nice short cool break.

Is that some kind of Texas grass?
Texans and people from arizona are famous for their brown summer lawns and lush green winter lawns… You gotta go there in december they are incredibly proud of their grass then.

I would take that about now.
Just disgusting out here tonite…like Miami but without the beaches. Took a bike ride with my wife and after about 3 miles we were done. Cold front is suppose to move thru soon so moisture must be pooling along the front. Cooler tomorrow.
I had a tree break this morning with a storm that moved thru (almost no rain)…just 50mph winds.
