Something Different

Every year winter comes, and many of us tend to get a bit flabby. Then we have to bust our hump trying to look good in the spring.

There is an alternative to this cycle, and keep healthy and fit throughout the winter. Unfortunately for me, my COPD no longer allows me the pleasure of working out on my Bowflex Xtreme2 Complete Home Gym. Haven't been able to use it much since I got it. My loss is your gain - maybe someone out there in car buff land would like the opportunity to get this excellent piece of fitness equipment. This is what it looks like...

Ladies, don't let hubby get fat over the winter - a great Christmas gift for the man who has (almost) everything.

It has a small footprint of only 4' x 5' - fits almost anywhere. The Bowflex Xtreme 2 sells $1,599 new. Used ones go for $1,139 at Overstock.com. You can have this one for $800 or will consider partial or full trade for guns.

Getting older does not have to mean you cannot get better!

The Bowflex Xtreme 2 features a two-position lat tower and a longer squat frame to let you perform over 75 exercises. Features include:

  • Lat tower features two adjustable positions with angled lat bar to build back and shoulder muscles quickly

  • Four position-adjustable lower pulleys with longer squat station to build your glutes, hamstrings, and quads

  • Leg extension attachment to develop strong, muscular legs

  • No cable changes needed between exercises and stations

  • Commercial gym-style upright design

  • Adjustable, quick-release seat with polyurethane cushion

  • Contoured, extra wide seat back for added stability and support during Lat exercises

  • Reinforced X-shaped base for maximum stability

  • Compact size for smaller workout spaces

  • Triple function hand-grip/ankle cuffs

Garage Party

Today we were pleased to attend the annual garage party hosted by the Wild Albanian (Bill Grabizis). Or maybe he's Greek - what's the dif?

Anyway, everyone seemed to have a good time. For many it would be the last time we would see each other until next season, but I'm sure several will get together here and there over the long winter months.

After stuffin' our faces a horde of cash was given away in a raffle. Can anyone guess who the winners were? C'mon, give it a try. Would you believe Al Lappin won twice? And Tom Watson, of course. Who else? Gavin also won twice, as did Gribizis' mom-in-law, who was tickled pink.

A nice day. Good people. Good food. Good fun. What more could anyone ask?

Thank you Bill & Rudina for being such hospitable hosts and for sharing. Much appreciated.

Oh, and Polly, I will be sending you the pix of you in the rail first thing in the morning :o)
