Today was very nice out, so I decided to rake up the backyard since I have been wanting to get it cleaned up. I raked 75% of it with a hard rock rake, then I did the entire thing with a soft leaf rake. It came out looking much better; however, I had to stop and take a few breaks, before winter I would not have had a problem doing it without a break. I did not gain any weight over winter, but not being active (hibernating as I call it) has definitely made quite a bit of a difference! I am sure this has happened to all of us though.

Just you wait there young man!! oke: oke:

Yes it has been a long winter and I think we all get a little soft during the winter months, best to do what you did, get out and get at it.

Wake me up when spring arrives, and I'll let you know then what toll winter took on me

Ryan, I could have put you to work digging an electrical trench, if only you would have let me know.

And I would have just used the plow on the '75 1614 PK.

And how...Monday I ran a full skid (seventy) 40# bags of lime out of the back of the truck thru the spreader in the south field. Tuesday the biceps were SCREAMING. Wednesday spent about 12 hours driving back n forth to Ben's in Virginia and today just the regular animals and fence clearing with a few minutes of repair on the Jr Chief. Trip to town for groceries and back to evening chores How in the world did I do ALL this stuff when I was working 10-12 hr days in town??? Gotta be age cause I'm whipped.

Ryan, you haven't seen anything yet :bigrofl:

You have two options for next year. One is a gym membership and the other is 10 cords of bucked wood and a 9# maul. With the first you just wind up sweaty and out some $'s and the other you can keep warm for a couple winters. If I only had room for 10 cord of poles...

10 cords... sounds like just enough for one winter.. I get to cut that in one summer here.. Winters are to cold and the snow is to deep.....

 

[Team_Green]

Just to warn ya Ryan.. It can get to a point of summer jeans and late winter jeans.. :wallbanging:

 

[KennyP]

Hang in there, Ryan. Your strength and stamina will return. Lucky you!

TG, I've been doing that for years!
