I am no longer bound by contract to participate in the Olympics this summer ....   
I can now devote the majority of my free time to bbq'ing meat and drinking beer ...   
What a relief, as multi-tasking was taking it's toll on me !!!

Great!  I was concerned of what might happen to the mosquitoes after they suck your blood.   

Really going to miss seeing you at Laconia this year.  I hope your able to get into the wind some time this summer on two or three wheels.  We're all pulling for ya buddy!

Bernie may be taking his other ride this year to change things up a bit! 




The picture below is ten years old!  Hard to believe.  At least the pants still fit (barely).

Hard to believe that pic was 10 years ago Tony....WOW, where have those years gone ??
Bernie looks comfortable on that, best he rides what's most comfortable.

I'm seriously not anticipating any riding this season Tony....we'll see.
Yesterday Laurel and I walked a brisk walk for an hour and a half,
on a closed off road in Acadia Park.  This was the first time I did not
need a walking stick to stay upright and not walk with a limp.
You can't imagine how great it feels to regain my balance while standing and walking.
Psychologically, it has done wonders for my outlook on enjoying every day.

I now need to get the muscle and strength back in my left leg...I was 10 years losing it,
can't expect to regain it in a week or two !!

Gonna miss you guys this year.... Have fun and be Safe
