I like pulleys.



We bought a Weider X-Factor Plus.  It's an exercise machine with bungees and pulleys.  I like it.  I have been exercising three mornings a week (maybe 5 mornings soon) and I really like the pulleys.  Very smooth and comfortable feeling.  Not like standard weight machines.  I don't like all of the clanking associated with most weight machines.  It fits neatly in the corner of a room.

If you read about it on-line you'll see some complaints about assembling it.  I had a problem with the three steel bars that support the base pad.  They were too long.  I took my grinder to shorten them a bit and then the rest of it went together just fine.  I like the pulleys.

Scrooge

Carol and I watched the Alistair Sims version of "A Christmas Carol" last week.  We love the scenes from the morning after.  I like it when he says "I don't deserver to be this happy!".  Then laughs out loud.  We don't deserve God's good gifts and our salvation but he blesses us anyway. 

A happy, prosperous and joyous new year to you!

Troop 720 Houseboat Trip

In June of 2010 Troop 720 sponsored a houseboat trip on the St. Johns River in Central Florida for the older Scouts.  We were on the river for a week in the houseboat that you see above.  We travelled about 120 miles on the river over seven days.  We visited Blue and Silver Glen Springs.  Ate a bunch of great food.  Goofed around in the water.  Wet a few lines and generally goofed off for a week.  We safely returned the boat and crew to Holly Bluff Marina on Thursday, July 1, 2010.  All in all, a great trip!

Who's chair is that?

That's my chair. So what!

Publix does it again!

"Where shopping is a pleasure."
Yesterday I went looking for "Extra Strength Tylenol".  This is what the doctor told Carol to take for her foot after surgery.  No Advil or Aspirin.

So I went to the CVS in Port St. John.  No Tylenol anywhere on the shelf.  None.  Hmmmmm.

Then I went to the CVS in Cocoa.  Again, no Tylenol anywhere.  Very odd.

They were both on the right side of the road and very easy to run in and run out of.

Mistake.  Should have started at Publix in the beginning.

So I drove across the street to Publix.  Walked up to the pain medicine area and sure enough, there was a very nice, typed and printed sign saying a recall on Tylenol had depleted stocks.  Well that was really helpful to know.  I asked the very nice lady behind the counter what would be the best generic to use in this case.  She kindly came out from behind the counter and showed me all of the equivalent Publix brand versions.  I walked up front to checkout.  There were six checkout lanes working and no more than two people in each line.  Once more, shopping was a real pleasure.  I love this place!
