I spent all day yesterday with a pole saw, a chainsaw and a big tree chippper. We cleared a veritable jungle along and over a road, allowing the plow trucks to clear it this winter  without knocking a mirror off or hitting overhead.  No wonder why at 62 I still look 40.  That's why I took this job. Hated managing millennials. Hated paperwork. Hated being stuck in an office half the day. And I like to get paid to work out. Great "retirement" gig. LOL

Is it really a garage if there aren't dents and cracks in the wall?

Update:  I took a 13 mile bike ride this evening;  it would have been longer but I started late and a trail I like closes at sundown.

there is nothing like riding off into the sunset on a bike

This morning, biked 30 miles, including up yet another "I haven't successfully climbed this one before" hills.

This afternoon (after work, before after-work plans) I was going to do some lifting, but ran short on time and did 'only' bench press (plan was squats, I had to skip one of the two due to time, figured biking was more similar to squats... this might or might not have been the right decision).  Did 3x5x135 lbs, tying a personal best from an era where I was at the gym every other day for eight months.  So that's pretty cool.  :-)

Motion is Lotion 

Did a new one yesterday. I did all my stretching in the whirlpool. It was great ! I am going to continue that. The hot water keeps the muscles nice and lose. I can bike over to the Y, do the stretches, swim my laps, and play water basketball

About my only workout anymore is to ride my bicycle 4-7 times a week, anywhere from 10-25 miles per event.  With 2 replaced knees, a fused neck, fused toe, and other maladies of a senior, golf and biking are about my only 2 exercises anymore.

My mother was a physical therapist who specialized in pool therapy. It is very effective, especially the warm pool. I went there after I had shoulder surgery to help loosen the area to get my flexibility back.

Yesterday's exercising:  about 7 miles of walking (half of that to/from grocery store in morning, other half as an evening wind-down).  Mid-afternoon I moved an older TV into the garage so I could watch the Rattlers game while working out.  I've never done barbell to football before, but I did 3x8x80 press, 8x185 deadlift, then 2x and 6x 205.  I don't know why I stopped after two on that one;  I might up the weight slightly next deadlift session.

Nothing like adding exercise to chores. It brings us back to the hunter-gatherer days when we did not call it exercise we called it survival.  Lifting weights while watching football sounds like a good way of relieving aggression as long as you don't get the urge to throw the weight at the TV

Short 11.5 miles on the bicycle this morning.  Cool morning, but the smoke wasn't as bad as it has been.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
