Sooo..... how are the fitness regimes going?
Hmmm, well I have been dog-walking and running (ok, staggering) up and down the stairs to the loo, and emptying and stacking the dish-washer...... I am sure all of this will come in handy for the training...
Interested in hearing your training schedules!!

Anther electronic invention from Medtronic. I wish they would prefect their pacemakers and leads before adding to the list of products they have in their stable. Of course I don't have the illness that could be treated by this device, so my thoughts shouldn't count I guess.
WASHINGTON (AP) Patients suffering from obsessive, distressing thoughts have a new treatment option: a pacemaker-like device that relieves anxiety with electrical jolts to the brain.

Does anyone have or know someone that has a Phrenic Nerve pacemaker? (the phrenic nerve controls your diaphragm, which is the muscle necessary to breathe)
My doc in Atlanta was telling me about it the other day. It doesn't sound like anything I would want. Just curious to see if there's anyone out there. Probably not, but thought I might as well try.

One day a blonde went out to check her mail box. Five minutes later she does this process again ... she does this five different times. The last time she did it her neighbour who was looking at this through the window commented, 'You must have something very important coming .. the way you keep checking your mailbox that way. Then the blond says no I'm working on my computer and it keeps saying that I've got mail.
LOL! For some reason, I thought of you when I read this.......'cause y...

To answer your question - My boat is a 2006 Gekko GTS 20 and I am skiing on the boom. I know the picture isnt the greatest but my wife took it while she was driving - not an easy task.
Have a great week!
