Not so fast Bud!

That indistinguishable rectangle to the right of the garden box is the other garden bed ... 

that's where the sweet potatoes are residing.

Yesterday, 3 grandchildren came to visit ... and the two boys decided they needed to go bicycle riding with grandpa.  We rode the back streets down to the gas station convenience store (1/2 mile) ... back past the cemetery ... back to the Assembly of God church where we made several laps of the parking lot ... finally back to the house.  At which point, on grandson dropped out and the other insisted on doing it again ... only this time with a bit more challenge ... so we added in a little bit of hill.

Today Gpa is walking really slowly ... the left knee is saying, "Oh, you really had to do that, didn't you!?" ... the hamstring still has major tender areas ... 

Instead of me hurrying the wife along thru WalMart parking lot ... she was hooking her arm thru mine and trying to hurry me along ... the body was going, "Hey!  Not so fast Bud!"  Even getting out of the car is a 3-part exercise: turn and get the feet on the ground ... rest ... rock and tilt forward with hands on knees until off seat and "standing" on the ground ... gradually push upward until fully standing ... grab car door ... move out of way and close car door.

Maybe that was more than 3 steps??  It's taking more than 3 steps to get there today ...

and we aren't even talking about the left shoulder ...
