I hauled my walk behind mower out the shed yesterday late afternoon. It's been at least three years since I used it, but my riding lawn mower is in the shop and the backyard was out of control. Amazingly the mower started right up. A benefit, that I will probably let lapse once I get my other mower back, is it is definitely good exercise. You know, I used to be almost an exercise fanatic, running and going to the gym five days a week; what was supposed to relieve stress became a point of stress. That came to an abrupt stop about 11-12 years ago. I had thought I would be like that till the end, but stuff happens, and all things come to an end.

โ€œI believe that every human has a finite amount of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.โ€ - Neil Armstrong

Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon because he had mastered one exercise: the Sphincter Tighten.

Yes indeed, ladies 'n gents, when Gemini 8 docked with that Agena in March of 66, it immediately got in trouble and started to roll, once a second. Armstrong had his sphincter tightened to the correct torque as a good pilot should - and got that spacecraft back under control.

People remember the moon landing. I remember Gemini 8, too.
