challenge</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Well, it's new for me anyway! I've been having some trouble
with my knees for years and this summer <BR>one hip was acting up. I
finally made that appointment with the doctor to find out I've got arthritis
<BR>in both knees and hips - more so than is normally seen in a young guy ;-)
like me.<BR><BR>On to physical therapy and diet and swimming and biking and
supplements...<BR><BR>I weighed my tuning kit and it came in just around 20
pounds. I spread everything out on the <BR>ping pong table and took a
good hard look at what was in there. I've got it down to about 8
pounds<BR>in a smaller bag now with much of the less-used stuff left in the
car.<BR><BR>Getting old(er) sure isn't for sissies!!<BR><BR>Ron
