   Ha.  I love doing it and the only real problem now is the pain   
   associated with it...knees and hip.  The big difference between the hike   
   2 days ago and today's was that the wife was with today.  So quiet and   
   peaceful Tuesday....noisy today.  Love her so much, but man can that   
   woman go on and on, and on, and on............
