    Yeah, Alexa got me with that one. I'm from the REAL upstate NY, an hour and a half , if that from the Canadian border and in the mountains. People hear NY and they think downstate where they freak out with 6 inches of snow and actually warn about ABOVE ZERO "wind chills"
    We're a different world from that.

    Yup, along with all that activity . A few years back I got the bright idea that cold water swimming in the fall would "melt calories away" LOL . I'd swim, not dunk but swim for 5 or more minutes into November and into water temps sometimes in the 40's. I did so safely and it was invigorating . Other than that though all it did was make me a little cold ( sometimes I'd hang around wet at the lake for quite a while to enhance the effect ) and make me a LOT hungry. I mean damn! Hungry. LOL

    Perhaps cross-country skiing would be a better bet for losing weight.

    Thanks. I did that but preferred Show Shoeing. But sadly, those days are gone for me now. I haven't even been able to run/jog in about 5 years. I shovel and I should walk daily, but I don't. Most of my hobbies/ passions are behind me. But I can golf. Just not very well anymore. LOL

    I lost 180 lbs of ugly fat cross-country skiing.

    Unfortunately, the ski patrol found him.

    Sometimes having a dog gives you a reason to take a walk.

    We were just offered a free registered Chocolate Lab puppy as my daughter and son in law had their lab bred by my nephew's and she had 13 pups which all lived . They have them all spoken for now but we could of had one . The thing is we feel it would tie us down. Our last dog died about 7 years ago around the time we were empty nesting. It was tempting though.
