Thanks Sig, I have a nurse that comes for 1 HR 2x a week and a physical therapist for 2 hours 2x a week.
Exercises that you would normally call them everyday walking are now a chore to do 10 repetitions of. Getting out of a chair, small squats, moving side to side, etc...
I did not realize how weak i got from this.
I mean look at my picture. That is a picture of a perfect strong human.
Handsome, strong, now look where it got me.

Mark, I haven't shot it enough to run into any problems yet but it has been plenty chilly each time I shot. Max shots at one sitting was 24 shots. Too damn hard for my skinny ass to pump it up.

Dave Gettman - My air rifle doesn't function well for long in that weather before i get a condensation ice block in the valve. BUT - on a sunny day it usually melts quick enough.The SIG MCX is what I use and screw on canisters. 92g but I have to rest it in cold weather for a consistent shot spread,.

Yeah, I've got a pretty good coat of frost this morning. Wanted to go out in the back and shoot my pellet gun, but too damn cold. Maybe later this afternoon.
Bought a $700 compressor to pump my gun up with and it doesn't work. Looking forward to a major headache trying to get that straightened out.

Nice view, Sig. For a quick moment I thought it was my back yard. Well, except for the mountains and palm trees. But alas, it ain't Joisey.

Lookin' good, Sig. Is that ice on the pond?
