True but your not exactly an Irish red head either. 😃

OK. I guess the memory was off.

Was that the bike you bought on the east coast (from someone here?) and rode it home?

That's African American buddy. 😉

Both are great but the top one looks super handy.

What are the advantages of the hydraulic?

The wife wasn't home? 😀

The very first thing to check is the battery. Yes, they can die even on a trickle charger, it just happened to me about three weeks ago on my SUV that doesn't get driven much. If you don't have a way to check it, take the battery to any auto parts place (NAPA, Advanced Auto, etc.) and ask them to check it for you. They will do it for free. Let us know what you find.

Not reading but real life experience. Do you think you could bench press the same amount of weight now as when you were much heavier? I never stopped lifting as I lost weight but my bench press went down and believe me, meat was not the thing I cut out but carbs. There is a reason there are weight classes in weight lifting. Scott mentioned he is stronger now after loosing weight but if he had worked out then like he does now, he would have been able to lift more before. In no way do I think it is better to be heavier just to be stronger and even more so as you age but just stating the facts for me. The reason I lost weight to begin with is because my hip was bothering me so much I could barely walk around a store. After weight loss that all went away.

The muscle loss was the part that caught my attention and thought I would run it by you. I know just losing weight alone makes you weaker. I lost 65 lbs. in 2008 and have been lifting weights since junior high, the weight loss does affect muscle strength and it seems even worse as you age. So, I just wondered about this product.

Great job! It takes a lot of commitment to do what you did and are doing.

I would have to agree that your super clean life style has a lot to do with your success and would think that the vast majority of users wouldn't do that.

Was reading this on a site targeted for people over 50. They talked about the pros of using these drugs but here are some of the negatives they talked about. Muscle Loss Is a Big Deal: These meds can help you shed pounds—about 19 pounds with Ozempic, 27 with Wegovy, or 45 with Mounjaro in a year. But here’s the kicker: 40% of that weight loss is muscle, including heart muscle. For us, losing muscle means a higher risk of falls, frailty, and even weaker bones. Dr. Rob says muscle is “the currency of longevity,” and I couldn’t agree more—keeping strong is key to staying active and independent. Side Effects Can Be Rough: Over 70% of people on these drugs deal with nausea, vomiting, or other tummy troubles. That’s why 50% quit within three months and 70% within a year. Only 23% feel fine, and many report feeling wiped out, which is the last thing we need when we’re trying to keep up with grandkids or hit the hiking trail. Weight Rebound: The weight loss stops after the first year, and if you quit, you often gain it back unless you’ve got a solid lifestyle plan. Dr. Rob’s perspective is about setting you up for success, not just a quick fix. These meds absolutely have their place, but they’re not a magic wand. Let’s talk about how we can boost GLP-1 naturally and feel amazing without the downsides. Link

Samuel Jackson?

Well, did you?
