That is why I try and hike the hills three times a week, even when there is nothing to hunt.larry szurgothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930464653423028078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383589609323438103.post-7398193255372109582010-02-22T21:30:16.084-08:002010-02-22T21:30:16.084-08:00Interesting comments.

That is until I injured my ankle last summer playing racquetball, and needed surgery the next day. I missed the first half of the season, but by mid-December I was back in the hills. I realize now that conditioning and flexibility are even more important as I continue my recovery. I too hope to be able to chase these birds until I'm pretty old!Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204838664179187521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383589609323438103.post-79341335682040162452010-01-23T16:54:20.328-08:002010-01-23T16:54:20.328-08:00Mike,

I think so many of us get old because we start acting old. We sit around and watch the kids play instead of participate. Stay active and I feel we will live a longer life. If not, at least the life we live will be a lot more excitinglarry szurgothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930464653423028078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383589609323438103.post-5095832535629264462010-01-23T08:54:28.294-08:002010-01-23T08:54:28.294-08:00Larry:

When I went in for arthroscopic surgery on my left knee about 15 years ago the doctor told me that I didn't have an ACL. I know exactly when i tore it, playing basketball about 40 yrs ago when i was 17. Anyway, he said the leg was heavily muscled and i had made it that far so he recommended against reconstruction surgery. He said some people can play NFL football without an ACL and others cannot get up off the couch to put a piece of toast in the toaster. I have continued with my 40 year rehab program and have been pain free in both knees for the last 6-8 years or so. Hips are becoming more of an issue, however, and so it goes.<br />Best Regards, Mike..fj790https://www.blogger.com/profile/11352561611975423789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383589609323438103.post-24607409825801986232010-01-19T16:34:39.927-08:002010-01-19T16:34:39.927-08:00Larry:

I don'y need a reason but now I have a good answer for those who ask why I go so much.larry szurgothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930464653423028078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383589609323438103.post-1994671902358339472010-01-19T13:35:47.898-08:002010-01-19T13:35:47.898-08:00Chukar certainly does, and is one of the best in t...Chukar certainly does, and is one of the best in the poultry group. I've been eating chukar or grouse 2-3 times a week this season. I usually cook Chinese or Thai food with chukar and add lots of vegetables.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482388763514761247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383589609323438103.post-22730143988739563642010-01-19T12:59:00.763-08:002010-01-19T12:59:00.763-08:00Thanks Anthony.

Barb's trying to wean me off this stuff but hearing success from a fellow chukar hunter helps. Please tell me chukar falls into the poutry group.

Now 4 years later I off all drugs with low cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure. The hard part is getting away from all the foods you have eaten for so many years and that takes time. Eliminate all meat from mammals and all by products, including milk and butter. For meat eat poultry and seafood only. Avoid partially hydrogenated fats, and refined carbohydrates in bakery products, pastas, and sugar-added foods. Just make sure everything you eat is whole grain and go heavy on the vegetable, nuts, berries fruits, beans. You may feel like a rabbit, but believe me it works.<br /><br />http://drmirkin.com/public/ezine122709.html<br /><br />http://drmirkin.blogspot.com/2009/04/why-meat-from-mammals-is-risky.htmlAnthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482388763514761247noreply@blogger.com
