Hello again, my family and friends! Now that I'm 57 and am trying not to obsess about the fact that this was the age my Dad died of his last heart attack - I am motivated to increase my activity and exercise to stem the effects of age, my diabetes and the extremely painful peripheral neuropathy in my feet. Walking has become extremely painful without proper inserts in my shoes and owing the fact that after a normal 12 hour day covering several miles of walking in and out of my factories and customer meetings; I cannot walk any distance without creating some serious damage to the feet - so Willy and I have taken up biking.So don't laugh or judge - you young whippersnappers! Some day you will get old...
Anyway, we are averaging over 4 miles per day in roughly 30 minutes and loving every minute of it. So I will be doing some postings just to keep updating our daily results and observations of our touring. One of funniest so far in all the neighborhoods we've visited is the whole "Man Cave" experience with huge big screen LED TV's in garages, along with neon lighting and assorted strange accouterments like Amish dressed blow up dolls. Remember we live in Amish country here in Northern Indiana. Ha! That last comment is just a tribute to the humorous string of comments from brother John, friend Sandi and son, Luke regarding the Man Caves! You may not think it funny - we did. I will have to post it later. Health and prosperity to you all!

Way to go Dennis ! Fight Authority at all costs, blog away and ride that bike staring into peoples garages ! I am jealous of your "go to" attitude as the only thing I do as a routine is ride my recliner for zero miles, but I do it around 10 hours a day. Keep us posted !
Thank you Miss Sandi! We always appreciate the contact with you so much younglings. And I should also thank my endocrinologist, Dr. Knight, who introduced me to Lyrica - a modern wonder drug that helps moderate the pain in the feet and the @$$!
Not to be pushy or anything but that is like 20 days old? did you fall off your bike and forget you were going to write again? if so, neosporin and ace bandage yourself up and get back here, it's getting dusty.
