Ha! Not familiar but!

I have this huge monster of a treadmill machine in my garage. It was a gift to my FIL in like 1988ish…? Dude, this thing has enough torque to pull a train! I was just talking about that earlier!

Difference between the one my wife was using is the monster has handles with sensors that kill the belt in a second…..little one does not.

One side of the debate was that, if a treadmill got going fast enough under a plane, the effective speed would create lift. Emulating runway speeds would get the plane off the ground.

The other side of the debate was reality based.

I've been told many times that way more people die out running each year than they do sitting on a bar stool.

Hope she gets well quickly.

Next time, why don't you help carry the machine into the house?

Treadmills are great if you hate seeing different things when you run.

Why would you run in the first place? Chased by a bear?

Holy shit! A woman’s work is never done, shits true!

All this GD laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning, food shopping, dusting, vacuuming, hasn’t left me with enough time to drink a beer! Or entertain you mugs……

No kidding! I need a second broad around here!!!

Wifie, got 8 weeks or until further notice off from work! Woooohoooo for her, bad, very bad for me! The fracture is not horrible but has to be treated a such. Her accumulation of sick days and personal days are plenty sufficient.

Hell best thing for us right now is to pick up and travel somewhere and chill!!

Rickles is off jet setting again! Hell yeah
