Hell Ted . . . you're a youngster! I've picked up some pounds I don't need since I had my ankle operated on last winter. Used to control weight by running from about March until the start of hunting season. Even got medals in road races. (My wife called them "appearance awards", and she was pretty much right. In the small local 5K's I ran, often maybe only 1 other runner in my age group.) I miss that, and depending on how a lot of walking on my foot works out--so far have done quite a bit chasing grouse, woodcock, and now pheasants--I may ask the foot doc if it's a good idea.
Likely an operation after the season's over for a cataract in my R eye. Shooting sporting clays or 5 stand, some targets just flat disappear on me. But doing OK on live birds so far.
