Hiya, Sprite! How are ya?!
1:30 am
sprite
*hugs Kam* Incredibly busy, but okay. How are you and your beloved doing?
1:30 am
Kamanjah
Busy too! It's a good thing to be busy, but it does get tiring sometimes :)
1:31 am
sprite
very true. How is your beloved feeling?
1:32 am
Kamanjah
Stronger every day. Still another week or two, I think, but he's pretty back to normal.
1:32 am
sprite
wow, that is such good news!
1:33 am
Kamanjah
He made three arrows and went to his friend's place to shoot them yesterday to see if they flew straight. They did, but his arm is still a bit weak. More archery will fix that!
1:34 am
sprite
that is a great hobby. And quite a bit of skills, to make them truly straight.
1:35 am
Kamanjah
He is an artisan. I need to get some photos of his process. When I do, I'll send you a look.
1:35 am
sprite
please do.
1:36 am
Kamanjah
He was pulling 40# after not shooting for a year or so. I pull 20 - 25#
1:37 am
Kamanjah
I don't think I could even pull the 20# now, it's been a couple of years. And I think long bows stack weight!
1:38 am
sprite
my love and I did a bit of archery for a while. I remember very well the sore breast muscles!
1:40 am
Kamanjah
I'm double jointed, so I really have to watch my elbow and not let it bend inward - ouch! I learned to bow my arm way back when I was in junior high! His grandson is learning now too.
1:41 am
sprite
same here. Also hypermobile, as is my daughter. Not easy to do any sport, actually, without risking injuries.
1:42 am
Kamanjah
I know! It's hard to not over-flex those joints. Body mechanics...ugh. Have to constantly pay attention if I'm shooting.
1:43 am
sprite
or riding a bike... or reaching to grab something from the highest shelf... etc :D
1:43 am
Kamanjah
Yeah, all the etc, lol!
1:50 am

Last night my Neighbors had a large very Noisy party starting in thee afternoon -- lots of loud (bad) music and shouting. lt surprises me that people in their 20's would be so noisey
3:54 am
rubyfoo
(sorry for typos)
3:54 am
zoozzoom
I do not get wy people can not close their front or back door with the turn of the handle instad of just whacking the door closed without turning the handle at all. It makes me jump everytime!
3:55 am

I hope that is not on a regular basis for you, Ruby. one off is not too bad.
3:55 am
zoozzoom
Ha I have many typos too so do not worry about it.
3:55 am
rubyfoo

3:57 am
rubyfoo
lt's 3 sisters in their 20's and when their mother is away, they give these huge pool parties. You'd think they'd be settling down............
3:58 am
zoozzoom
Must admit, Ruby I think I was still a bit noisey at that age.
3:59 am
rubyfoo
Not me, l was very quiet and had been a faculty wife since l was 19!
3:59 am
zoozzoom
I am making up for it now though. Love my peace and quiet.
4:00 am
rubyfoo
l didn't cut loose 'il l was 30, but was never noisy
4:02 am
rubyfoo
