Sorry to laugh, Jack, but I've only been on one of those once.  Thought I'd 
never walk again.  It does take practice.....it also takes coordination, 
which I don't always have.  Give me a nice soft pool of water and I am fine.

Good for you Jack.   I hope the use of the machine does not stress any of 
your tender spots.   Your heart will thank you.

Did you give up the activites you formely described in the NG in which you 
told us all how you jog naked in your front yard about the time the female 
postal carrier hits your street?

You're stretching the truth.  Yes, there's a jogging oval on my
property that I used every day.  But the property is isolated, with
the nearest neighbor 1/2 mile mile away (East, South and West) and the
nearest neighbor to the north is blocked by three rows of evergreen
trees.

Yes, the mail lady caught me jogging au naturel on one occasion, as
did a carload of Jehovah's Witnesses ... who have never returned.

LOL!  neither have i, but i'm sure i'd scare half my city's populace away 
while trying it out.

Stretching the truth?  I think not.  I am simply quoting you on your own 
posting here in which you described this nude jogging behavior as a regular 
activity which you yourself stated you found quite enjoyable.

Perhaps you should hook up with GNB aka BT aka Fukar and now RaverFan and go 
for a run.
