Brisk dog walk with R&S

Hike down to Cherry Brook Farm along the old road and back up through the farm up the steep hill, with R & S and Kissy and Swampfox. A beautiful fall day, and the culmination of a very enjoyable visit from K&SF and Kissy's son Graham, a very fine young man himself. SF and I were struggling mightily to keep up with those speedy girls, and they had to wait for us a few times to make sure we could make it home.

Graham has been very helpful in ministering to Sassy, who is collecting ticks at an unprecedented rate the last week or so, as have we. AOWN is getting out of hand around here. I think we may have pulled 100 off Sassy on Sunday and Monday, and quite a few off ourselves. Two or three weeks ago there weren't any around at all.

Not too spunky today, but thought I would get my hand in. Workout today was lunges and toes to the bar, but no lunges for me with my sore knee, so squats instead, and not too much toes to the bar because I would pay for it later, so the first dozen or so toes to the bar, and then just knees to chest. Followed by push press workout. First time trying a barbell, and just 60 lbs, but it went ok.
