This photo is of a volcano (Volcan Turrialba) in Costa Rica, Central America. I will be leaving tomorrow, Saturday, enroute to Turrialba, Costa Rica.
For one year, from the summer of 2003 until the summer of 2004, I lived in a valley below this volcano. It was not active when I lived there. During my year in Costa Rica, my wife, Rose, our youngest child, Ethan (then 12 years old) and I were in Spanish language school and we lived with a host family, Joaquin and Ana Tortos. In a very real sense, I am going home to our adopted family.
These days they have wi-fi in the home, that was not true in 2003-04. It was all a very slow dial-up and a visit to the internet kiosks.
I'll be checking in. After tomorrow, our co-leader @craigo3154, will post the daily opener. I'll do my best to stay connected.

Happy Friday to everyone! Above is a recent photo of an active volcano in Costa Rica, is called Volcan Turrialba. Saturday morning, my wife, Rose and I, will be flying to there. We will be visiting our former host family, Joaquin and Ana Tortos of Turrialba. We lived with them for one year while we were learning the Spanish language. They only speak Spanish. They adopted us into their extended family. I have not been there in 2 years, so I am very anxious to see everyone. Turrialba has an agricultural based economy supported by sugar cane and coffee.
During my travels, @craigo3154 will be posting the daily opening discussion. I'll check in most days.

Travel safe Rick
@fightingthetideofaging we had 30's yesterday today it's in the teens I am bundling up as I have the 7 to 7 shift in drive thru. I have the drawer side so it feels like you are working in an open window. Thank goodness I am working with someone who doesn't mind the heater on. Lol
Exercise done

@RangerRickL Have a wonderful trip!
@2020pinktogo Stay warm. I’ve worked a drive through, no fun in inclement weather1 -
@RangerrickL - Have a great vacation Rick.
@LouS8725 - I like days like that when you don't have a minute and it's all just go, go go. It's the stopping I have problems with.
@srufus - Great photos, lovely colours.
November 10th
Exercised?: Yes - 5 mile run/walk into town
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
Today has really tested me, had to stay home with Daughter and her friend, helped with GCSE math homework from college as they were struggling, which took up most of the day. Still can't get out with my doggie, so haven't had a walk again today.
Did 5 miles on the treadmill, but feel like I haven't done anything. I miss my runs down the country trails.
Walked into town this evening for a bit of shopping just to get my steps over 10,000 and for some fresh air - I hate it when I can't get out and have too much time on my hands.
Roll on tomorrow, off on a nice long bike ride!
Have a great weekend everyone.....x4 -

Great skipping yesterday and enjoy going "home" @RangerRickL.
Brrrrrrr @2020pinktogo
@trixsey1 sorry you're finding autumn hard. Sounds like you need a SAD lamp?! Wear lots of bright clothes? Good luck xx1 -
@RangerRickL, what a great trip you have planned. Enjoy the extended family and immersing yourself in the culture and language.
As for me, I took my nephews to the airport this morning where they rented a car for the drive home to OR, and since the gym is on the way home I decided I had time to get my workout in. It's a bit of an odd experience going to the gym so much later in the morning..........the parking lot was full, lots of unfamiliar faces and some really high energy vibes going on. I enjoyed it but still think I prefer the quieter gym at 5:30 in the morning....LOL
Exercise: 15 min calisthenics warm-up, 15 min StairMaster, 50 min shoulders and calves
Calories: I've been cooking for 3 days straight and have lots of leftovers in the fridge so that's what's for dinner but yes easily staying under, especially with the nice 400 calorie burn this morning
Tracking: Yes
Have a great weekend everyone!4 -
