Oh Nuduke! "Get to the bottom of it" sounds like hemorrhoids! If you can get the stuff with cocaine, or lidocaine, the vascular constriction provides relief and the symptoms go away. What? Not hemorrhoids!?!
Anyhoo, DF got back a week late for the leaf changing event in the mountain canyon, I couldn't get someone else to do the campout before that and then the weather went bad. Then we began to get at a zillion things, probably the same kind of stuff Nuduke mentioned, holidays, etc. So, no hikes! Did have the traditional Thanksgiving Party for the Sweat Family. We were hanging around clothed in the evening around the fire pit, making wonderful music after the feasting. I got so involved, that I assumed people had left, but when I got around to getting in the sweat, I found that they were all in there. It looked like flesh chickens crowded into two roost, cheek to cheek. Standing room only, singing songs and having a great time.
The weather is going to be great coming this week, so Tuesday we have set aside a naked trip out into a remote desert and after a sweat at a community out that way (I did get out there for a sweat once last month). Then, a couple of days at the hot springs during the weekend. Then, holidays will most likely get attention, but that hasn't completely deterred us before.
I've been into health and exercise. Running in circles on the trail through the yard, building little rustic fences, stacking firewood, setting up the garden drip system, planting. I built a pipe and wood post monkey bars to swing on and all of that activity, daily barefoot all over. The swinging on those bars tells me quite a lot about my health. So, far I have done only one fist out pull-up, but ya gotta start somewhere. I'm feeling pretty darn good. I'll be "getting the hang of it" soon enough.
Hosted five sweats during the month.
