"Balls to the wall"

I learned this while walking a wedding venue of all places… A whole other story. Reference to a mechanical governor, used in steam engines, which has these spinning weighted steel balls. The spinning balls adjust a valve to control the amount of steam flow. When extended to the "balls out" position means maximum speed or output.

That's what mine look like...if that brace between them is my knees

Chain saw and log hauling today. Not as much exercise this winter as I would like, nor as much stamina, but it felt good to get my heart rate up 70 bpm beyond my resting rate (45).

At my age, missing a day or two feels like starting over 😳

Bro, you're still young though.

Yea but that prison block can cramp your style

Not to mention Uranus.

Last time I went to the gym was in June on my cruise in the Bahamas. I came home started my second job and couldn’t force myself to get up early enough to go. I think I’ll be quitting said job soon though(as long as no more surprises) and getting back to my routine before too long.

If you newerish folks are wondering why everyone calls me W and Monty, allow me to clear up the confusion, my full name is Montehugh Wellingsforth. Also, I reside at Pelican Bay, cell block D. At least that’s where @peter4jc sends my coffee.

• I'm in pretty good shape for a man of 101. This thread really has me thinking, maybe it wouldn't be bad to look down and see see what my toes look like again. If nothing else I wouldn't have to worry about falling asleep on a nice summer day and having the neighbors kids paint Goodyear on my side and tape a string to my navel.
