JohnH,
Oh yeah, and what are your vet bills, dog food, kennel charges (if
applicable)! You are kidding aren't you? :-)

Let's see. For the Lab:

Radiation therapy for Mast Cell Tumor on paw - $3500
Separated Anterior Cruciate Ligament - $1500
Nerve Sheath tumor biopsy and removal - $600
Nerve Sheath tumor removal (2d time) - $350
Plus a half dozen other 'emergencies' - $1200

That doesn't count the routine shots, checkups, etc, nor food, kennel
charges, etc.

But this has been an expensive dog!

Yes, I was being somewhat facetious. I've been kicking around joining
the local District Park to take advantage of their exercise equipment.
They want about $535/year for a man/wife membership. In the meantime,
I walk the dogs.

My wife and I have the Pacemaker Bronze Basic as does my Physical
Therapist who has four of them.

I like it a lot - not too terribly complex to use either.

I have a Precore 5.21 elliptical that I like a lot. Low impact is easier
on my blown out knee. The quality is excellent but it's big.

Then one would have to forgo binary thinking for octal or hexadecimal,
maybe??

Insidious those loonies aren't they?

Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
