Are you still working out on your elliptical runner?

I am embarrassed to admit no. Last April, after dropping 65 lbs, I stopped
the rigid diet and exercise routine because I was outdoors and physically
active but still tried to watch how much I ate or drank. I did ok all last
summer and for a good part of this winter, but now I have realized that I've
regained about half of what I lost.

That's next. I have to get myself mentally pumped up again and start back
into the walking/running/weight lifting routine.
I don't think I have to go as rigid with the dieting, but I need to lose
some. I got down to 195 lbs (from 260) last time and everybody, including
the doc, said not to lose anymore. I need to be around 205-210 and right
now I am at about 225.

The hardest part is just getting started. I use a health club, and I
have found going in the morning helps to get the day started and going
in the evening helps to control my evening appetite. I have never had a
problem eating correctly during the day, it is at night when I eat too
much of the wrong stuff.

Do four miles on a treadmill, then go hit a hundred balls at the driving
range. I figure that's as good as walking 18 holes.

Yeah, and more fun. You don't feel like such a klutz.

Crazy. I've been getting rid of most of the old cars ..... sold the '46
Ford, the '64 Ford, the '55 F-100 and gave the '69 Charger away. I have
kept the '67 GTO and the Porsche (just in case I run into wiseguys with
Corvettes). Now, I am starting over again. Oh well.

Two cars I want rebuild before I die. I 1964 Galaxy XL (hardtop or
convert. I'm not choosy!), and also a 1965 (body style change) Galaxy
XL.

The '64 Galaxie 500 XL is arguably the nicest looking Galaxie of all time.
I still prefer the '63 however. I had a nice, '62 "Sunliner" convertible a
few years back and a plain-Jane '65 Ford "Custom" with the 300 ci straight
six for a while. Also had a '66 LTD ... maroon with black vinyl top.
Showing my age though. The '66 wasn't a "collector". It was our primary
transportation for a couple of years back in the early 70's.

Yes, I think the 64 is a thing of beauty. I had a 65 Galaxy, not an
XL, that the unibody "frame' rusted in half (western NY) and then a
white 65 Custom like yours. These were in my youth and VERY used! I
had a 69 Fairlane 500 hardtop (fastback) that I really liked. It had a
250 straight six in it, then I later got a 289 HiPo out of a wrecked
Mustang and put in it. Didn't the 62 Sunliner have the tailights that
looked like a frown? Or was that the 61?

You're thinking of the '60.

'61 had the big, round taillights that carried thru until '64.
