Fun Family Day!
So today my wife and I had plans to go on a hike with her brother on one of the Billy Goat trails. We were hoping to maybe do 2 of them if we felt up to it, but alas we did not. We did the “A” trail which is the ruff one. Had we done “B” instead we probably could have then done “C” which is easy and flat terrain. Maybe tomorrow.

I got on the elliptical machine for 30 minutes to get a light workout in knowing we were going to be doing some hiking today. I am glad I only did 30 minutes. We hiked and completed it in under 3 hours. Not bad considering how packed the place was and we did do some side excurions climbing up some rocky areas just to do it. I did get an upper body workout doing this. On one tough spot I got a bonus “scrape” on my back from a tree branch. I knew I hit it with some force but I did not think I had broken the skin. Surprise! I did break the skin. I did not get to see it until hours later at home. My wife cleaned it with saline solution so It should be fine as is.I took a few pictures from the day but was the photographer and not in any of them. That is cool with me, I got to capture other’s fun today.

And finally my brush with a tree branch.
I can barely see it!
So I did not tear the shirt but I tore the skin open. Weird. Actually that is better. The skin will heal but a torn shi
