    Just for s&gs I looked up Differential Equations for
    Dummies, and it exists. So I tried Waterskiing for
    Dummies, and it doesn't, but there apparently is a
    Skiing for Dummies. I maintain of course that all
    skiing is for dummies.
    Now wait a dern minnitt here! Nothing wrong with skiing, well
    truthfully I've
    got my doubts about cross country (people around here get killed doing
    that,
    lost a new Cardiologist that way). College PE classes, where I went to
    school

    If a little exercise is good, a lot is better [croak].

    in Colorado, offered downhill skiing. Also SCUBA, there'd be a Dummies
    book.

    Scuba in Colorado? Some mighty deep swimming pools perhaps.

    But Infinite Series would've been handy, back when I was slaving my way
    through
    those two tough PE classes.

    Avalanche. Lots of avalanches...get's snowmachiners too. I never got into either of those things, but knew 2 people who died from avalanches. Like I said he was a new guy, we'd just gotten back from Germany and I'd had some chest pains while I was there. He ordered a Nuclear Stress Test, took one look
    at the results and I had to argue to get to go home (went in a week later and had a bypass). This all the last week of December, just when the preferred provider was being switched on New Years, hence the reluctance to scoot over to
    the ER. I did a lot of outdoorsy things back when I was in Colorado, anyone for winter backpacking? Now I have a RV, OK 2 RV's but neither moves anymore.
    But then again, I lived in Hawaii for 4 years (10-14yo) and never learned how to surf, did a lot of snorkling and a little sailing.

    Initially it was a swimming pool. Later nice mountain lakes, a little chilly but that's what a wet suit is for...jump in, go "YIKES", hop out and lay in the
    sun (nice black suit that heats up fast), at that point I'd have a nice layer of warm water in the suit so it made it pretty comfortable. Clear mountain lakes, swim around and watch the trout dodge all the hardware being tossed at them from the fishing persons. Moved here and the only thing I've used a lake for is landing on, don't even do that anymore.
