    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

    And what did their heirs and assigns learn from that?

    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.

    I hated that. If I'm not training to besiege
    Stalingrad, why bother?

    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.

    We had our surfing kahuna here a few years ago.

    Scuba in Colorado? Some mighty deep swimming pools perhaps.
    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.

    Ever get snagged or almost snagged by the hardware? In
    yesterday or the day before's New York Times crossword,
    one of the clues was something like bad things for space
    suits, and the answer was rips.

    It's a bit of a shame when the dictates of the insurance
    company override medical best practice.

    Oh I can't blame them on it, I would have perfectly within my rights to head straight there and they couldn't have argued. But I figured I could survive until the whole insurance thing was worked out and it streamlined things. So I
    arranged for the wait and it gave me a chance to talk to my primary cardiac guy
    about it after he had a chance to see me. I went in for an angioplasty and per
    normal exceeded everyones expectations (although we'd discussed the possibility
    of a bypass).

    Nope, carefully emulating a crocagator (although I probably more closely resembled a seal/sea lion) I raised my eyes above the water level to determine where the fishing persons were and calculated how far out they were tossing things. Back down below I could see that the fishies were congregating just outside of the danger zone themselves. They're not as dumb as reported.
