Nice weather. It is currently 75 degrees Fahrenheit here or about 24 degrees Celsius. The sun is shining and the yard (if I may say so myself) is looking spectacular this spring. I just watered the plants in the back yard and sprinkled the dogs a little too.

My little sister fell yesterday, hitting her face on a curb as she stepped off the bus. She ended up in emergency. Fortunately, she broke no bones nor had a concussion. Her right eye is swollen shut and she has a knot on her forehead the size of a baseball. In general, she looks like someone beat her up. She is staying with us for a few days while she recovers. She has ongoing problems with balance, so she falls frequently. This fall was worse than most. I worry because she lives in a second story apartment with a cement staircase. She's fallen on those stairs a couple of times already. Clearly, she needs to get into a main floor unit.

Enjoy your bicycle ride. I need to haul mine out, tune it up and get on it. I suppose I could take in down the hill and ride on level ground to start with. My legs are probably not up to the task of getting me up the hill....not to mention my wind capacity or lack thereof.

Hope your sister gets well quickly.

X2, and I hope she's able to handle her disbalance mentally.

Just got back from another gym, where I had a back/delts training under guidance of my trainer, or should I say 'butcher'?

Back:
Rear pull downs, supersetted with standing/hanging cable rows (first time, pretty hard compared with the seated version).
Bent over bb rows with a pronated grip.
Cable pull overs.
T-bar rows.
Pronated machine rows.

Delts:
Seated db press with a twist.
Standing db lateral raises, supersetted with palms up db front raises.
Seated db press, elbows tucked in.
Bent over db rear raises.

Next time I bring a second shirt and a belt, I'm toasted but I feel good
