Hi Carol,

 CS> get onboard, down to berthing, and up to my office.  16 to eat lunch,
 CS> 8 more to get changed and go home.  Probably add another 16 so I can
 CS> take a pee-break <g> to make it 40.


RH> Up and down all the time.  But, as I recall, most ladders were not tha
RH> long, usually less than 10 risers.  You'd probably be in good shape to
RH> do one of these Empire State Building or Sears Towers runs. (G)


 CS> Would be a snap for me probably in comparison to the average person.
 CS> On the number of risers, I havent counted but each 'deck' is 10 feet
 CS> above the one below it by average.  (Some are taller than others, 3rd
 CS> deck on an LHD for example).

Better you than me. Some days I even dislike having 2 story housing.


 CS> I did zone inspection for one of the other Masterchief's the day we
 CS> pulled back in.  It was engineering spaces at the aft end.  To get to
 CS> them, you have to climb down these vertical ladders (real adders,
 CS> interconnecting down below so had to come all the way up each time.
 CS> Bob's knees were bothering hm so I did his inspection for him.

RH> I don't think I coud have handled it, at least not now.  Called the
RH> ortho doctor's office a bit ago; he and the foot/ankle specialist
RH> haven't been able to mesh schedules to arrainge a meeting.  Guess that
RH> means I'll go into 2007 without any resolution on the foot.

 CS> I was wondering how you foot was.  I hurt my ankle (mild sprain I
 CS> thought) but it's still bothering me.

Get it checked out if it's still giving you trouble; it may be more than
a mild sprain.  If nothing else, RICE it. I find that the older I get,
the harder it is for things to heal if I don't give it the attention it
needs. If I'd seen a doctor when my foot first started hurting, (several
weks before I did go) I might have avoided the problems I'm having now.
Same with the ankle, don't ignore it.


RH> I'd be weak in the knees, at least; probably sore in other areas as

 CS> Hehe think climbing a totally vertical ladder 6 stories up a building
 CS> then back down.  Now kinda 'reverse it' and you got it.

I get the picture.


 CS> Definately.  Vertical dimensions.  I get to go climbing Friday (leave
 CS> ends) if the weather is good.  Delayed some antenna maintenance and we

RH> Sounds like fun. Hopefully the weather won't be too rotten.  Is that
RH> your version of a space walk like the shuttle guys are doing? (G)

 CS> Weather holding so far and not too terrible cold.  I'll have to borrow
 CS> a wind jacket (paint splashed working type) but it should be ok.
 CS> Cloudy but no rain and wind should be 5KPH gusting no more than 10KPH.
 CS>  Temps around 50F.  Not bad.

OK, just be careful.


 CS> Yeah, a little like a space walk <g>.  Told my new boss via email
 CS> alredy that my first day back, she's gonna have to wait til I get down
 CS> before we can do a big check-in meeting.

Unless she wants to come out there with you. (G)
