    1. Yes, but the last time I was a bit wobbly and nearly went into a lake on a narrow path. My bike went to a charity when there was a building bike room clear out.
    2. Yes, but I do appreciate God for inventing auto transmissions.
    3. No skiing but sliding down snow slopes on polyurethane super phosphate bags.
    4. I love eagles but I don't feel like I soar with them.
    5. The last time I rowed a boat was about thirty years ago on a lake and I rowed my Mother and my partner into an overhanging clump of tree branches at the lake shore. It was fun.

      It has likely been 30 years since I was in a row boat.

    Can you ride a bike? It's been a while but yes I can.
    Drive a car with a manual transmission? It's been a while but yes I can ... my first car was an old VW!
    Ski, either water or snow? I have done both and I like water better; snow seems a lot of climbing a hill, skiing down, climbing a hill ... repeat.
    Soar with the Eagles? In a jet plane? Yes.
    Row a boat? I have done this and it's harder than one would think.

      A neighbor has a V-series Cadillac, it was the only option that offered a manual transmission, her license plate reads (StShift.)
