Melissa's Idea Garden

We are trying to lighten our load as we look towards moving in the months ahead. Below is information about the Stairmaster we have and our looking for a new home for. We are asking 500.00 for it. It is commercial grade.

In 1996, Daniel and I purchased a brand new StairMaster Freeclimber 4400 PT for approximately $3600.00. For the first few months, I used it regularly, then off and on. Daniel used it regularly for a couple of years, then sporadically since. The machine is in good working order and is not broken or damaged in anyway. It also comes with a mat to sit the Stairmaster on, two instructions books. So, instead of paying an expensive health club fee, why not get this awesome piece of equipment to use in the privacy of your own home. Trust me, it will give you a great workout! And your heart will thank you for it!

Below, you will find information about the StairMaster 4400 PT that comes from the manufacturer. This item is available for you to pick up only or you may arrange for shipping if you would like.

The StairMaster 4400 PT has the new upright rail-less configuration design. This encourages correct posture, and prevents the ability to cheat by transferring weight to the arms. This stepper made by the industry-leading manufacturer of steppers. The independent step action offers the extra wide "sweet spot" that makes the Stairmaster so effective and enjoyable to use. It offers a wide range of exercise options to provide constant motivation and challenge for everyone regardless of age or fitness point during the workout. The new computer console motivates the user during workouts, with different program options and workout statistics. With its 2' x 4' floor space footprint, this is one of the most space savings steppers available.

Well time flies when you are busy...

I have three boxes packed up for a yard sale in May. There are another dozen boxes packed up for moving. And I have solde about three boxes worth of stuff on eBay and Amazon.

Still no one has come to see the house, but the realtor says warmer weather and longer days will bring them out. Meanwhile I am glad to get some of the packing done.

I didn't even know that black penguins existed! 

Dr. Allan Baker's, an ornithologist and professor of Environmental and Evolutionary Studies at the University of Toronto and head of the Department of Natural History at the Royal Ontario Museum, first response upon seeing the photo was:  "Wow. That looks so bizarre I can't even believe it. Wow."
