I tipped the scales at 192 this morning. Probably less, since I wasn't buck nekkid on the scale. So my weight has been stable - +/- 5lbs since January or so. I think it cracked 190 because I've easily added 5 lbs of muscle in my shoulders and thighs. When I returned from vacation in … Continue reading Getting Fit

Run fer Yer Life!
Just kidding. There's no running from this. I was awakened yesterday by a clap of thunder that sounded like a cannon shot. Then the wind and rain started, with smacks here and there of hail hitting the window. I got up, hit the head, took my first round of meds and laid back down. Couldn't … Continue reading Run fer Yer Life!
Getting Fit
Had my May weigh in Wednesday. I clocked in at 185. So it seems I've hit a point where I'm stable. My weight has been +/- 3lbs since January. And this is with a week vacation, more restaurant meals, and the occasional desert with the Girl. I spent way too much time arguing with a … Continue reading Getting Fit
Daddy has a new pair of shoes
My daughter and son-in-law are hooked into some crazy auction sites. They pick up stuff, all sorts of stuff, stupidly cheap and resell it. Kind of a hobby. I was over the other day, and they gave me a pair of biking shoes. One of like eighty they picked up. Since I have mutant wide … Continue reading Daddy has a new pair of shoes
Delete Yer Apps!
I've been seeing a lot of security stuff on the interwebs these days. This one was funny. An elderly John Stossel discovering digital hygiene. https://youtu.be/jgoLkpc0PSo Interestingly, most of the apps she's talking about happen to be Google. Why, for the sake of all that is holy, are you using Chrome on your iPhone?Oh, it has … Continue reading Delete Yer Apps!
Lenten Promises
Ash Wednesday snuck up on me this year. A lot of those I read are posting what they plan on abstaining, and fasting. I think, with me at least, fasting is a no-go. When I do, I find that when I stand my blood pressure plummets and I get light headed. I spent a day … Continue reading Lenten Promises
The Iron Doesn’t Lie
Just as I was about to write piece about this, Vox Day weighed in on Sigma Game about this very subject. Although my take on it is little bit different. His is about calculating your max, say for a bench press. He issued a challenge to his readers to test the method. Love to do … Continue reading The Iron Doesn’t Lie
To the Dark Side
Way back in the olden times, I was looking for a computer. I traveled quite a bit, so while I was out of town, I'd hit the apple store to see if I liked Macs. At one point I had a salesguy come up and ask if I needed help. I told him I was … Continue reading To the Dark Side
Where the Heat At?
I have the day off, in honor of MLK. I'll honor that by cleaning up around here and unpacking more boxes. It's 11 degrees outside, part of the three days of winter we'll have this year. So it's chilly, even inside as this dump has shitty windows and doors that don't seal. In my haste … Continue reading Where the Heat At?
Feelin’ Groovy
I feel great today. Slept like a rock all night. Probably because at the Men's Club meeting last night, we had gumbo, french bread, and potato salad. So today, I'm singing praises for the medicinal and restorative properties of Louisiana Gumbo on a chilly night. Asking a native of Southwest Louisiana how to cook gumbo … Continue reading Feelin’ Groovy
