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
Getting Fit
I clocked in at 200 lbs this month. This is astonishing because I think I have two weeks of exercise for the whole month. Getting a hernia fixed sidelined me for a bit. Then, two weeks ago I wiped out on my bike when turning into the park on some wet leaves. I went down … Continue reading Getting Fit
Recycling a House
On my dog walk, I pass this almost every day: They are clearing the lot for what is probably another McMansion. Pfft...McMansion - really a full on one, in this neighborhood at least. They took the place apart piece by piece. Note the stack of wood to the left. Behind, there's a stack of bricks. … Continue reading Recycling a House
Readying to Bug Out
It's Sunday morning as I type this, and it's cold. I'm waiting for the temps to come up so I can continue packing the garage. Winston is curled up on the bed in my office. The slobbering doofus took out one of my slippers. Can't have anything nice around here. I need to ban him … Continue reading Readying to Bug Out
Getting Fit
As I've been being scrupulous about my diet and exercise, I weigh in every month. This week I'm 215 and change. That's 60 lbs from a year ago or so, and 10 under my goal. Why not keep it up? I've increased the length of my 3x weekly bike rides, and I run sprints 2x … Continue reading Getting Fit
Ready to Sail
Cleaned up the Kayak, best I could. Those two holes behind the seat are fishing pole holders. It also came with a pack accessory for the back. I figured that I wasn't going to bust my ass trying to remove the insulation residue in the cargo space. The only thing that would do it is … Continue reading Ready to Sail
Sandbridge, VA
Last week I headed up, back to the motherland. Virginia in this case, to Sandbridge. Sandbridge is a beach, some ways south of Virginia beach. Unlike the traditional beaches, this one is nearly all rental properties - no hotels, no motels, no camping. There's exactly one beach store/restaurant that looks like it could be on … Continue reading Sandbridge, VA
