I am stealing this line!

8 count body builders. Tell me that was not the ultimate PT workout. And of course they would always do it at the end when you're a little wiped from all the others!

How was it for you? Most folks don't seem to have a high opinion of it.

Just finished reading Cornwells Sharpe's Rifles. Now reading.... ah screw it, that title is too long... this: http://www.amazon.com/Wallace-Underdog-Conquered-Championed-Bulls--One-ebook/dp/B007FEPQCQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1383874612&sr=1-1&keywords=wallace+the+pitbull#_

Does fighting trolls count as a workout? If so we'd all be supermen! Back OT does has anyone ever tried a purely bodyweight only workout system? I have a copy of Pavel Tsatsouline's book The Naked Warrior but I've never really tried the exercises. I know in the Marines we did the "daily dozen" exercises almost every day followed by a run and they really worked for improving both strength and stamina.

The worst... no.. the absolute worst Chinese take out you've ever tasted. If you ever go into a chinese take out joint and there are no Asian folks working there, just turn around and leave! I don't know why it matters, but it does. It might be a long night tonight....

I got my first electric bill since finally getting the solar panels working. It was $67. It's usually around $200 this time of the year. If I could just rig a turbine in the river I could tell SWTEC to go to hell all together.

I set up some chicken gumbo in the crock pot this morning. it's been slow cooking all day. Everything in it except the chicken came from my garden. I really should get some chickens.

I just printed this out. I am so going to try this the next time I have venison in the house. Which, hopefully, will be this weekend.

I used to. I lived in Margate in Broward country & Loxahatchee in Palm Beach for 18 years between them. I moved up here to west Tennessee a few years ago.

I guess I got away from it for two reasons. First it's just a habit. When you are doing it you want to continue doing it. When you're not doing it, it gets difficult to get back into. When I was lifting regularly I was spending 10-14 hours a day either sitting in a cubicle or commuting back and forth to work. So I really needed it as exercise & stress relief. Now that I'm self employed so to speak I can spend more time doing work outside the house and I don't miss out on the exercise. Plus when I was going to an office everyday the gym was right there and convenient. The nearest gym to me now is a hell of a long drive. So instead of weights I lift firewood, repair fences, carry fertilizer/feed/seed bags and instead of running I push a lawn mower & weed whacker.

Those were great trucks. I wish Ford had never stopped making them. I used to have on myself.

Rather than pull stumps which is hard work, I dug out around them, packed the trenches with split kindling, doused the suckers with gas and lit them up. Stumps - 0, Me -1.

Another week, another heartbreaking loss for the Pewter Pirates. I hate Sundays!

I don't lift or run any more. I used all through my military service (obviously) and after. I got away from it and now that I have extra hardware in my legs I really can't. But I am vary active and spend almost all of my free time doing outdoors stuff like hunting, fishing, farming (sort of) and, like this weekend, cutting and moving trees. I think I'm in pretty good shape for my age. I don't eat junk food and I don't drink like I used to.

Don't blame us... the Brits started this one. We just commercialized the hell out of it.

The sixers got on them 19-0 to start and the Heat never led. The score made it look close but the highlights on ESPN didn't.

Anyone who comes to my place would have to be desperate indeed. i live at the end of a loooong dirt road.

Working on the house this weekend. I'm going to start clearing some trees to make a pasture. I'm going to try cutting my own fence posts from the felled trees. I've never done anything like that before. Should be interesting. It would definitely be efficient. Whatever is left over I'll split for firewood. I try not to waste if I can help it.

Sixers pummel the Heat! Hahahahaha!

I guess I can really start watching football now!

Wow, great day for Red Sox nation, and certain cat loving & rodent loving board members! One thing about this season, the best team did indeed win.

I KNEW IT!

I just re-read my OP with all my predictions. I suck at baseball prognostication!

Oh they don't replace everyone, but do do replace the management!
