Guard Dog Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I planted pumpkins in the garden last month. They are really coming along! Today I'm cleaning out the rabbit cages, playing with Sunny & Tommy and tonight I'm taking my wife out for dinner. Gonna be a good day.

Raithe Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I have returned. 11.5 miles, 20 obstacles completed. Showered and sitting down finally with a fresh cup of tea. I will also state for the record, that Arctic Enema is a biyiitch. http://youtu.be/Z-HG32z9hz4 Note, for our version of Arctic Enema, it was mud brown and it wasn't a "board".. it was a row of bloody tractor tires you had to submerge under and move past... 5 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Raithe Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Tried to do some stretching today, but frankly.. "ow". My hips and upper thighs are firmly in the painful stage, one knee keeps locking up stiff, I've got a bunch of bruises that are developing into some impressive patterns and colours, and it's surprising how awkward it can be to move around. Even when laying down to shift and change position can send spikes of ache and pain out from various locations. I've been told I'm walking like a slightly drunk John Wayne. I think it might be time to take some more ibuprofen. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Went to the theatre in Hangzhou tonight where we watched the Night Of West Lake show. Totally amazing. Packed theatre and our group had the two front rows. I managed to get pretty much all the show on video camera. My partner and I was also part of it where some of the actors came off stage in the middle of a segment where they offered eight members of the audience tea which was part of the show.

Woldan Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Downloading the PoE beta now. There goes the last week before I start a new semester. Man, I envy you! Have fun! What I did today: shoulder and triceps day! Heavy military presses, in the end I was pressing 72 kilograms 6 reps slowly and with perfect form with no support of any kind, just the barbell and I. I love this exercise more than any other, it just feels so great. Edited August 19, 2014 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Some kind of marine training exercise? It's Marine Corps Boot Camp. Since Shady is from west of the Mississippi he went to MCRD San Diego and then to Camp Pendleton. Thirteen weeks of sun & fun in southern California with three charming tour guides to make sure you have a good time.. I was from east of the Mississippi so I went to Parris Island. That was thirteen weeks of sun, fun and sand (lots of that) in the glorious Carolina coastland with three charming tour guides to make sure you have a good time. Although the training is exactly the same it is actually a very different experience due to the difference of geography. It is a running debate amongst Marines which experience is tougher. The truth is they both have their challenges. We called the west coast guys Hollywood Marines. If they have a term for the Parris Island Marines I've forgotten it. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Marine boot camp. Interesting, so what is the relevance of Pendleton? Is that a mountain that is part of the training, do you have to camp on it or climb parts of it? Mt. Motherf----r and Old Smokey are two hills in the San Onfree training area that are used for PT and forced march and infantry training. Mt. Motherf----r is shorter but longer than Old Smokey. I believe it's considered to be the worst of the two. Old smokey is taller and a near vertical climb but you get to the top quicker. I've never run up either but I did drive by them once when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton briefly in 1991. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
