Nothing in particular....
I have a whole day's worth of work to do today for the man, but I want to get this out of the way first since I've been chastised for NOT posting for a while!!! (Hi Jen)
I've begun a physical training program in preparation for my backpacking trip to New Mexico next summer (10 days on the trail, somewhere between 60 and 80 miles at the Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron , NM - the Sangre de Cristo mountains (I sure hope some damned PC group never pushes to have the name of those mountains changed because it translates to "Blood of Christ")).
Jesus, double parentheses - just like writing computer programs!!!
Anyhow, treadmill 5-7 days a week (I need to get to 3-3.5 miles a day) and weight training 3 days a week. I need to lose 20-25 pounds by then and increase my aerobic capacity. HOPEFULLY I'll be able to keep MOST of that weight off too - I'm beginning to resemble HOMER SIMPSON!!!
We're making plans to move the hot tub outside into the back yard and put the exercise equipment in the florida room where the hot tub is now. It's a portable one ( http://softub.com/). Then we'll be able to get at least ONE car in the garage - that's where the exercise stuff is now.
Also, we need to replace the storage building that is in the back yard - the old one is FALLING APART!!!
And, I NEED A NEW JOB!!!
I'll make a couple of calls this morning and see what is available at a company a few miles from here that does the same kind of work for the same government agency that I have been contracting with.
*crosses fingers*
Oh, and the damned lawn mower broke last night - the main drive belt went. I had a replacement and installed it, incorrectly as it turns out because IT BROKE TOO!!! I had to finish the lawn with a small 21" mower (the big one is a 33"). What a dumbass - my Chinese patron saint has been up to his old tricks (Sum Dum Fuk).
B4N!!!
