Well I did it, got my first gym membership since injuring my knee in April 2015. Two and a half years is the longest period without a gym membership since 1979. Had my 40th HS Reunion last Friday and I realized that regardless of my failings (perceived or otherwise) 39 years of avid...

I know he doesn't need it, or want it, nor rather cares either way. Such is the stoic nature of Mars in Capricorn, but I wish to extend a public apology to Bufbiker for writing my astrological analysis of his birth data on a public forum. In 39 years I have never shared a person's data with...

Ugh, enough with the pains and agony and Astrology and well space nuts! That's it, I need some raw, so, feeling frisky today and after being barraged by several extremely loud women, (as they were screaming in my ear) I wanted to ask the Peak Muscler's, "what's the smallest car you almost had...

Umbilical hernia repair Wednesday, September 20, 2017. Cute nurses... that's all I remember. Not bad heh? I had a big pad and support belt gizmo when I woke up. Very painful, didn't know what to expect. Gave me codeine but I don't like downer crap. Especially because they put stuff in it to make...

The time has arrived for rest and repair. I'm sitting in the waiting room for my umbilical cord hernia surgery. This occurs on the new moon Fall Equinox. The moon is new in Virgo which rules the gut, digestion and elimination. Mercury rules Virgo and represents technical use of the hands. I...

I love my steel job! Production fuels me. Every day I complete material to "go out the door!" I have survived the onslaught of lesser souls. One quit, one was fired, vacations have removed the less of heart, and one should leave within two weeks (the 'oh, I clushed my fingers while working...

Had a stress test today from 8 to 11. When it was finished and I asked when I would get the results, the nurse said, "In 3 or 4 days, unless they notice a problem!" So, imagine my surprise when the Cardiologist called me at 5:15? I saw his name on call waiting and my heart sunk (no pun)! He said...

Dr said his office would call on Monday to schedule the stress test he ordered; no call. I called and left my contact info; today, no call. Surgery was scheduled for next Wednesday, Doc wanted to schedule the stress test for Monday, but that would only allow me one day's pay for the week. I say...

Step by step, almost tip-towing at times, I move closer to my game. Glitch, switch, fitch, hey Mitch, how's Yasmin B---h! Yeah whatever. BP is down, no scripts, clean system, get the hernia fixed, then get a new apartment, start Project X, add fresh air and voila! New Man. Saw the Cardiologist...

Was driving my F-150 in a dream, saw a Harley half on/off the road with a guy laying in front of it. Thought I would help him out so he didn't get picked up. I stopped and asked if he was alright? I startled him, he got up and I realized it was my best friend who died last July. I ran back to...

Who else is getting calls from the past? A woman I saw several times 3 years ago has been texting. Of course I assumed I was unapproachable, discusting, overweight, and unlovable but she didn't buy it. "You look great," she wrote several times after I sent her resent pictures (clothed). Course...

The rope no longer burns my hands, my back muscles are intertwined by 20,000 reps of use and abuse, my mind never got used to the corner and the X-Games of my body have reached their contact point. Lats will flair, calves integrate, forearms tighten like the sails in a stiff wind. The man of...

Goals, they're just not for kids you know! In Grad school for my Master Degree in Physical Education, I wrote a paper about the exercise needs of older males. In essence, I wrote the two most basic exercises an elderly male should do are push-ups and lying leg raises. To be honest, it's dumb to...

Hit the wall, realized working/slaving-doing shit work 80 hours a week was a total waste of time. Like my respectful friend, Bill said, "They get enough of me!" Those words rang incessant as I performed the lowest, dirtiest, most menial jobs in the shop, then it dawned on me; I could just say...

Yeah, slowly but surely I have adjusted my diet since January, determined to get back to competition weight. Misplaced the scale somewhere in the garage 6 weeks ago, but kept at it. From Stromboli for lunch in February to pineapple yogurt over salad today with a navel orange for desert and water...

Felt like I was a teacher again in the hood. Was cleaning welds on 54" electrical panels in prep for shipping but was constantly distracted by welding flashes in my peripheral vision. The welder never pulls over his screen although he has been told by the super many times. I don't like the...

Please, sit to pee, then come sing three octaves off the cord, please, lets all sing... when will it end...

It dawned on me, I had stopped existing, there was no substance because of over-rides, cost overruns and adjustments for domestic product. The sky was the limit. The intent was that I would be the epitamy of modern warfare; sharp, advanced, computerized in assimilation and accessorized for...

Just had an epiphany: what if I outlast them all? Hand problems, leg problems, hernias... blah, blah, blah... what if in 20 years I'm the only one left and still kicking and emphasizing the benefits of deadlifts? I've decided that the next time I walk, I throw in a few, "run groups," between...

Used to be where they would just be numb, later they would cramp up as well, especially during sleep. Then numbness found daily activities, but now my knuckles "lock up" as I contract my hands. If I make a fist my 2 middle fingers lock and I have to snap my wrist to get them released, or...
