I would rather say he had no hand available to tap

Holy crap, this thread took a life of its own. LOL.

To be honest, the Internet does get in the way of getting things done, specially right now. It is an addiction. Certainly, Hedge gave me the idea, or rather, the initiative to make some changes. I enjoy posting here. I owe a lot to this website (in particular when I got my staph infection... I would have never caught that on time without the bullies' help.)

The site helped me confirm what I kinda suspected for a long time (most black belt masters couldn't fight for ****), and funny enough, got me to correct my weight lifting far more than any other source of fitness and make tremendous improvements in strength and health.

However, it does take time. I actually sat down and stimated I could easily be putting 3-4 hours a day, sometimes more, not in a single block, but throughout the whole day. I can't have that, I shouldn't. I've been waaaay too busy, not even able to do MA, not even working out, with a shitload of stuff to do at work.

So now my posting will be more discretionary and for when it can actually benefit someone or myself... and if I can get some free time to post more of Jamie Eason, certainly, I will :evil6:

This last week was just retarded busy, documenting and doing a knowledge transfer for the dept is going to take over my functions, trying to tie loose ends and **** like that.

I literally worked Wednesday from 7AM to 12AM, then from Thursday 7AM until Friday 5:30PM (I wasn't smelling that good mind you.) I was so wired up when I came home Friday that I couldn't fall sleep and couldn't eat. I had to drink a beer and some vodka to get me to sleep.

Now, I need to digest a thick book to get ready for work tomorrow (something I needed to do during the week, but **** hit the fan). So, let's see how the hell this enchilada develops.

Now THIS IS a "how do quit teh 'tinternet" thread without the EMO.

Don't be a stranger mate.

Indeed. TCB, baby.

You stay classy El Macho

I like the "special forces intraweebz" you're putting on: lots of sleep deprivation and altered mental states. fun.

America needs more dudes with stones to work over 6 actual hrs/day. What is this? France!?

It was fun years ago to pull long hours. From McDonalds to Home Depot all the way to IT, long hours == overtime (I'm a greedy bastard.) As long as it is in a predictable schedule, I can handle it. But it was the inconsistency in hours, the lack of a predictable schedule that really got to me. I had to carry my cell phone on, all the time, 24/7 for five years, with only 4 days of a mini-vacation in total. It really got to me. l loved my previous job, but I'm too old for that ****.

There is a lot of work where I am right now, but I don't have to bring work home, nor get calls at night. Plus I don't have access to the company's intranet from home, so cold turkey I'm off logging in from home to do work. I've had the best sleep in years and got a chance to watch "Wyatt Earp" and "Tombstone" back to back, maw my lawn, play with the dog and watch the UFC last night with my g/f without having work to do on a weekend. I completely forgot what a normal weekend was like.

Now I'm getting time to keep building my home gym... was thinking to build a pair of squat stands with either 4x4s and concrete buckets, or using galvanized pipes (time to use my powertools and metal drill bits to good use.) But for now I'm using a pair of crawford metal sawhorses (those puppies can handle up to 2,000lbs, more than what I'll ever need.)

Little things like that, time to do your own **** outside of work, training, working out, family, or simply sitting on a couch half naked (to my g/f's annoyance) with a beer at hand, that stuff is priceless.


In a couple of hours I'm going to Home Depot to buy several metal springs. I bought a "Body By Jake" cardio cruiser (http://www.cardiocruise.com/default.aspx?adid=hyd1001.4586) on craiglist for $25 (usually runs for about $300). It's an ok machine, but I'm going to attach some springs on the bottom part to make it a better cardio machine thingie. Now I have time to build and tweak stuff.

Good to hear you are doing well...

Be well Macho, in all of your en devours and don't be gone long!

Take it easy mate.

Best Wishes. Always enjoy reading your posts and your generosity with the knowledge imparted.

Ooops! Got run, SETANTA are showing UFC Silva v Irwin on re-run and I don't know the results.
Cheers

building your own gear is very manly, but modifying a "Body by Jake Cardio Cruiser" to suit your needs just f'king pwnns!!
