Month: August 2003

Muscles I didn’t even know I had are in pain…

August 11, 2003

And it feels totally sweet! I did a full weight training circuit at the gym this evening. Overall, about 45 minutes. I’m amazed at how uneven my strengths and weaknesses are. Anything lower body I’m in the 350 to 450 pound range. Upper body pull, I’m in the 150 to 200 pound range. Upper body […]

Snack

Piece of leftover grilled pork

Dinner

2 slices KETO Low Carb Pizza with cheese and zero carb sauce

Lunch

Norpaco Pepper Delights Leftover grilled steak

When’s the reunion?

Just for the heck of it I filled out profiles at the Nashua High School Alumni Web site and Classmates.com. I’m not quite sure why I bothered…I hold high school with such contempt that I wish most of the experience could be erased from my memory. I have managed to track down a few old […]

Snack

Handful almonds Frico smoked cheese

Breakfast

2 slices roast beef Norpaco Pepper Delights

I’m too sexy for my hat…

Maybe if old bats weren’t so concerned about what their husbands were staring at, the world would be a better place.

I restarted weight training yesterday…

For the first time in a while I moved back over to weights yesterday instead of my usual elliptical workout. As I figured, I’m weak in quite a few areas but I maxed out the ankle/calf press at 400 pounds…there wasn’t enough weight to add to it. Maybe I can find a few small teenieboppers […]

The cabin was moist.

August 10, 2003

Kelly and I just got back from my Grandmother’s cabin up on Little Ossipee Lake in Maine. Out of the blue we decided to make the impromptu journey and visit for the afternoon. Although our original intention was to run to take advantage of the lake, we opted to read our books on the porch […]

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

  • Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride!
    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh!

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter). I’m intrigued by their product lineup, reviews, and press coverage so I applied to become a member of their Flight Crew. Hopefully the next time you see […]
