Recently I managed to dig myself a hole on Facebook.
Wasn’t intentional but my statements there were more reactionary than thought out.
Let me set the record straight here.
America is a country founded on the idea of freedom of religion. Read the rest of this entry »
I have heard many speeches in my time pertaining to victory and heralding change in our world and our country.
But tonight’s…just rang hollow with me.
Great story about a Private at age 41 who is making it the US Army.
While I’m not that old, it does give me hope that I can make the grade myself, even if it is in the Guard instead of AD.
Just gotta keep working this weight off
The Mechanic is deployed yet again. So I have again been asked to assist in keeping some regular content at his website Frozen in Drum, a Fort Drum, and 10th Mountain focused MilBlog.
Drop in over there sometime, say Hi. Wander around.
Just make sure we don’t let the dog out unsupervised all right?
Some things are just too good to pass up.
The actual description is below the picture, but what do you think it should have said?

Today is apparently The Armorer’s Natal Day
So in honor of He of the Large guns and Margarita’s:

Routine is setting in finally. Work out Monday thru Friday. Rest Saturday and Sunday.
Challenge was getting up this morning. As I mentioned my secret weapon came in finally. First use in over 10 years was yesterday afternoon.
I did barely 15 minutes and accordingly my heart rate hit over 180. Ended up doing another 10 minutes of cool down to let my heart come down slow. Now that’s cardio!
The secret weapon of course is my kettle bell. I used it a lot at Ft. Lewis and loved it as well as the results. I am having to work my way in to it however, as I really have let myself go. The good news of the day is Rx-2 told me I was down to 256 from 258 this morning.
Game on.
President of Iran Ahmadinejad. Also called AlphabetSoup, Ahmeanhim (said with a Southern accent), and That-guy-with-the-name-that’s-impossible-name-to-pronounce-whose-in-charge-of-Iran.
He could be a comedian. His public stand up comedy routine, that passes for politics, is somewhere south of Robin Williams and left of Dennis Miller.
It would be funny. Read the rest of this entry »
If it wasn’t for the possibility he has or is developing nuclear weapons.
Lunch yesterday got tossed out the window when the guys from Ryder took us to lunch. I played it safe and just had a Salad.
Dinner was a simple chicken sandwich, no lettuce, light miracle whip, slice of cheese on Wheatberry bread (my favorite).
30 minutes on the bike last night.
Breakfast today was another fruit bar. Yogurt from yesterday for lunch today.
Maxed out at 83 reps yesterday of 10 on the Kettlebell. That sounds like a lot but it is only a 10 lb Kettlebell. Small so its easily transportable, more reps versus more weight.
Arms more sore today but we’ll stay steady as she goes with it.
Gotta stay focused on the goal, aye?
Wrapped up yesterday with pasta, and ground turkey. the last of my Saturday left overs. Tonight will be the last of my Sunday left overs. Hey cooking on a budget can be fun if you know what to cook.
Out of Special K until the weekend so breakfast was a PediaSure Nutri Pals Fruit Bar. About 150 Calories.
Yes I am aware that this is one of my daughters fruit bars, but it was a better choice than my wife’s Double Fudge Pop tarts.
Lunch is Yogurt as usual.
Did Kettlebell reps yesterday literally until muscle failure. Stopped counting reps after 80 reps of 10 per arm. Arms were sore last night but feel fine today. We’ll see how we do.
Ended the night with NCSI reruns and 30 minutes on the Bike.
