A few years ago, my son dissembled his tree house, and neatly stacked all the lumber on a picnic table we never use. It's all rotten wood now and looks like hell, so I considered as recently as yesterday tossing it in the trash. I guess I missed my window of opportunity.
|
If it's clean rotten lumber, no paint or treatment, you can compost it or simply cover it with soil. It will improve the water holding capacity of your soil. If you have any yard...

So far, just dumbbells from 5-20 pounds for high reps, frequently throughout the day. But tonight I'll be setting up some higher weight dumbbells, and a couple of barbells for doing deadlifts, squats, bent-over rows, overhead triceps, upright rows, that kind of stuff.

Gorgeous Limey!
NYC is leaving the Parks open but closing some streets so people can walk and maintain their 6 foot gaps. |
Closing parks is bullshit. Wide open spaces are the one place it's safe.

The PA Turnpike is only 360.1 miles long, no reason not to close all the bathrooms. :facepalm:

Parks are closed here too. I think the problem is people are tempted to bend the rules -it's a wide open space so it's ok to meet up.... and they're not very good at keeping a 2 meter distance

Today I thoroughly let myself down. I got up early to do a big tidying/sorting job, and I also planned to go outside in the nice weather. I didn't even touch the big job (yet) and I was just stirring to go out and realized it's dark already :( I haven't left the house. I've done bits of pieces of tidying and cleaning here and there -some regular/routine, some monthly, some annual... but nothing remarkable. I just applied for a job. not a career job, but can't stop just because I have an interview..... soon I will will eligible for unemployment, so I must keep trying in case I do have to try again to apply. I wanted to plant seeds in the nice weather. didn't. And I didn't pay the health insurance that's due at the end of the month and needs to go by mail. Or set up the new printer. I'm working up to doing that right now, though
I did clean the bog, deep clean the shower doors, change the furnace filter, sort out the wrapping paper and ribbon/bow stash, cook linner for myself and the boys, do two loads of laundry, about to do the dishwasher....yada yada yada worried about my distant family members, tracked daughter's progress as she moved from her apartment to her boyfriend's parent's house in the panhandle before her county locks down tonight (gonna be a fun few weeks for her there...) procrastinate much? |
sounds normal

printer is installed! I can do printy things

I just put the actual stuff on the list then cross it out. Success!

The main objective of the day, of every day, is to get through it without physical or mental injury. It's a win.

I'm realizing how lucky I am to live in a rural place where social-distance is easily achieved. I did run into a guy in the woods today but we chatted from a distance. He works on a cell block with a lot of old-timers. They're screening all the employees but if it gets in...
Anyway, rode with Benny and dropped a cherry today. |
Cherry?
Cherry? Like a cherry tree? um.... that bark is nothing like the cherry tree bark I'm acquainted with. ???????? |

Does Benny ever get to ride along like the Big City dogs?

On a road bike I maybe could wear Benny out, usually not while mountain biking. |

Prunus serotina
https://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/...ruser/all.html HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : Black cherry occurs as scattered individuals in numerous forest types of the East (see SAF cover types listed). It is codominant in only one cover type, the black cherry-maple type (SAF 28) found in the Allegheny Plateau and Allegheny Mountain sections of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia [18]. In this type, black cherry is a primary component along with red maple (Acer rubrum), sugar maple (A. saccharum), and white ash (Fraxinus americana). Other common associates include American beech (Fagus grandifolia), eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), sweet birch (Betula lenta), yellow birch (B. alleghaniensis), yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), cucumbertree (Magnolia acuminata), oak (Quercus spp.), and hickory (Carya spp.) |
OMG look at that Cherry! That log is amazing.

I'm still not sure this isn't a euphemism for something rude.... :eek: .....way back when I was employed in a grocery store and I was responsible for printing the promo materials, there was a "cherry fest" promotion and I doctored one of the posters to say "Lost your cherry? Don't worry, we have plenty!" and put it in some department mailboxes. Poor darlings actually thought home office had sent it down and started blustering things like "Do they know what this actually means?....." :lol: |
Ha!

Got out of Dodge, if just for a few hours. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac9988e1ee.jpg
We Hit the trail at 7:48am. Not anyone else on the trail on the way up. Maybe two dozen when we came back down at 9:30. Most kept their distance, but some were clueless. I was prepared though. That’s the Mrs. and daughter behind me in the picture. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f5796ab420.jpg |

If you are isolating with children you have time to teach them a song.
oh not this guy he taught them it in 2011 |
Yesterday I replaced the A/C belt and tensioner (sp) on my truck.
|
Nice!
Yesterday, I put on some disposable rubber gloves, and picked up a dead bunny by our driveway by its hind paws. It was stiff as a board, and there were three flies on it. It had no signs of trauma, disease, or blood from the nose as if it was poisoned. It looked like it was a perfectly healthy specimen, except for the bit about being dead. It's a mystery to me how it died. Anyway, I placed it in a garbage bag and threw my gloves in after it. It's in the garbage can out at the curb now. Good times. |
Will the excitement ever end.

I'm stuffing myself with food to maximize hypertrophy while my body is reacting aggressively. If/when I get too strong for my connective tissues, I'll reduce the calories and start burning off my visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat loss is not a goal, but it should come as a result of my base metabolism increase. |
Good work man. I don't have the discipline for that.

Thanks. For most of my life, it was just an ego thing. I had a naturally lean, aesthetic physique and it was gratifying to see my veins bulging out. This is the first time I’ve ever tried to "bulk up"— all compound movements, no cables/machines, and surplus calorie intake. I’m fat and strong, it's totally different.
... eta: also, I'm not drinking |

Today, I'm using YouTube to expand my brain to include how to use SketchUp. I plan to use it to create a plan for the shop I'm going to build. |
Yesterday we cleaned up the Truck, and today we cleaned up the Car. Later I'm going to help a friend move an organ. Yippee!!!
