NT!
Doing Helpdesk to start off. I figure there won't be much to do besides work and study...go to the gym if my body stops getting odd pains....
Get certifications...make a couple hundred grand...good stuff.

How long you planning to be there?

Hiya Katt!

Py-
contract is for a year, but was told that if you stay longer, they give out pretty good bonuses? Would also like to check on educational opportunities...maybe see about taking classes and finishing my bachelor's? Maybe a couple more certifications to ensure a noice salary when I get back...hmmm...no bills, completed education and a snazzy paycheck...all I'd have to do is find some amazing woman to soend the rest of life with...and all will be well.

How goes it with you?

Posted by: Pylon

Slowly. But the new job is great. The happiest I've been (work-wise) in probably four years.

Sounds like you have a great opportunity in front of you. If you are locked away for that long, get into an online degree program and bang it out!

Hey Py-
That's what I was thinking.
Great to hear about the new job! Any travel for you?

Ok, scar update:
Sentencing was on Monday. (two years and five days after the fact...them thar wheels of justice do turn slowly)
He got 14 years.
Now...to see what I can do for compensation. Doubt anything...but it will be worth looking into.

Still waiting for my slot to open for the afghan job.

THink I've somehow come down wtih tennis elbow? I haven't even been lifting or anything...VERY annoying. Been taking ibuprofrin (sp) see if that helps.

Posted by: Pylon

14 years, huh? Sounds like he didn't get off too easy.

Just got back from Minneapolis. I'll be making a trip to Brazil in October, or at least that's what' scheduled. Here, there and everywhere.

Any word on the bike incident?

Afghanistan? I don't care how much they were paying me, how could u stand to live there? won't you miss this country too much? all of our wholesome shows like TMZ and morbid nightly news stories?

Posted by: Burner02

Hey Oak-
Trust me...NOT looking forward to going to that shit-hole...but while there, every 4-weeks will remind myself that I just made another 10k...I'm ready to trade a year of my life of misery to set myself up for better things after that.

Py-
Sounds great, brotha! LOVE to go see Brazil!

ok....made the investment (supplemnts)..amd heading back to the gym zone this afternoon. Figure that with the sentencing over, its time to turn the next page and move on and forward.
Gonna take it easy and light (not that I will have much choice) but just take it slow and ease myself back into it. I got some joint stuff, as well as flax/fish oil for the tennis elbow. Still taking the ibuproferin and got some aspercream.

Tried golfing on Saturday. FINALLY got to use the clubs I got a year ago. That was the 1st time I’ve ‘played’ since the early ‘90’s? Yeah, it was horrible, but we had beer and golf carts, so that made up for it. Let’s just say that Bo and Luke Duke would have approved some of our antics….

Hope all is well.

I went on Monday. Chest...took it easy.
a) to ease back into it
b) not much choice

Didn't get to go yesterday, am making it up today.
just gonna do a few sets of squats. REAL easy...

I also had an epiphany....I let too many outside distractions bother me when I'm in the gym...mainly other people.
Saw two girls at the squat rack...I know...rare...but it happened...then I was almost aroused to see them load up 135 on it...till I saw them do their sets....all partials. WTF???
It was annoying...to see them add more weight..one added knee wraps..and kept doing partials...then...a guy benching behind me had a serious left arm strength deficiency...you looked at the angle, you swear he wsa about to dump the bar...

then....it hit me:

I don't give a fuq about these people. Just hit my sets. Keep the motion conrolled and fluid. A couple months from now, I'll be using nice weights again...keep to myeslf.

Posted by: naturaltan

that's how it should be done - just keep it up Brother B

I've gone with 20 sec rest in between sets type routine. I do three sets. They aren't nearly my max, but I'm not out to impress anyone. In fact, as I keep doing this, the weights are going up. I take less time in the gym than most and will soon be back to my regular weights. Gotta love it.

Posted by: b_reed23

woohoo!!!!

Posted by: Burner02

so...B...went to your myspace....did NOT see the other hottie pics....

How's you?

Posted by: b_reed23

the other hottie pics are the other girls! lol..it's under Cody's birthday in Tunica

Posted by: Burner02

hey look....Billy's on top again....sha-wing!

ok..am gonna do a little something different...exercise... (thought I'd say it before anybody else said it...)

While...it's still nice out, I'm gonna bring my mtn bike to work and go hit the trails after work.
I'm gonna hit the gym on Sat and Sundays. (chest/delts/tris one day, Back/legs/bis the other) until the weather gets too cold, then go back to the gym during the week as normal.

so...yesterday was 1st day on my bike in the park...how'd it go? Let's just say that if someone had followed me around with a video camera, we'd have some great footage to sent to Americas Funniest Videos...

**There I was...
Almost decided against wearing my helmet...glad I DID wear it. Gravity was in FULL effect in the park yesterday...evidently, I still need to work on egressing my clip in pedals in times of duress...(I needed to put my foot/feet down real quick like and in a hurry and my mind forgot that I had to twist my feet laterally to unclick, resulting in my still attached to the bike as it fell over)
Only thing hurt was my ego. Luckily, I had yukka plants, rocks and scrub trees to break my fall...
:P

so...will be leaving the technical trails alone for a while.
...or just wear regular athletic shoes so I can use the normal pedal surface without clicking in to hit some of the trails...
so...it was sorta fun...will be better once I get the hang of it...

Mikey....

So glad to hear you are okay, so glad to hear things are looking up. So glad to hear you're back at the gym. Sounds like your attitude is looking up too.

I love your sig: "Nobody cares what you did yesterday or what you are going to do tomorrow. What is important is what you are doing NOW to solve our problem"

Posted by: Burner02

Posted by: Burner02

This is what I did this past weekend:
Lost Canyon Zipline Tour - Salida Colorado Zipline Tours
Good times!
The next 'adventure' is supposed to be sky diving if the weather cooperates...we'll see.
There was supposed to be a photographer on site...but he/she didn't show up...so no new photos of ol moi....
One funny thing...I, as usual...had my mind elsewhere while hiking between the zip lines...glad I had on the helmet...WHACK! right into a low pine tree branch...what can I say? I'm the source of amusement at any outing...
Don't believe me? Reference above for my falling over, still attached to my mtn bike...at least I'm consisstant...
supposed to be crappy weather today as per the weather man so I left the bike at home...and of course, its sunny....go figure...
