The Meltdown - Pylon's Journal V 3.0

Triple Threat · 06-23-2006, 07:29 PM

Oh sure, try to hide from me by starting a new journal.

Keep tearing it up on the field.

Pylon · 06-24-2006, 08:25 PM

Hey trips! Good to see ya!

OK, rough day in the yard. Working on tearing out part of a fence. Brutal. Just as good as gym time, IMO.

Clean on diet today. Will get measurements and pics in the AM.

DeadBolt · 06-26-2006, 09:47 PM

Oooof yard work sucks heh!

Yea I had a fire today right after the gym so I counted it as cardio

So, yes, I have them. Yes, happy to return them. Yes, should play r-ball sometime. Let me get my schedule figured out for the next few weeks and we'll find a time.

No big deal, I was just thinking about them and forgot what I had done with them, as long as I know where they are!!! Let me know your schedule!!!

Pylon · 06-27-2006, 06:55 PM

Hey kids,

Sorry for the disappearing act. I went to Colorado on a one day trip that turned into an overnight trip, but forgot my laptop. Ugh. Back for a day before headed to New Orleans.

On the plus side, kept diet clean on the road (not perfect, but way improved.) Also did an hour on the bike Sunday nite before leaving and 45 min on a bike at the hotel. Will be riding again tonite for an hour.

Devlin · 06-27-2006, 07:04 PM

Great job with the diet. Cardio is looking good in here.

Pylon · 06-28-2006, 09:11 AM

Thanks Dev.

Got in my hour last night as well. Time flies when you're playing NHL 2K5.

Pylon · 06-29-2006, 06:26 AM

No cardio last night. Late dinner, so I took the night off. Headed to NOLA this morning, but I packed my laptop, so I'll be checking in from the road...

Archangel · 06-29-2006, 04:07 PM

Have a safe trip!!!

Pylon · 06-29-2006, 07:32 PM

Howdy from the south!

got in and got my meeting done, but stuck here until Saturday, staying down in the quarter. (yeah, I know, poor me, right?)

Anyway, the hotel we are sent to (new lodging program at work) is ok, but has no parking at all, and the fitness room is well stocked, but closed. The equipment looks fine (has a bike, tread, universal and hot tub!) but they are using to store what I assume are moldy carpets. Should be REALLY nice when they open it back up.

Anyway, went for a jog, did about 1.3 miles (had to check it afterword on my map program, so it's an estimate.) Man, I lost a lot of endurance. It'll come back tho.

OK, cleaning up and heading out to dinner. The upside is to get anywhere (meaning the quarter), it's at least a half mile walk, so it's like extra cardio! Woohoo!

Devlin · 06-29-2006, 09:01 PM

Glad to hear you made it there safely. Nice job on the cardio. The endurance will come back, probably quickly too.

Let's hope so. I am running again in the morning, thanks to a packing error. I forgot my deodorant (and down here, you need it!) I figure rather than ask for a little stick at the front desk, I'll take a job down to the drug store to start the day.

Pylon · 06-30-2006, 07:06 AM

The jog this morning was about 1.4 miles. I learned something while I was out. NOLA in the morning is unbarable if you aren't still drunk. The place reeks, the air quality is poor, and the streets are disgusting. Add in everything that went down last year, and it's plain old depressing. At least at night it's not as hot.

Pylon · 06-30-2006, 01:20 PM

Well, the road life has been ok so far today. Had a nice lunch at Red Fish (they have a good salad of bibb lettuce, grapes, oranges and a lime-pomegrante dressing), shrimp tomato bisque and grilled fish tacos (left the torilla on the 2nd one untouched) with black beans. And the company pays for it. Not a bad gig.

Followed lunch with a 1hr+ stroll around the quarter in the Nawlins heat. Not too taxing, but it'll work up a sweat in a hurry. Hiding in the AC now, polishing up my resume. Good times...

Triple Threat · 06-30-2006, 06:25 PM

NO in the summer, huh? Piss somebody off?

Pylon · 06-30-2006, 09:42 PM

Actually, I had to meet with a vendor who hates me on top of everything. so yeah, I guess someone's got me on their shit list. (Did I mention the resume polishing?)

Not to mention (and this is a bit self centered) that no one has said a word to me about finishing my MBA. I mean, they paid for it, you'd think there would be some kind of recognition, even just an attaboy...

Double D · 07-02-2006, 08:06 AM

You play slowpitch. Awesome another slow pitch fanatic! I love it. We just played yesterday and we absolutly killed everyone. We played in a tournament in Illinois. We never got beat and the least we beat a team was by 9 runs. Do you play asa, isa, nsa, u trip? If so what classification?

Archangel · 07-02-2006, 09:53 AM

Man, all this talk about softball now I wanna play!!!
Hope your trip is good, your weekend is Great, and your 4th is Safe!!!

Just co-ed rec league, nothin too serious. I'm too old for that stuff. OK, not too old, just not good enough.

Yeah, that's how I look at it too. I've been kinda grumpy in the office since, but no one has bothered to ask why. Now I get the joy of spending this week in a mass cleaning operation in the building. Goody.

Pylon · 07-03-2006, 11:02 AM

In other news....

Got my grades in. All A's, so I am official. I should be picking up my diploma Friday.

Did a full day of manual labor (pulling fence posts, trimming hedges, handing pegboard in the garage, and sanding doors) followed later by an hour on the bike. I'm still tired today!

Have the day off. Working on a chicken salad recipie I found using NF yogurt in place of mayo, with grapes, walnuts, and curry. If it's good, I'll post it later.

Picked up a slip and slide for the boy. We've been playing on it all morning. They got smart and added and inflatable section for the sliding, plus a splash pool. Everyone should get one!

Be back later!

	Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results 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 THE
