16 April 2010: Muffin Top's Radio Dedication

Dear Casey,
I'd like to dedicate "Feel Like a Monster" by Skillet to myself!
I had a really bad day at Da Gym. I hogged the cardio machines, cutting in and out of the Cybex circuit, slamming weights, grunting, leaving the machines sweaty, leaving weights on the equipment, leaving my towel on the floor in the shower, racing a senior citizen on the Cardio machine, dropping my Mars bar on the carpet and leaving it there to melt, letting mosquitos in the weight room, and taking a hot tub in my gym clothes.
I am going to "Gym Therapy", but right now I really Feel Like a Monster.
Will you please play this song for me?
Thanks,
Muffin Top

Truly Nolen VW

08 April 2010: Da Gym: Episode 6

Special Guest Stars: Candid Camera and Zo Carroll and the Soul Breakers

Candid Camera (CC) sets up two Photo Enforcement Vans just outside the Club on Friday night before the Barbeque. The Vans flash every car that goes in and out of the Club and no one can figure out why they are getting ticketed.

CC is laughing until the Citizens Against Photo Enforcement (CAPE) make an Intervention. A "Truly Nolen" VW pulls into the parking lot and a Citizen sets up laser designators on both Vans. Then, he takes off for the River.

The CAPE Cobra Helicopter swoops in low over the western notch in the Catalina Mountains, drops green smoke over the Club to signal the Intervention and turns around and fires two Hellfire knock off missiles at the Vans, destroying both of them, and creating two bonfires in the parking lot. The Cobra flies out to the River, picks up the Citizen and high tails it back to the CAPE Compound.

The party moves from the Pool to the parking lot. Everyone get a skewer and roasts weiners. Zo Carroll and the Soul Breakers sing "Light My Fire"

In the interview, Candid Camera says, "Those guys are really mean".

Diver was swimming fly in the pool and splashed water all over the deck. A new guy ("Under Armor") wearing all Under Armor gear with an Under Armor bag did a one lap circuit of the entire free weight room! Annoying! Miss Anorexia AZ 2010 was sitting on the stationary bike reading a Diet Magazine. And, finally, another guy ("Dumbell") was walking laps around the gym, all over, carrying dumbells, bumping into things and tripping over stuff. I guess he couldn't remember where the dumbell rack was!

Then, I went home and had Super Soup with Susan. :-)

29 March 2010: Annoying behaviors

The big pool was open, but it was really cold, so we swam in the small lap pool. It got really cold at the end, cold enough for the Matrix Coats. Then we went home and had pizza, salad and Tofutti Ice Cream :-).

Treadmill, bicycle, Cybex (leg press, calves, pull down, chest pull) and Free Weights (bench press, shoulder press, pullovers, squats and dead lifts ).

15 March 2010: Power Blackout

There was a power blackout in our neighborhood tonight. We decided not to go to the gym because the garage door was open. So, we're going tomorrow.

Susan made Super Spaghetti while I held the flashlight. Of course, the power came back on right after we finished eating.

Then, we took a walk around the neighborhood. Two Tucson Electric Power trucks stopped near us on the other side of the road and we talked with the guys. They told us that a rat, who was foreclosed on and evicted from his rat hole, had eaten through the wires in the box up the street and got electrocuted. We walked by another power box that was beeping.

The stars were really bright tonight. It was windy and clear. The city lights, in the distance, were really nice too.

Tomorrow, I am going to the hardware store to get some more batteries and a flashlight light bulb.

14 March 2010: Swimming

1950 yards: 1675 free, 175 back, 50 breast and 50 fly. I did just over 6000 yards this weekend! :-). I need a new cap and goggles and I am going to get some paddles too.

2300 yards: 2000 free, 200 back, 50 breast and 50 fly. I took my long "Matrix" coat tonight so I didn't get cold walking to/from the lap pool.

I felt the water spilling out of my left hand when I was pulling tonight, so I moved my thumb and little finger to keep the water in. It felt like it was chattering when I was pulling.

We finished just in the nick of time again tonight. Breather was going out of the men's locker room when I was coming back.

But, then there was a guy in the hot tub who was checking out my speedo when I walked in. And then two skanky girls came in wearing some really bad smelling perfume. Annoying. :-(.

After swimming, Susan and I went home and had tofu, vegetables, rice and kiwis. She added sugar to my kiwi. :-)!!!!!

12 March 2010: Swimming

2100 yards: 1800 free, 200 back 50 breast and 50 fly. Tonight was the first time we swam in the lap pool and the first time I did more than 2000. :-). They Club heated up the lap pool so that it was warm enough to swim in while they finish re-coating the deck around the big pool. The water in the lap pool is much cleaner and the lights are much brighter. Also, there are backstroke flags so that I don't have to do a crash test to find the end of the lane. :-(.

I am going to try to get more than 5000 this weekend. This is the last weekend before the Club starts the Friday night BBQs. The pool is the main attraction for the BBQs, it's totally full and kids are doing cannonballs all night. There are 3 cover bands that rotate (Roadhouse and Tumbing Dice are two of the bands). And the pool and hot tub are a mess after the BBQ is over.

We finished just in the nick of time tonight....Breather did his first lap just as we were getting out. Breather doesn't put his face in the water and makes this whining sound all the time he is swimming. Annoying!!!!.

"Mr. Ellipse Machine was in the free weight room doing bar dips for a while. He is the most annoying person in the gym. :-(. Then, he left and got on.......the Ellipse Machine!!!!!! :-).

28 Feb 2010: Swimming

1600 yards: 1350 free, 150 back 50 breast and 50 fly. I swang (?) my arms wider for backstroke and seemed to go faster. It got cold at the end of the swim again.

I pushed the seat back on the Cybex leg press and was able to do 250 lbs. :-) The Cybex machine made a funny sound, like something from a horror movie. :-(. I also watched Olympic Curling on the Big Screen TV, instead of Nancy Grace/Where's Caylee?. :-)

1500 yards: 1200 free, 200 back 50 breast and 50 fly. After swimming, Susan and I watched the Olympics on the Big Screen TV at the Club.

The sweaty guy with the discolored tank top who didn't wipe down the machine after he used it (Gross!) and the two women who were sitting on the Cybex machines yakking were really annoying. :-( But the strongest guy in the weight room was really quiet, so the stupid boys in the room didn't start getting loud. If the quiet guy wasn't there, it would have been like this:

Stupid Boy 1: You can do it man!
Stupid Boy 2: Oh man, this much is going to kill me
1: You can do it man
2: Ugggh (weight still on the floor)
1: Do it!
