30 July 2010: Swimming

1300 yards: 1050 free, 125 back and 125 breast. We waited out the storm and left to go swimming about 1AM. The frogs were having sex in the pool! We spent the first 30 minutes or so getting them out so we could swim. We ended up both cutting our hands on the net near the end.

CWMM Awards

My fav band, Iron Wranglers, were big winners at the Country Western Metal Music (CWMM) Awards. "Fire on the Levee" won best album, "Death Tractor" won best single and "Satan's Sunday Service" won best video. Awesome. I'm really looking forward to the next album, "Atomic Cattle Prod". Black work boots and the red Stetsons with the barbed wire jewelry are hot sellers here in S AZ.

Week Recap

Saturday: 1500 yards in the pool (1200 free, 150 back, 150 breast).

Sunday: 1500 yards in the pool (1200 free, 150 back, 150 breast).

Monday: Day off - ate Chinese Food from Golden Dragon

Tuesday: 1500 yards in the pool (1200 free, 150 back, 150 breast). The cold pool got it's own bug net. Excellent!

Wednesday: 550 yards (450 free and 100 back) until my right shoulder started bothering me. So, I walked about 800 in the pool. Exhibitionists 2 were in the hot tub and FFN was cruising the men's locker room in a pink Hawaiian shirt.

Thursday: Parts of SB1070 blocked. My friend Kenny retired today! Cardio and Weights: 1.25 miles on the treadmill including 0.5 miles jogging, bench press, squats, dead lifts, shoulder press, curls and wrist free weights, CYBEX leg press: 20 at 175. Mr. Ellipse was in the house and this loud girl sat on the CYBEX machine for about 20 minutes yakking to a Crocodile Dundee ("Oh my god", "Yeah mate"). Heavy rains started (Thunderbolts and Lightning, very very frightening) after we got to the pool and we got out of the club before the street flooded. Ate dinner from Beyond Bread, then went to sleep.

Thunder in the distance before and after swimming.

No one else was in the pool or hot tub while we were there. :-)

A tow truck came to the parking lot to rescue someone.

The battery in the emergency exit door is low and the alarm was chirping while we were there.

And a pickup truck took out a tree on the median divider coming south on Swan near Ft. Lowell on the way home.

1500 yards: 1200 free, 150 back and 150 breast.

The pool is warm enough now that we don't need to take a hot tub before swimming.

There weren't so many bugs in the pool, we were able to clear the lanes with the net.

There was no wind, but there were a lot of clouds.

Merger I'd like to see: Black Jack and Jack-in-the-box

01 July 2010: Cardio, weights and quote

Cardio and weights. 1 mile on the treadmill, 10 minutes on the bike, free weights (bench press, squats, dead lifts, shoulder press, curls and wrists) and CYBEX (leg press).
Mr. Ellipse was in the house, acting as weird as ever.
Rugger and his g/f were in the cardio room.

There was an excellent quote on the board the other day, "Reading a recipe is like reading science fiction: when you get to the end you think that’s never going to happen.". I checked online and this is apparently from Farmer John’s Vegetable Cookbook.
