So what is everyone else doing with their time?

I’m waiting until just about sun up to go walking with my pack for a couple hours. Hopefully not too many people will be out this early.

Later I’ll probably perge all my fat clothes.

Then will take an online mixology course.

 

A whole lotta nothin.
Yesterday my mom came down and brought some dog food and frozen chicken she got at Costco for us since ours is always out. Also brought the golf whiffle balls my dad has and never use. So I took a piece of Astro turf and put a few buckets in the garage and practiced my chipping lol

 

4 mile walk this morning then was able to get home and mow my backyard. Had to go slow but was able to make it pain free. Pretty excited. Every day I can do more and more.

The rest of the day will be dedicated to icing the knee and drinking beer.

 

Fishing

 

Brian Shaw's new strongman shop just launched. Got some decent looking stuff so far. I ordered a shirt and some new wrist wraps cause mine are shit

 

And drinking right?

 

@rngr

You are probably the man to ask. I’m chillin out by my pond watching all the turtles come out and sun bathe.

Where do they go in the winter when the water is all iced over?

 

They hibernate under the water. They will wiggle down into the soft mud. Their metabolism drops to almost nothing. They absorb enough oxygen through their skin to keep them alive. Pretty neat.

 

Sweet! So they hibernate essentially?

 

Exactly

 

Didn’t know you were such a herpetologist

 

Indeed!

 

Awuh!



So we had snakes last year. Husband freaked out KILL EM!
I said no they eat spiders. He said I’ll divorce you if you don’t kill em.
Ok fine.
Late last year there was the biggest fucking spider I’ve ever seen in my laundry pile last year. I almost got my gun... not even kidding.
I was threatened with divorce because I was nagged to spray the house with Home Defense but got too lazy and it lead to this.
Well if we kept the fucking snakes...

 

I know how the brown snake feels.

 

Got any as pets? Are Hognoses around your area? I love snakes

 

So some cool stuff coming from this quarantine is all the top level strongmen are on their steroid cycles and have no competitions to compete in... So instead of wasting the gains they are trying to break current records.

Thor is going to try 501kg deadlift and Luke Stoltman is going to try for the log press record. I expect more will come out trying at world records soon.

 

Snakes are cool. Spiders are cool if they aren’t on me.

Technically, yes. They do occur here, but I’m such low frequency I’ve never seen one in the wild.
