What’s your Maine plan??

 

I'm going up to the St. John headwaters on Friday morning. It'll be a white T3 with a snorkel and cap and a cav blue trd pro 4R.

 

Biddeford and OOB - family. Nothing exciting, I might break the rules and go get some pizza at the pier but otherwise we're bringing all our crap with us and not venturing.

 

Don’t forget the pier fries!

 

Sneaking across the Southern Maine border like an illegal to spread 'rona all willy-nilly at my inlaws OGT place.

 

Never was a huge fan of them. They're good, but I don't usually "levitate" toward fries, regardless.

 

That's not even Maine.

 

Also cleaning out my garage to prep for the install of a 10' rig. My wife is like a facebook marketplace genie. Found a used Again Faster rig for decently cheap money. Going to pick it up today. It's got 14' tall uprights which i'll need to cut down, but that's not a big deal. Need to actually clean out my garage so we have room for it, our rower/ bike erg, barbells, bumper plates etc... pumped since the garage has just turned into a storage dump for all the kids shit. Now it will finally be useful again since our SUV's don't fit in it.

This one:

 

Hey now.............(Yeah.....)

 

I mean isn't that how Mills views any resident of Mass?

 

I have a feeling a lot of home gym equipment like racks/rigs will start being up for sale soon now that things are opening back up

 

Sweet thanks man!

 

That's what we're thinking. This is a $1,600 rig that i'm picking up for $650. And it's got this giant muscle up outrigger setup bolted to it that i'm gonna mount on some 6x6's behind by house for a rope climb/ muscle up rig. I actually picked up an old concept 2 model C rower for cheap 2 weeks ago, and with a $55 kit from concept 2 upgraded all the internals to the same shit as the newer rowers. All new chain, handles, bearings, axles, sprocket, pulleys etc.. So a basically brand new rower for about 40% the cost of new all in with replacement parts. Waiting on prices of dumbells to go down, or for Rogue to just re-stock the 5-50# rubber hex head set. People are trying to get retarded money for them right now.

 

Free appetizer!

Unfortunately, heading to a small funeral this weekend. My grandmother passed away over the weekend so they're doing a small gathering that I guess we could call a 'funeral'. We did our camping trip up to Plattsburgh last weekend, had a nice 4 day weekend.

Hell, that's still how I view most MA residents! (although for a different reason)

 

Jealous of that. I'm looking to upgrade my rack next but wont be going full on rig.

What'd you decide one for programming?

 

Not sure yet. Between Mayhem and Linchpin. Honestly leaning towards Mayhem as I like doing strength cycles, working a strength portion into the session before metcon a few days a week.

Our first box switched to traditional programming like Linchpin maybe 2 years after we started and we weren't a fan of it. Then again they changed to target much broader audience which we also didn't care for. We'll probably give each a month or and see which we like better. It'll probably take me a week or 2 to get the rig installed. I've got clean the basement and cut it down to size. It's 14' tall and I only have 9' ceilings.

 

Full on rig was my wife. I wanted a compact folding rig, or just a smaller wall mount slim rig. She wanted a full power cage or a giant wall mount setup like this. She wants to have at least 2 squat stations and multiple pull up stations. I'm still going to have to make another squat station with this rig. But i'm cutting 5' off the top of the 3 uprights, so i'm thinking i can fire up the ole flux core and booger weld a small squat stand out of the excess.

 

Effing chores.

Wife said the dishwasher hasn't been draining. I asked if she's been rinsing her plates off well enough

Spoiler

 

Don't she know you gotta wash the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher?
