Work Outs: November 1 – 7, 2020 (My Garden of Nurgle)
I was hacking away in one corner of our property this past Monday, clearing out some of the blackberry bushes and the like, which will most certainly take over if you left them. Once I had things pruned back pretty well who did I see but my old friend, Shelf Fungus. “My how you’ve grown!”…

Work Outs: Oct 25 – 31, 2020 (SS Jeremiah O’Brien Liberty Ship)
We visited the liberty ship, SS Jeremiah O’Brien, in May 2013, which was named after a politician and businessman from Maine. It was (and still is) moored near Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, CA. These pictures have been languishing on my phone for all of these years, so I thought it might be nice to…

Work Outs: Oct 18 – 24, 2020 (Time of the Orange Sky)
As some of you might know, our general region was subject to a bunch of lightning strikes in late August, which resulted in a bunch of fires that were collectively named the CZU Lightning Complex Fires. I found this picture on my phone, which I took back on September 9th of the orange skies caused…

Work Outs: Oct 4 – 10, 2020 (The Land of the Messed Up Trees and my friend the rock)
I had a good week of workouts. I’m hoping to add more pulling work soon, though my latissimus dorsi have been getting fairly sore doing the current workouts. (I suspect is it because I’m making a point of doing the incline push-ups through a full range of motion as well as emphasizing the eccentric portion…

Work Outs: Sep 27 – Oct 3, 2020 (The Fence Made of Branches)
Our basement home gym is taking shape. We found a slightly used double cable machine for a good price, which will add a lot to the types of exercises we can do. Here is a picture of a fence made of dead branches along one of the trails in one of our favorite hiking areas.…

Captain of Crush Grippers
This post was originally on my now defunct workout blog. I decided to rework it a bit and present it here. I hope to get some painting done on Frank’s Pig Demon this weekend. My goal is to finish its trident and tidy up the base coat on the cloak and such. I added a…

Work Outs: Sep 20 – 26, 2020
I used to keep track of my workouts, before I was online, in three-ring notebooks, most of which were lost in the mists of time, flooded basements, cross-country moves and the like, though I still do have one from my early-80’s Army days that makes for semi-entertaining reading. With the advent of the internet in…

Gabby Novel: Night
I finished the next section of my novel, Gabby the Bug-Eyed Monster. The title of this section is Night. I decided to dispense with the idea of looking where I’d put the chapter divisions if the work were a traditional book. Instead I’m looking at each section on Wattpad as its own chapter. So this…
