Today has been a stressful day. I'm working a little harder than usual so I can get off early because I have to go to the DMV, it's about that whole ticket thing from New Years Day.

I've also been on the phone arguing with the Home Owners Association AND the attornyee that they've hired to sue me for back fees. Luckily I have copies of the checks that I paid them with back in '06 and '07. These guys are really Jackholes I tell ya.

Also the AC is out in my company vehicle and that sucks when it's 80 and humid.

Also my headache is back and the sunlight hurts my eyes. Arggghhh!

Head Aches, Muscle Soreness, And The Moon

Today I woke with my head pounding. I didn't know where I was when the alarm went off, but I had my wits about me enough not to shut it off, and thus, got myself up to visit the gym. Ugh. Headache and muscle soreness makes for a lousy workout, but I knew that if I didn't hit it, I would be kicking myself later.

It's such a relief seeing most everyone from JS here at Bolgspot. It makes this place feel a little like home away from home. I need to get around to reading all of you now that I've found you.
I don't like the fact that you can't bookmark comments... or can you? I always like to go back and see if there was a reply. I understand that this place doesn't have a PM feature either, but that doesn't bother me since I rarely used it anyway. That being said, if you need to get anything to me, you can email me at kingofpain35 at yahoo dot com. (thanks, Maurita.)

And last, but not least, last night I got a better shot of the moon. It's a still a little blurry, but is my best capture so far. The tripod helped.

In The Gym And Bovine Intimidation Tactics

Yesterday, I started my training in earnest. I hit the gym at 5am and did a full body workout until I felt like I was going to puke. Yeah, overdid it a little, but all was well and I didn't blow chunks all over the new carpet there. This morning started a little differently with a 3 mile run on the treadmill. It felt pretty good considering I haven't ran since my knee injury and subsequent surgery back in September. After that, I lifted weights again. I'm really just working on strength, light weight, high reps, so I think I should be able to hit it every day with no worries.

Anyway, it really felt good to get back in there. From the second level where the machines are, I looked down through a window and saw my swimming buddies doing their laps. I'll be back at that in a couple of weeks I suppose, after I get my lungs and legs back.

Moving on...


This is another photo from our adventure across the Texas countryside on new years Day. These ladies really were protective of their young. The calves were wanting to get a closer look at us too, but they were all veeeeery suspicious of us.

An Old House

On New Years Day, Amy and I rode around the country side on a four-wheeler with our cameras in our backpack. It was so fun and relaxing. Here is a photo of an abandoned house of some sort that just had a creepy feel to it, that could have been brought on by the huge buzzard resting on the roof. I managed to capture him in the tree just above. Kewl.

It Got Erased

Yesterday's entry was accidentally erased by my loving but un-internet-savvy Amy, so this is all you get...
