Who's a Fat Bastard - Counting Steamboats

July 22, 2014

     For the first time in years, I didn't wear a watch. Time went on it's merry way without me. Time didn't give a rats ass if I knew it was passing or not. That's the thing about time, the second you know what time it is, it isn't that time anymore. I was astounded by the freedom being timeless gives you. I had several things I wanted to do and I got them all done. I probably only looked at the white spot, where my watch used to be, three hundred times. 
     I wanted to do my workout so I made time to do it. I didn't set a time later on, I just did my workout. I don't know why I keep showing you the pictures of me doing the same workout day after day. I'm not sure if I do it for you, so you can see that I do it, or for me so I can believe that I'm doing it. This is by far the longest I have ever stuck to anything. I started in the stairwell as I do every time for my four stair stretch. 
I'm a Dandy Yank my Doodle
     Five sets each leg, twenty toe touches each set. I usually bash my knuckles on the railing two or three times each set.
     Moving into the Green Room I set up the camera for my crunch photo. Still looking for that flattering angle.

     This is not it! This was also when I really missed my watch. I use the stop watch function for my rest period of thirty seconds. Now I had to wing it. I started out counting steamboats. You know one steamboat, two steamboats, three steam....get my drift. That lasted one set! From then on, as soon as it stopped hurting, I did ten more. I did my one hundred crunches and probably faster than I normally do with my stopwatch.
     Homeland, season two, episode two and the Iron Maiden await me.
Homeland....twisted
      I think my butt is finally getting the best of the Maiden. Fifty minutes of Homeland on Netflix a couple of Daily Show compilations and the workout is done. If anyone is looking for a very good series to watch Homeland is blowing me away. Which is a lot easier since I am down thirty pounds. Damn Cruise Ship!
Big Squatch, Big Wet Squatch!
Time for Brunch! Or is it? I don't know. I'm not wearing a watch! I'm just doing it free form. Kind of like interpretive dance. 
Blunch....see if it catches on
          This is my free form brunch. Notice the Avocado playing googly eyes with the tomato! 
     Time is on my side, and since I was already sweaty, I decided to do the yard. I wanted to weedwack first but my shoulder wouldn't let me get it started. So I mowed, and mowed and mowed some more.

 Mowing
Happy Lawn Boy


Still  mowing


That's just the front. The back has the obstacle course set up.
 And of course more mowing!
After I finished the lawns, and that's a lot of lawns, I had a quick shower and went to visit Momma Lee. I try to see her every day. I took Nutmeg and Elvis with me. That always gets all the old gals going. It was social hour when we got there. Lots of cheezies to use as dog bait!

     Nutmeg can't wait to get on Momma Lee's knees, while Elvis stands guard. We spend half an hour socialising then I wheeled Momma Lee out to the courtyard and ditched her.
     It seems like weeks since I walked Como Lake Park. That's because it has been weeks! Elvis and Nutmeg like it.

And I do too. It's one kilometre around the lake and we went around three times today.
 Contemplation.
 Beauty
Fishing 
    
 Lot's of people using the lake and lots of dog butts to sniff. Not me , the dogs. We had a nice butter chicken for dinner. Lisa had hers with rice and peas, I ate mine like soup and then had a salad. 
     Lisa was in bed by 7:00 and her call is at 3:00 am. I sat around till I was ready to blog and voila! 
     I would like to thank everyone for their continued support and good wishes. I don't really know where I'm going with this, or how long I can keep it up. If I don't figure out something cool to do for Lisa's 50th birthday on August 1 it won't matter. She'll kill me!!!

That's all I got.
Till next time
Peace Out Y'all
