Not random numbers from a stale fortune cookie.
We found some 9mm on the cheap and have 500 rounds headed this way, email coupon took 5% off so it was about 27 cents a round. Not pre-panic pricing but still good. It's easy to shoot a few hundred at the range and I'm hoping to get out shooting next weekend. All sorts of people I know want to go shooting or want to learn how to shoot. None of them have purchased ammunition, perhaps they can say bang. Really loud.
I've run out of new books to read so I hit up Amazon for a few. It's fall (with a fast winter approaching), sometimes it's nice to curl up in front of the stove, hug a dog, and read.
I turned 41 this week and gave myself a really hard workout as a gift. Olympic style lifting is taxing on your entire body, my central nervous system is fried today after 4 bad ass days in a row. While it's not a competition, I look around at people my age and they usually look older and aren't in any kind of condition at all. I've been hitting the gym for a little more than a year and it's paid off. My running isn't what it used to be but it's hard to get that perfect balance. My resting heart rate is still low, my blood pressure is great, I feel good 95% of the time. I'm going to give 42 a run for it's money.
Tonight is a night off from the gym, it's our 18th Anniversary and we are going to dinner. Nothing fancy just some blue crab claws and salmon. We debated cooking and decided it's nice to let someone else do the dishes once in a while.
Not bad for a kid from the woods in New Hampshire.
Congrats on that 18th. it speaks highly of you both in this day and age.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt! We often kid each other and say we can't afford to be single (on our way to Starbucks of course).
DeleteHappy anniversary! I commend you for getting - and staying - in shape. It gets progressively more difficult as you get older; you can trust me on this.
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy now, I'm just stubborn and we both push each other to keep at it. I sort of miss the skinnier me who could run for 6+ hours but I just had to admit I wasn't good at it and it made me miserable until I went to bed.
DeleteI saw a cartoon my brother sent me about this. There was an old guy sitting in the doctors office, obviously in terrible shape. The doctor was saying "remember those extra years I promised you if you took care of yourself? This is them."
ReplyDeleteNo harm in trying, though.
I don't know about extra years, just want a fighting chance.
DeleteI hope you two had a nice anniversary, and congratulations on the conditioning. I took a brisk sit, yesterday. My doctor smiled.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephen, I figure everyone is good at something so I'll try and be good at working out.
DeleteHope you had a wonderful anniversary and may you have 18+18 more, at least! Happy birthday as well. You are still a pup and it's much easier to stay in shape than to try to get into shape. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure anyone could put up with me, so we shall continue to be happy and obnoxious together!
