So, the plan was to work in the yard Friday night, but Chris wanted to go to town. We wound up doing just that and spending a fair amount of money, BUT... it was all on stuff we needed for the yard and such.
Saturday we had to hit the gym:
Pulled ME Sumo deadlifts all reset reps
135 x 8
225 x 5
315 x 3
405 x 3... so very slow
435 x 3... same speed as 405, but kept my form
455 x 3... form was off on first rep, good on second two; back started to hurt
475 x 3... ditto the above
500 x 1... Bent over a fair amount, but pulled with good strenght.
RSS, Cables, Pulldowns, SBCrunch, Bent Press and cardio on the bike because my back could not take the treadmill. A rough workout.
Chris and Nate had good workouts.
My back continues tobe an issue. It just pops out of place sometimes. May have to swap bench for squats to night in order to avoid further pain.
Date Night(afternoon)
We went to eat and see a movie Saturday afternoon. I will never be eating at Dick's Wings and Grill again. Last three times have been a dissappointment. The portions are small for what you pay and it took 30 minutes to get our food... with 5 tables in the whole joint occupied. I am a patient fellow, but it is just de rigeur with them anymore.
Went and Saw "The Hangover". B--: Very funny, but it was so promising in the beginning, then it unraveled. Seemed like it was going to a smart comedy, a la Wes Anderson, but did not fulfill. Well acted and shot, but descended into goofiness. Plus, I hate the hooker with a heart of gold character. Zach Galfinikis (sp) was brilliant. Danzig's "Thirteen" is featured in the Vegas opening... great song.
Yard Work
Got up early on Sunday to get started on the yard work. Were out in the shit by 8. finished up at noon. The good news is that we are finally done with the front of the property. Bab news is there were more frickin' bricks to contend with. With the boys help we are making progress.
Got a cool tool for a specific job and it works pretty well. Like a small pitchfork on a long pole, with bent tines, about the size and shape as a hoe. Got it to dig up the bulbs for the crazyassstickervine. As long as the buld is not wrapped in with roots, the thing workd great. Works for any bulb plant, but we need it for Crazyassstickervines.
"Merkaba"
Finished up Saturday and ran through my stuff on Sunday to be sure I was done. Wound up being just under 64K. Lots of holes, but the ending is strong. Gotta figure out where it is going. Looks like it is going to either be my shortest or longerst book to date. Debating on letting Chris read it. Afraid it does not make anysense.
"The Jug"
Had trouble getting to it this weekend but put down 2300 words Sunday, putting us over 20K. This is turning into a monster. I will never do a triliogy, but a quadrilogianay, that I might be willing to do.
Tonic Immobility
Blackmailed Logan into finishing a line edit. So, I will be starting my line edit based on his and Chris's feedback today. Scared. Have to get it down to 105K. Hopefully can have it done for readers by the end of July.
My BIL Josh has asked to read the draft that C and L have read, and I do have a copy, but it is flawed. This will be the first time I have looked at it in 4 months, I think. Fresh eyes. Hope it is a good thing. Nervous about Logan and chris's comments. Both are grammer nazi's and Logan has to pay me back for 18 years of brutal honesty.
The Broken Thread
Gage read it and seemed, or said, he liked it. He really liked the fact that it bounced around. Some people don't like that aspect of it.
Nate is reading it now.
Waiting on feedback from Gloria Dale, Mel, April and sister Kim. Its tough when you only sell 4 books. You have to worry about what everyone thinks.
