Full, wet, fun
On Friday after work I got inspired to do the fan location swap I talked about last week. It wasn’t hard but man was I sweaty from working in the high temperature, high humidity conditions. It was nice having a source of air flow over the furniture although the fan itself was not in great shape. The blades were starting to droop and it didn’t push tons of air, which triggered more action later.
I decided to do a live stream Friday night to talk about my latest impulse buy, a Veteran Patton euc. I plan to sell one of my other EUC’s to lighten the financial load but of course this was far from a must have buy. I talked about a number of other things as I drank four Cayman Jacks along the way.
On Saturday I decided that just moving the old fan wasn’t enough, I went to Home Depot and bought a new one. I am pretty sure it is the exact same model I bought and installed at my old house before moving. The install was relatively easy and the new 52″ fan has a bright LED light along with a more powerful motor that moves significantly more air than what it replaced. I was very pleased with my upgrade, especially after sitting on the couch without sweating my ass off.
During the afternoon I headed out to the swamp to get a ride in on the S22. When I left my house the skies looked menacing. When I got out to the swamp area it was even worse with dark clouds, rain and lightning nearby. I knew it was a dumb idea but I headed out anyway.
As expected I wound up getting soaked during the ride but the wheel held up well. When I got back to the truck I found my phone sitting on the bed rail of the truck where I mistakenly left it. It was soaked but luckily Iphone 14’s are pretty water resistant. The video captures the moments pretty well.
I had no real tasks on Sunday other than paying my bills which was nice. I went for yet another ride on the Greenway in the middle of the morning. It was a very enjoyable 10 or 11 mile jaunt.
I went over to the park to see if I could get some pickleball in later. The place was a ghost town with only 6 or 7 people using the courts. I wound up just doing some solo drills for maybe an hour.
During the afternoon I went to the gym at work since it is 24/7 access. I had the entire place to myself as I worked chest. One thing I have recently started doing is a heavy negative after I do my 1 rep max. It seems to be helping me as my 1RM has been inching upward over the last few weeks.
Sunday night I did yet another evening ride and again I enjoyed it. The area I live in has a bunch of roadways with a 25MPH speed limit and light traffic which makes for a very low stress experience, I love it.
