More gym observations, tile marathon

A lot of people that go the gym are vain to some degree. I mean why else do you go to the gym except to make your body look better? I surely have a degree of vanity with the emphasis I put on staying in shape. But today I saw a guy that was just ridiculous. He was in decent shape, nothing amazing by any stretch. But this guy would do his 30 second set and then spend his 2 or 3 minute recup time doing nothing but flexing in the mirror and admiring his physique from all possible angles. He didn’t just do this once, everytime after every set. I look in the mirror when I want to watch my range of motion on an exercise but never have I done a pose down. It looked really stupid and made the guy come off as a total dweeb to me. Talk about loving yourself… Soon I’ll give my spin on the few “excessive grunters” we have wandering around as well as the techo-dance music selections that certain counter people seem to think we enjoy.

Every night this week we have been working on the tile project in the kitchen. We are well over half done in there and hope to get a bunch more laid tonight. Last night I also had my first experience with self leveling mortar. I used it to smooth out some of the canyons in the floor. Worked well. I am over the inital shock of having the kitchen all ripped up. My insitinctive reaction to want to get it all done quickly is what caused me so much drama on Sunday. Now that I am ok with doing what I can in a steady and thorough process, I feel much better. I think it will look really sharp when it is done. I am accumulating in progress pics of the work but wont post them until it’s done.
