Thoughts on the Day

Today’s Workout –
- Using a bolo-style machete, cut down about 1/4 acre of tall, woody weeds.
  - Alternate between forehand and backhand strokes, 25 strokes per arm, per set, 50 sets
  - Works upper back, arms, and will get your blood pumping for a mild cardio workout.
- Prepare several raised beds for planting
  - Works on flexibility as you stretch and bend to get to the back of the second tier without crushing the bib lettuce that’s planted in the first tier.
- Cardio – Chase Siamese cat who has gotten out. This is a series of wind sprints, in which you move quickly to within a few feet of the cat, then approach cautiously. When you come within a foot or so of him, he will take off at a sprint, causing you to move quickly again and repeat the process. Do for one hour.
I took my boots in to be resoled today. The man at the repair shop spent five minutes trying to find a pair of soles that fit.
- Size 15 is not that big, I don’t care what anyone says.
Today, we acquired and planted the tomatoes, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and chilis.
I’m going to try growing potatoes vertically this year. Hopefully it works out.
- I planted a 4 foot by 2 foot bed, with 16 potatoes planted in it. Eventually it will be about 3 feet tall.
- If this works, I will do more beds next year and do several varieties of potatoes.
To sum up how I felt when I finished working today: I’ve been dirtier, more tired, and more sore. But it’s been a long time since I set those benchmarks.
