2021-02-27

tons of pullups/dips throughout the day .. off/on during farm life. farmed ALL day.

also ordered literally $190 worth of flower seeds........... lmfao. but it's worth it. can't wait for this 2 lb thing of sunflowers+cosmos. says it's for the summer, but will try a few early.

i have tons of sunflowers growing at the moment.

i've been slowly building up the flower farm directly adjacent to the house, so i can easily water etc. going good so far.. every bed is PACKEd with wildflowers+sunflowers. not blooming yet, but growing fast.

exciting.

Today

Meditation 1 hr
Cycle commute - there's 1 big hill and it's starting to feel really easy haha, practicing it too much.
Really crazy week at work. 5 long (13 hour days) in 6 leaves so little time for anything else. Actually enjoyed it though, intubated my first icu patient today which was kinda cool. Non covid work coming back adding some variety too. Meditation is for sure making it a lot easier to deal with work and stress.

Long run tomorrow hopefully!

damn @ intubating someone..

good stuff man. that's nuts.

and enjoy that long run tmw! i consider that a form of meditation right there hah.

pc!

really good stuff in your log fooz .. love the detail, damn.

parents got a new dog on friday. her name is happy (for my mom's great aunt, and also short for happy trails). she is a good girl.

nice @ new dog. what breed did they get?

Yo congrats on the new house !!

yo FP!!! thanks alot man!

Sorry guess thats kind of old news but that backyard is.. nice.

yea it's kinda crazy hah. love it.

What kind of animals do you get out there?

none yet! 3 of my 4 adjacent neighbors have horses. one has goats as well.

going to start with chickens/goats most likely.

can't wait to get my own eggs!

going to go w/ golden comets.

That must be so cool to just have like a mini park to enjoy all for yourself whenever you want.

yea man i feel really lucky to have nabbed up this spot. it's EXACTLY what i was looking for.

was going to start with food farming (veg/fruit etc) .. but i've transitioned into flowers. in the process of creating tons of plots, throwing wild flower seeds everywhere. want to eventually sell the flowers to some local bouquet people etc, in order to get some $$ back. but mostly i'm doing it just because i love flowers, and want the property to look insane.

I bet you could do something awesome training related with all that space.

yea for sure. i haven't done anything "fun" yet, don't really plan to. i just use my rack for dips/pullups.

farm work itself is an amazing workout. soo.. i enjoy that.

So last time i was around you were pretty serious with the aerobics, have you hung up your running shoes for good? The dip pullup volume is pretty intense though

nah i've been running still, ~1x/wk. i got injured a few years ago, wrecked me bad. some hip injury. took a year to heal up to the point where i could jog slow without any pain.

feel like i'm 99% now .. but that 1% can easily cause a tweak. so, im just running light on trails, enjoying the scenery, snapping a few photos.

ya ive been doing pullups/dips mostly for teh physique benefits. it's def doing the job for now. should get on my rings eventually too.

pc man!!!
