Great benching. (I know you miss my meaningful contributions to gear lifting). All the work with the prowler has to give you some good stamina.
Harry, stamina is very good right now.
today’s conditioning consisted of 2 mile hilly walk, followed by 40 minutes behind the mower.
So Friday I got a call from my former boss, asking me if I wanted to come back to manage some projects as a sub. Lots of legal implications here from what I understand. Supposed to get more info in the next couple of days.

Hey - you and your wife should form a LLC with her having 51% ownership, then you can do business as a small, women owned company and get priority on government related contracts. Oh, wait - probably the wrong industry…
But seriously - do business as a Limited Liability Corp or something similar to help shield you from the legal fallout if something should happen.
good luck

There is a whole slew of issues surrounding me taking contract work, trying to consider them all. Before I say yes I am also trying to get some sort of forecast of volume. I know too well the ebbs and flows of that company, in fact I used to be the one who hired subs. Wouldn’t need them for a year, keep them busy for a month, then none for a year.
Great work benching Pete. Now all you need is to do this at a meet. 
And all would be good.
Fischer, funny stuff:)
interesting day today
no squatting tonight, wife came home and said she wanted me by her. some bodily stuff making her feel it might happen anytime
so when nothing happened (yet, still early) went to a parking lot and did prowler. borrowed a set of blast straps for drags and pulls, this is what I did:
backward drag, 90 lbs, 40 yards, four trips
forward sprints, 90lbs, 40 yards, 6 trips
This got a little of the training bug out of my system.
maybe I will post more later, but had an idyllic summer day with the kid. also resulted with 2 phone interviews and 1 live interview for tomorrow. That is about as much activity as I have seen in the last 7 months total.
It sounds like things are looking up. I am exciting for you with the young one almost here.
completed two phone interviews and one live interview today. One phone interview and the live interview should or could both lead to a very nice position. Should have follow up interviews on both by end of week or early next. The other phone interview was another ‘you’re overqualified’ one. Considering the difference in pay, they are right. Also got a call from a fourth employer. Things are really turning around, feeling much more hopeful.
Last night was my first missed scheduled workout in, oh, 3 years and 10 months. That was when my son was born. Missed sessions leave me ornery a fuck. Have been crabby ever since I shut down my ‘interview persona’. Hopefully get the next two days in the commercial gym in. Really looking forward to pulling on Thursday.
Did manage 30 minutes elliptical at the end of the day. That might have just added to my ‘training frustration’.
Glad things are moving for you on the job front and congratulations to you and your wife on the new baby.
Congratulations!
Hope everybody is healthy and sleeping well!
Picts?
Congratulations on missing training!
oh, and for the new kid, too
Hmm. I re-read Pete’s last post, and I don’t think congrats are in order yet. I could be wrong.
baby didn’t come yet, false alarm from the wife. but I still love her.

Do you know what your having A boy or a girl? Because I have two yard apes im about ready to trade.
bulldog, it is a boy. I am only capable of making boys, it appears. Actually holds true with my sisters as well, this will be my mom’s 8th grandson, no granddaughters…
what exactly is a yard ape?
2 mile walk today.
I discovered something recently. This dude jumped out of path of my dogs the other day and cried out “I am muslim, I can’t be touched by dogs.” Same thing happened today. hmmmm, nice knowledge.
Damn Jack, are those your beasts?
On a side note my American Bulldog recently discovered he can mimic sirens almost perfectly. It is effen hilarious. He is in his room right now mimicking what sounds like the wholes towns police and rescue squads.
