    No way I would ever use the political face if I didnt have to.

    Every time I give normies a chance to be friends they wind up doing something spiteful. I don't forgive that. Then it turns into who is willing to go the distance with the spite and I am already cleaning up blood before they decide how far they will go and who the hell needs that shit?
    I totally get that.. I think for me as well there’s the I don’t want to put any effort any more into building new relationships with strangers in real life... because unless it’s maybe someone at the gym or looks like they at least go to the gym or has a bunch of scars on their body, chances are it’s going to build a friendship/relationship with someone else who I don’t have anything in common with... I bond through common interests.. let’s go to the bull rider practice arena and watch. Let’s go surf. Let’s go to the gym. Let’s cut loose last second and go camp a night in the woods... let’s talk body building, health, bro science, just life shit... let’s eat bbq and discover better ways to make our food taste better lol...

    That’s what makes it so simple in the forums. We already are able to bond over common interests. Personalities mashing together is just secondary... but it’s not the same in real life... we all already have our space here and we can come and go as we please. We can respond when we are able. Not really obligated or there’s no real set expectations..

    So it’s having to put in more work to meet new people to try to find the common ground in which to build... it’s a lot of work imo... and I hate wasting time. Im tired of making friends who are only temporary and not in for the long haul anyway. I have my handful who are. We are like family. Pick up where we left off no matter how much time goes by. No riffs, no resentments, just able to exist and everyone be totally fine with each other...

    Some days I want to put in the work and meet new people... most other days I just don’t want to put in the effort..

    But like you I have my hats I can wear and no one would be the wiser.

    Sun rises a little earlier than I expected.. I would literally need to start at 330ish am to hike to my normal watch the sunrise spot... which means I’d have to be up by 130 to leave my house by 230... not going to fit my schedule lol.. so I just got an easy quickie hike in and headed home for some left overs... took it easy today and finished up loose ends on chores from yesterday and then headed off to hang out with the kiddos at my adopted sisters house. They sure have a way to take over my brain and I’m no longer stuck thinking about my shit. They slam me right into the present, into the here and now in an instant... funny how that works and how much life is just simple and good when focused on the now.

    Ready for the week, bring it on..

    Got my sleep doctor and study from after work until Tuesday morning. I’m sure I’ll have time to come log at least ;0)

    what seems like a different lifetime ago I was a pretty good Pipefitter and Boiler man myself (commercial hvac jobs mainly).. so we got something somewhat in common. ran my own company for 18 years. total respect for guys like you that work hard blue collar jobs and skilled trade jobs and still make it to the gym, train hard, and stick to your meal plans. its not easy to do.

    I would never be able to put on size spending 10 hours a day installing boilers and laying pipe all day (I have no clue how the hell Obs got so big doing the job he does as well,, hard ass work to work all day hard labor and still be able to grow)

    I hit a wall. Weighed myself at 230 with a fullbelly.
    Feel depressed. Work keeps pushing harder as it gets hotter. Pissed at this barrier feel like a little bitch, want to runaway and join the circus.

    Hell yeah brother! Pipefitters a pipefitter. You know it is ;0)

    That’s what’s weird though for me... if I eat 3k calories a day, with full 8-10hour work day, with gym time... I gain bf back so quick... but I’ve never been really big either though muscle-wise...

    Brother Born is not of this world...

    Glad to hear business picked up, sorry to hear you’re mentally paying for it though... I’m sure your water is drained and anything muscle will bounce right on back... if you joined the circus, you must get me a midget!

    Got the day handled today. Met with a fire Marshall for a few hydrants to flow test for the county. He was cool AF, haven’t met this guy before. It’ll be good to have a guy like this in my corner. He’s by the book like I like, but he’s open to hearing options and the reasoning behind the thinking... because book or no book, the authority having jurisdiction, has the final say..

    It felt good hauling the gear around and getting a workout on. I realized how out of shape I’ve gotten in such a short time... how aggravating is that? We work our asses off and can lose our ground in just 4-5 weeks time lol.. moral of the story, gotta stay consistent. Maintain it or lose it.

    Got to the gym. Felt great. Went ahead and bumped up the weight to test things out. Stuck to the movements I know don’t hurt my stomach. Still gotta stay good for just a little while longer.

    I’m ready to blast off again. Time to put together the game plan and get my ass in gear to prepare ;0)

    Hope everyone’s had a kick ass day today and having a rocking badass week so far!


    Daily gratitude item:
    Grateful for my shoes, boots and workout shoes... grateful that I’m in a place today in life that I can afford such luxuries. I realize how much I have taken this for granted and haven’t really given this much thought until now.

    Got the day handled today. Met with a fire Marshall for a few hydrants to flow test for the county. He was cool AF, haven’t met this guy before. It’ll be good to have a guy like this in my corner. He’s by the book like I like, but he’s open to hearing options and the reasoning behind the thinking... because book or no book, the authority having jurisdiction, has the final say..

    It felt good hauling the gear around and getting a workout on. I realized how out of shape I’ve gotten in such a short time... how aggravating is that? We work our asses off and can lose our ground in just 4-5 weeks time lol.. moral of the story, gotta stay consistent. Maintain it or lose it.

    Got to the gym. Felt great. Went ahead and bumped up the weight to test things out. Stuck to the movements I know don’t hurt my stomach. Still gotta stay good for just a little while longer.

    I’m ready to blast off again. Time to put together the game plan and get my ass in gear to prepare ;0)

    Hope everyone’s had a kick ass day today and having a rocking badass week so far!


    Daily gratitude item:
    Grateful for my shoes, boots and workout shoes... grateful that I’m in a place today in life that I can afford such luxuries. I realize how much I have taken this for granted and haven’t really given this much thought until now.

    Word to the wise... Never use a cordless impact on the bottom flange for mueller hydrants or extension risers. I have snapped several lol

    Like the gratitude item as always.

    I have installed a few hundred hydrants.
    Hated leveling them but damn I was good at it.
    Me and boss alone would do four in a day sometimes on new install.

    Meanwhile a crew of four jagoffs would get one done.
    I always built them to the line "tee" outside the hole and set them all at once with a trackhoe.

    Other idiots were scared of fkin up on measurements and piece by piece put them together in the trench.

    I never had a leak on new install of any water main.
    We were the first crew to leave a job in Gladstone without a leak in 13 years. We repeated that on every job including KC ductile iron. I was eccentric.

    Btw the milwakee fuel 1/2 inch bushless impact with 5.0 lithiulm ion batteries is the greatest impact I ever found for that work.

    They would run a 5 gallon bucket of bolts to 180ft lb or higher with less than two batteries. I soaked them in sandy and muddy water every day and put them up wet and they would not die. Miracle machine.


    I was better at that job than any employed position I ever had. They should have paid me in pussy and gear bonuses.

    Lol @ busting flanges... I swear we are from the same cloth lol... I’ve yet to get to tap into an under ground main to either feed a hydrant or even feed a new building for the fire riser I install... out here only the city is allowed to touch the mains... so they tap them, stub them up and then I get to take over. Every tap has to have a gate valve after it. Which obviously I don’t mind since I gotta install after lol... but I end up putting 2 os&y valves with a dang double check back flow between in the fire vault, then a butterfly valve on the inside of the building on the riser itself... then over to their required gate valve after the tap... it’s crazy.. one effin line...

    I couldn’t imagine running a line up from the underground tap that you had to level lol... that pipe is seriously the heaviest friggin pipe known to man... I can’t lift a 10’ stick by myself... I tried and thought I was going to blow out my butthole lol... it’s my goal though... just to show the others who’s the mule of the bunch lol

    I’ve actually and seriously was just eyeballing the Milwaukee!! Today at the shop!! I’m so tired of the dewalts.. I break 2 a year easy... just through simple concrete I have to drill my anchors into...

    Another ass kicking day in the books. Flying high and on top of my game. I swear the ability to go to the gym directly affects my mental well being... I need that escape so much. I did not realize just how much though... how I feel this week compared to just 2 weeks ago, night and day difference..

    Hammered through my day, then got in some shoulders and back and allowed myself to up the weight. I feel amazing. I feel worn out. But I feel friggin amazing. I’m amazed at the human body and it’s intricate design. It’s healing capabilities and every tiny thing that goes into its functioning... just plain wow man..

    Get three 5.0 batterys. They hold charge twice as long as the standard 4.0's and they have a lot more ass.

    We put these things through hell turning buckets of 1-1/4" t-bolts every day.

    I would have water blowing out the cooling vents in the sude and they just would not quit.

    Only one that broke we snapped the chuck off of so that tells you how powerful they are.

    No dewalt can touch them.

    Some ductile iron and some poly.

    A 20' stick of 6" dia concrete lined ductile iron weighs 440-480lbs
    There is a huge variance because it is crudely made.

    I screwed my back up lifting an 8 inch diameter 20 foot stick of c-900 poly.

    Only about 250 lbs.
    I lifted it without stiffening my core.

    That was.... 8 years ago.
    Still the very reason I cant deadlift

    Be certain to get the quick charger with a fan.

    We set up a power inverter on our truck for it.

    I was above my game today... installed a whole house on my own. I do t get to do a lot of residential. But thanks to my light duty I got to do it today! Man doing plastic is easy work! Lol cut n glue. I can carry 210ft of pipe with one arm and on my shoulder lol.. it felt good to be productive though.. that house was booked for 3 days to install.. doneskis one day... I cant believe they charge 14k for that... now pay me my $175 after taxes lmao, good lawdy... what a profit margin huh?

    Felt good up n down the ladders all day. Decided to go ahead with legs today. I was going to wait until tomorrow... glad I didnt. It felt so good though that I may have over did things... Im much weaker though now... that was disappointing... but Ill get it back... my legs are betraying me now when I try to walk... they just kind of buckle under me.. like Im one of those old school toys where you press in the bottom and the figurine on top just kind of folds up all limp, then you release the bottom and it goes back to rigid and upright lol... I feel fan-fuggin-tastic... so glad BGT shared that video of the dude and his saying people were doing the incline leg press machine wrong.. I had no idea that you could hit both hams and quads on that machine!!! It’s a whole new world for me!!! Yippee!!!

    Yeah they definitely don’t lol... but that’s ok.. I’m going to soak all this in until the feds are off my back... then it’ll all be worth it... it’s like when I was just starting out in a real life.. rock bottom and willing to do anything.. I was paid 10bucks an hour and swung a sledge, dug those ditches, paid the day labor I picked up from Home Depot for the boss more money each day than I got paid... but I learned everything from light electrical, to tiling, masonry, plastering and stucco, back yard remodeling, room additions, countertops, resurfacing cabinetry, woodworking, plumbing etc.... which later made me a living working for myself for quite a few years... making pretty damn good money... that’s what I feel like this is.. training to bigger and better things ;0)

    Crazy day today running errands and doing chores... treated myself to a nice breakfast and then a bomb ass chicken sandwich with cactus, bacon, grilled onions... yummm




    I’ve been waddling around like a stiff legged penguin... I don’t ever recall being this sore in my entire life... my whole body is just painfully sore.. feels fantastic!

    Hope everyone’s having a kick ass weekend so far!

    Took it easy today. Sun was shining and I decided to get out of the house. Just a short drive to a nearby trailhead. Easy little hike in and a nice full river to kick off my boots and dip my feet in until the cold snow runoff becomes too much and I pull them out to warm in the sun.. bugs are out now unfortunately. But it was still cool.

    My legs are still toast. Unbelievable how much so lol.. gotta give platelets tomorrow so itll be gym start on no restrictions starting Tuesday anyway ;0) finally made it to the end of this road!

    Already plotted and planned my bulk. Im already eating the calories lol.. Ill go ahead and kick things off the 17th. I gotta go get bloods done for trt doc anyway the 15th as well as the hgh separate testing Ill be doing on same morning.

    Im a little hesitant and fearful of putting on too much fluff.. but it is what it is I guess. Gotta fluff to grow right? Obviously my many many attempts to lean bulk hasnt doesnt work. So going to finally listen and just go for gold. Ignore the fluff. Cut it back down on the back end. See what happens ;0)



    Daily gratitude item:
    Grateful to be able to go into the forest and find quietness. That my mind is now trained to turn off and be present and in the moment. Only thoughts are of what my senses are inputting from my surroundings. No words in my thoughts. Just registering sensations... its probably one of the weirdest things I experience. Its like listening to your body communicate with itself without the pollution of voice speaking words in my thoughts... I dont know how to explain it. But its pretty friggin cool I think... weird, but cool.

    Crazy busy day. Kept me out of the gym as I was back to back in appointments and platelet donations to phone calls... now just trying to unwind to prepare for some bed time... good day though. The summers already showing up it appears. About to break heat records all week I guess... warm up that river brother sun. So I can put my feet in without feeling like they’re going to snap off lol..

    I have this sudden desire to go fishing... I don’t know how really... but figure a cheap Walmart pole and some bait.. get my license there too... if I catch something great... if I don’t, I can always roll into a fasting/meditation day/night in the Forest. Pretty weird though. I’m not one who thinks about this kind of stuff lol...

    Tomorrow I’m fully released from light duty and have full gym clearance with the exception of going crazy on deadlifts of squats... which i don’t do anyway.. yet... 3 full months before I’m released fully for anything and everything... but gtg tomorrow on rebuilding what I’ve lost.

    I ordered some BPC for the elbow... and that already landed... Ace doesn’t screw around lol... I was literally like how dafuq? Did he fly it over personally or what?!? Excited to start that tonight.



    Daily gratitude item:
    Grateful to get to have the chance to experience true friendship. Where time between talking doesn’t matter, we can pick up where we left off as if it was only a day gone past, no expectations or resentments over petty shit. Just pure unfiltered, unconditional love towards another. No judgements, no heartburn. Just pure joy when I hear their voice...

    Kicked ass today at work again. Last day of light duty and I went above and beyond to hammer home all projects entrusted upon me in the warehouse. The shop Forman is trying to talk me into coming in house full time. I couldn’t do it though. I need to be in new places all the time to constantly switch things up. It’s how my brain is wired. My adhd would destroy me in an idle setting... I’m unmedicated and have been for a long time.. I learned how to somewhat manage it.. avoiding things like that is the ticket. He’s also a little difficult to deal with but I’ve dealt with guys like him all my life so he doesn’t get under my skin and his abrasive ways affect me in no way at all. He’s a good dude under the the frustrations he holds onto. Super smart, has an engineer kind of mind... if I was his boss I’d be having him doing designing and fabrication. He has the brain for it. Guys like him need to be challenged daily. Or they get bored and resentful causing them to become abrasive and rude lol..

    No more light duty... and my debut job is going to be on the coast tomorrow! Thank god, we are in this crazy heat wave right now. So I’ll be working hard but at least I get to smell the ocean air and feel the breeze off of the water on my face... I miss the ocean so much. This summer I’m going to the coast a lot. Zero fuks given ;0)

    Hit my sleep doc appointment and getting a sleep machine... doc told me that I’m going to get big AF after I’m sleeping right lmao!! He said to wait and see... so we shall see. I think he just sensed my not being very happy about it. Knew how to get me perked up lol... I guess the study showed me as stopping breathing 22 times an hour and my blood oxygen dipping to low 80’s... which is quite an improvement from my past sleep studies actually... so I guess there’s a silver lining if I can’t be happy about not being fully resolved from my issues.. I just want to give my body the proper sleep it needs to heal and grow... that’s my main objective. If I have to wear an air snorkel, then so be it. I’m not fighting it. For now lol... I may get a second opinion though afterwards... this doc stated that my other sleep issues WILL most likely be resolved with preventing the apnea part... I’m highly suspect of this statement though.. I’ve had some pretty accredited specialist state otherwise... but hey, let’s try one thing at a time right?

    Hit the gym and put in some arms... man I got some ground to cover to recover. But I’m putting my head down and I’m ready to fight, scratch and claw my way back up and excel past my old PR’s. Effin elbow is really bugging me. Praying the bpc does it’s magic ;0)



    Daily gratitude item:
    Grateful that today I show up and give 100% of me in everything I do. Work, gym, home and with life. That I’m learning discipline and consistently striving to better myself in all areas of life. I’m finally maturing! Its only taken 42 years! Lol
