Fred's modified SS Geezer log

[Fred J]

Thanks guys! We just have to do the best we can. I want to get the bench and squat back up to where it was before this last downturn started. IE:early 2022. Bench-225-1 Squat 250-1. I did not plan to stop there but life just took a downturn. What ya gonna do but work at getting it back. At almost 70 years old these are not big weights by any means and even though I went well past there in my early thirties I could not do these weights in my early twenties. I was skinny.

That's not much but work around the house is off the chain. This is retirement lol? Hot and humid which drags things (me) down but not too bad for an old guy.

Just killed a copperhead on my front walk. Hate those damn things.

Growing up in Texas, combined with hating wearing my glasses (geeky, huge plastic frames), I was walking to my friend's house one day and see a huge worm or something on his front yard. I knock on the door and point to it. My friend, not 20/200, screamed for his dad, who brought a shovel from the garage, and cut off the head of the copperhead (or water moccasin, can't remember) on their front yard. Freaked me out.

I can't blame you for that. Like I said I have no love for those things.

I had to stop and take time to lift a little as I have worked every day on my gym/garage remodel. So far I have taken down four walls moved an entry door and rebuilt one wall. I have two more walls to build and after finishing wiring, insulation and sheetrock I can install more double layer 3/4" plywood for a bigger lift area. Things will improve soon as long as I keep my momentum up.

I hope everyone is doing good!
