    I'm glad you got a little chuckle out of it. Regarding Tesla. The man was not only a genius but a humanitarian. It still makes me sad to think of such a man getting so little credit and dying alone.

    Light Day.

    Squat: 70 x 5 (paused); 130 x 3; 170 x 1; 190 x 5 x 2; 105 x 5 (paused)
    Bench: 45 x 5; 95 x 3; 135 x 1; 146 x 1; 129 x 5 x 2
    Dead: 135 x 3; 225 x 2; 277.5 x 3

    I tolerate light days in the hope that a heavy day will follow. It has so far.

    BTW Our fifth covid test was again negative.

    Tesla got screwed by Edison and Westinghouse. Other than a documentary about him (History Channel?) his only other recognition in popular culture was when David Bowie portrayed him in a cameo in The Prestige.

    I know. He may be one of the four or five greatest geniuses at least in the Western world. While alive he indeed got screwed. His efforts have proven to be great advances for the entire world but sadly much of what he left us has been ignored.

    HLM Heavy Day. Not heavy enough.

    Squat: 70 x 5 (paused); 160 x 3; 190 x 1; 205 x 1; 215 x 3; 192.5 x 5 x 2
    Press: 45 x 5; 65 x 3; 85 x 1; 98 x 2; 75 x 8 x 2
    Dead: 135 x 3; 225 x 2; 295 x 1; 310 x 1; 280 x 3 310 seemed easy. I decided to play some music I like. Keith Green, "Easter Song" Check it out: keith green easter song - Bing video

    Who doesn't love Tesla? But his career management could have used a couple tweaks.

    That is certainly true. As admirable as his contributions were he seems to have been incredibly gullible. I have a bitter taste in my mouth over what Edison did to him.

    Edison was a mama's boy, a narcissist, and a thorough dick. Not entirely unlike his latter day incarnation has gradually revealed himself to be, Elon Musk.

    Both brilliant, and both miserable human beings.

    I'm afraid I know very little about Elon Musk. Can you point me to some information?
