quick update:

last night was insane .. went to bed with 102.5F fever .. then  i sweat out GALLONS. woke up with like 95F.

then for the rest of the day my temp jumped around from 95F to 100F, but i definitely felt better.

i went and got two tests. the rapid one was far away.. i was so uncomfortable in my car.. so then on the way back, stuck in traffic. took 2 hours to get home when normally it's 45 min. I WAS WRECKED.

i have some weird kind of "back pain" under my ribs ever since getting home. hopefully it's just muscle stuff and not lung stuff heh ! it's so uncomfortable. it's probably actually due to this toxic nyquil stuff destroying my liver. i hate taking anything, but with 102.5F fever, just had to.

some of the worst i've ever felt when being sick. but, whooping cough was 100x worse. just throwing that out there.

as of right now, i do feel considerably better though.

pc!

Damn it! Fingers crossed it passes fast and easy!

thanks alot man. didnt get tested yet, but know i have it 100%

body aches, headache, fatigue .. came on fast last night. same symptoms as my friend.

bleh!

got crazy busy with work, life, and farm life.

hence no logging recently.

still been dip'n & pullup'n, tho my lats/everything have been sore af .. farm life wrecking me. carving out some huge trails etc.. it's great exercise.

actually haven't run since thurs or fri ? need to try and run tonight. wanted to give my body a little bit of rest tho..

doing 5k race april 17 .. no idea how i'll do .. but need to chill w/ farm stuff as that gets close, it's def draining.

"bad lighting physique shot" .. nice, coming along i guess. was a few nights ago. need that diesel af shred in "bad lighting", then it'll be good. also looks like some kind of jock-strap but that's just the lace from my shorts lmao.

bought an old truck !! 2001 Ford F-150 Lariat. runs really good. drove it several miles w/ the dude, to his house.

turns out the guy is in IT lmao.

will give more details tmw .. and i only have the keys right now. Need to get the rest of the $$ and pick it up tmw.

 

We had a field next to our house for years with horses. We got to pet and feed them apples without paying for vet bills and general horse expenses. When the horse was gone they dozed over the field and built a huge house. Super sad.

ah dang. i've always hated seeing land disappear. saw an entire city (tamarac) transform when i was a kid. used to be tons of open land, and by the time i was 15, all gone & developed.

it's one thing i love about my current area.. folks out here fight to the death (lmao) to stop encroachment from developers/businesses etc. they want the parks, land, ranches, etc. love it. hope to god it stays this way.

though my neighbor said he's seen it change quite drastically. he said the main road into/out of town used to be completely canopy'd too with oaks and pines.. wish that were still the case.

if it stays how it is currently, i'd be happy w/ that.. ;f

Your situation sounds like a win /win for everyone.

Only worry I would have is them getting out for some reason. Make sure your fence game is up to par.

yea for sure. property is completely fenced in but need to re-enforce some area.

thanks man!!!

Man your house/land is GOALS. I would absolutely love to have something like that one day.

yeah i was just talking with my best friend last night about the idea of buying a place together with his wife and another friend. we live in really expensive places (SF, DC) so this would be a kind of shared retreat situation somewhere cheaper and more beautiful. seems more realistic than buying homes where we live and i love the idea of (1) owning some land in common with close friends and (2) having a place that i know i can go back to year after year that's in a beautiful setting far away from crowds.

yea man if it's a best friend/someone you just know you can trust, sounds solid.

being able to disconnect daily from the city life feels every bit as incredible as i thought it would. when i'm home, feels like i'm in the middle of nowhere. absolutely love it.. 

i mean i'd rather own something 100% but that's just because of how i trust people. but someone i know was talking about that recently and seemed like they were so happy at the thought of doing it. so def seems worth considering!

two days ago:

2021-03-23

tons of pullups/dips

evening: 5:39 no watch -> cool .. kinda hard tho, started out too fast it seems.. nice!

evening #2: 5 hours of farm life!!

awesome and physically rough. love it.

mulched a big trail i carved out over the last few weeks. couldn't be more happy w/ it.







yesterday:

2021-03-24

tons of pullups/dips as usual .. lookin shredded!

evening: light trot = 3 mi @ 7:37 -> super ez.. good sign!

- that's kinda nuts..... that's like really good fitness.. i used to trot 7:XX's when i was in peak shape before injury way back .. tho, i could do it for like 10 miles. i coulda kept this going for more miles but, keeping volume low.

evening #2: 3 hours of FARM LIFE

more mulching, shoveling, and used this big long tree that i cut down (was leaning) to make a little rustic gate :F





also, love how this came out, omg.

Man your house/land is GOALS.

damn man thanks alot hah. and ya man i pinch myself daily, no joke. it's crazy.

I would absolutely love to have something like that one day.

nice ! one day do it ! best decision i've ever made. it's like this big canvas that i get to paint for decades to come, i can't believe it. love it.

if i wasn't working in the area, i'd have moved further north and gotten 10x the land for the same price .. that's the only "bummer" BUT, the location i'm in right now is pure gold. it's incredible. surrounded by state parks, 15 min from the beach, ranches/farms everywhere, no encroachment.

just blows my mind.

and man, it's getting me in insane shape. love it.

so just keep saving & one day go for it !
