Just a blog of random thoughts. Some will be about street photography; some about DMR radio; some about weight training; we can chat about cigars, motorcycles and tools. Since everyone has an opinion, maybe I'll throw in the dreaded political thoughts.

All of the arms dealers are thankful to all the American politicians who will vote yes for the Iran Deal. It will guarantee American kids will be fighting and getting killed in Iran and will give all the arms dealers time to sell their guns to our enemies in anticipation of yet another Middle Eastern War. 

The Reverand Ryan Ellen misses the point. They’re illegal – period. They’re welcome as long  as they seek access to citizenship LEGALLY.  No one is welcome if they’re going to sneak across the border and seek to hide away. He cites the migration issue in Europe.  Again he misses the point. No country in the world can absorb this mass of humanity. 

Sometimes Bad Press is NOT Always Good Press

Here’s the response from Pac Sun to my complaint about the upside down American flag. They’ll try to say they were supporting their customers who say our country is in distress – while they make / buy their products over seas and sell them here.  

 

Dark Sky

My Dark Sky app was a little slow this morning.  It didn’t indicate there would be rain until later in the week.  It started booming and pouring around 2:15 this morning.  However, it does a great job with short term (two hour) forecasting.  It gave me a 45 minute window to walk Bruno and it was spot on.  As we were walking back up the driveway it started to rain again.

Slow Road Back

Trying to get my two main “heavy” lifts back to a respectable place.  My top bench is 365 and my top squat is 395.  Stuck at 320 on both of them right now.

Bench 135 x1 0; 225 x 8; 275 x 4; 315 x 1; 320 x 1

Squat same as above.

I also need to get my Pull Ups back up.  Used to be 10.  Stuck at 3.  It would help if I could lose the 35 pounds I put on since I was doing 10 reps.

Sucks getting old.
