Bench was absolutely brutal but felt awesome.  Didn’t do a whole lot else today since I bench again tomorrow.  Git some.

… a tame pigeon belonging to a neighbor escaped.  Here it is sitting on T’s knee eating bread.  This has been a weird weekend.

Did I mention we hand feed birds, chipmunks and squirrels?

Yes, I realize this creates a dependency on humans and that peanuts are not nutritionally complete for animals, you killjoy.  LOL.

It’s interesting that we’ve been going to this same spot and feeding the birds and squirrels a few seeds and nuts for a few years and today is the first day when the birds have been trusting enough to actually eat out of T’s hand.

What’s even more interesting is that the chickadees are apparently gangster enough to tag the wood posts.  West Nile, represent.

Spent a few hours out for a hike in the woods earlier with T.

We like to head out to this place quite often to get some fresh air.  There are wetlands, brutal hills, animals, grassy areas with flowers and berries, weird places where the trees have no branches for 30 feet straight up, huge trees being chewed down by beavers, beaver dams, rock cliffs, straight drops 40 feet down into rivers, and stumps hollowed out and made into little homes by animals.

I might add, this is right in the middle of my city of a million people.

Fuck what you heard, Canada is pretty awesome.  We have jobs here, too. :D :D

Never get your cardio on a treadmill when you have other options.  You’ll miss life.

Dinner:  sushiiiiii.

The 4/5/6 program:  Lift 4 times a week, for 5 years, and eat 6 meals a day.
Make the alleyways afraid of you.
Short cuts can lead to bad places.  Lift heavy, sleep like a baby, and eat clean.  Every day.

On a related note, this guy is undefeatable at power pull.

Well, competition for the power pull was stiff (our engineering firm vs. Fire departments, shipping warehouses, heavy part manufacturers, and the biggest damn insurance salesman I’ve ever seen hahaha). 

We won a pull and lost two, eliminating us. For one of the pulls we got completely handled. Didn’t stand a chance. The other dragged on for over a minute when one of our people stumbled, making it pretty much over. 

Good times in general though. I will definitely enter next year again.
