Let's Get Physical !

As you can imagine, in this weather, exercise and the physical fitness of your humble narrator becomes a concern. I mean, I don't walk outside much at all, especially since Bob The Formerly Van Eating Dog got re-homed and doesn't need me to walk him.

What to do, what to do!

Well I saw this thing at The Home Of Falling Prices in the "As Seen On T.V." section right between The Snuggie and E-Z Cracker and thought, "WOW...that's JUST what I need to build up my pecs!" Draw back is, it's not free. So I had to do as I often find myself doing....improvise. Work with I have.

Been working with it MANY times a day using what I have available. I discovered that using a sock while exerting myself is extremely handy and avoids any...mess. Suffice to say, I hardly come out of the van at all for much of anything.

A side effect though is not quite as healthy as one would hope. After each exercise session, I find I need a cigarette. Go figure...

Anyhow....I need to go back to "Getting In Shape" and will write more when I feel completely physically fit!

!!!!!EDITED TO AD!!!!! I JUST found this and it helps me a great deal in my exercise regime!

Until next time...

Honest...I REALLY Had Planned On....

....wrapping up the whole rope...storage...Christmas...etc. stuff on, well, Christmas. Christmas Eve, which came after a very memorable Christmas Adam, was busy as anything for your humble narrator, and I want to share it all.

Right now I am completely fascinated by the Blizzard of '10 (WOW..that name sucks! It's better when it has an "O" in front..like The Blizzard Of 'O8! 10 is just...ummm..blah) Been watching the doings here at Camp Scooter South in the parking lot of The Home Of Falling Prices. This is a pretty significant act-O-nature! What I find really special is that I can blog to the world in The Conversion Van Of Wonders in a parking lot. When the area lost power a bit ago, I didn't! Kinda makes me feel..Awesome!

Anyhow....in the next day or two I WILL update all that stuff. I have many people to acknowledge and thank. Been a heckava month, to say the least.

Until then...

Really Quick Update....

The laptop, not to be outdone by your humble narrator, decided to have a stroke and be non-functioning for a couple of days. Is limping along right now, but still can't get some stuff to work right.

Big Doings At Camp Scooter South:

I think I may have saved some one's life today. I was walking back from throwing away my garbage when I saw this woman sitting on the curb looking like she was confused and searching in her bags. It struck me, this is winter and NO ONE sits on a curb, especially at The Home Of Falling Prices parking lot with the horrific winds we get here. Thus, I go back and ask her if she is ok. She tells me she is "shocking". I tell her, it's the wind...messes up your hair, but I wouldn't call that shocking.

She meant she is a diabetic and I could see she was zoning out pretty rapidly and had been there for quite some time. I called out to a guy walking around the lot to have him call the police.

SIDETRACK: I learned from my own "911" experience 10/05/09 that using "911" from a cell is sluggish. So I gave him the direct line for the Mt. Olive Police Department and I took the phone and put in the call.

I give'em directions to her. About 10 parking spaces south of The Conversion Van Of Wonders. With the phone guy standing by her, I went back to get something with sugar. I grabbed a can of The Real Thing and a bag of Great Value Fruit Snacks...which is what I use to get my daily supply of fruit! I would have brought the premium "Phineas And Ferb Fruit Snacks" (which are REALLY good) but I couldn't reach'em. I also took along a blanket to get her a bit warmer. I hesitated giving her either of those sugary delights, simply because it wasn't clear at that time, if she was diabetic or hypoglycemic. As it turned out, she is diabetic.

Long story short...cops arrive....paramedics arrive...she is taken into the ambulance and ultimately all is well.

So back I go to get the laptop back to speed. Y'all take care.

Until next time....
