General life update

I figured I'd post a general life update as I sit here drinking my preworkout and watching hour 19 of Le Mans.

Training: I'm drinking preworkout on a sunday morning because I've found a new olympic weightlifting coach, and I see him on saturday and sunday morning, and then he programs for me MWF.  I then program for myself some cardio on Tuesday.  I mentioned that in my previous blog, but figured I'd put that here for completeness.

Competitive shooting:  dovetailing with my training because I want to start doing tactical games, I have been doing most of my cardio as runs with my plate carrier as that'll be something that shows up in the tactical games.  As far as the shooting goes...well...I've been to the range once, and it was BAD.  My pistol game needs lots of work.  I have a 3gun match this month which will give me some practice, but I need to get to the range too. I've ordered some rubberized grips that I hope will help me hold onto the damn pistol better, AND I will probably order a competition pistol when my bonus pays.  Looking forward to working with shotgun reloads in competition as I haven't had a chance to do that with my new belt mounted shell caddy.

Cars:  Monday is registration for the first trackday I'll do this year.  One of maybe two, it seems.  So, because I'm NOT getting out to the track nearly enough, I've decided to start doing some sim racing.  I've ordered a wheel stand, and currently have a loaner setup.  I'll get my own in short order.

Work: work is about the same.  Been here 18 months, and it's fine.

Family: midget is coming along.  Still not talking, but is a play monster.  It's been fun.


Ok, that's it for now.

Metcon Tuesday #4 - 2/11/20

This post is 2 days late because I forgot to write it.  Been busy in the mornings with other crap.  This metcon was just a 2 mile run with a vest.  It's the longest I've done so far, and I survived!  That's about all I can say about it.

Sometimes you miss things

I am far and away better at spending money on stuff to make new and different sounds than I am at actually playing the guitar.  FAR AND AWAY.  Case in point: for the longest time I had an amp so loud it could blow women's clothes off, and because of its vacuum tube design it didn't really sound its best at a volume I could stand to be in the room with.  I actually spent significantly MORE MONEY trying to put the volume on a leash while simultaneously keeping it cranked for the best sound.  Ridiculous. That amp is a mesa roadster.  Originally I bought it for the dirty tons as it turns out that most of my favorite guitarists use a mesa rectifier amp.  This roadster is like the swiss army knife version of a rectifier.  One of the biggest differences is that roadster sounds really good clean.  Mesa lifted the clean from their lonestar line of amps for this particular amp  In fact, as far as I'm concerned, it's the best clean.  However, this amp is just too fucking loud.

Metcon Monday #2: 1/27/20

Best laid plans of mice and men and all that, Metcon Monday is going to have to become metcon tuesday.  I was finally able to connect with my new olympic lifting coach, and he's writing my programming for me for monday wednesday and friday.  In addition to being in his gym saturday and sunday for technique work, I'm left with 1 day a week to program for myself.  So, stay tuned for tomorrow when we resume posting workouts.
