Gym (Yoga) 21:00 [3]
slept:7.25 weight:162.8lbs (rest day)

Sore today, will take it easy, or at least that is the plan.
9 AM

Note

Watching a black squirrel and a gray squirrel chasing each other up and down a maple tree, tussling like a pair of kittens, more or less along the county line in front of the window at my desk. Generally speaking, the black squirrels at Ratlum stay in Litchfield county, while the gray squirrels prefer Hartford County. This is a long standing arrangement.

In the gym with Eric. Stretching, deadlifts several sets at 105#, one leg stand ups, pushups, pull downs and rowing one handed- a little dicey for the elbows. Planks on the Swiss ball, side planks from the floor.

7 AM

Note
slept:7.5 weight:163.6lbs

A long laurel wrangling session, which stretched to over 4 1/2 hours with a lunch break in between. Making progress, and it seems to agree with me physically.

6 AM

Gym (wieghts) 1:00:00 [3]
slept:4.0 weight:163lbs

In the gym with Eric. Not a good sleeping night, but otherwise feeling pretty good. Stretching, deadlifts, several sets with 105#, easy, bulgarian squats, step ups, bent over rowing 30#, pushups on the BOSU flat side, side planks on the other side, bands. Sweaty.

After laurel wrangling, with Rhonda. I was pretty tired and this was a struggle.

8 AM

Rowing Machine 8:26 [3] 2.0 km (4:13 / km)
slept:7.0 weight:163.8lbs shoes: 2012 merrell trail glove

Seasonal PR: 2:09.5; 2:08.6; 2:05.6; 2:02.7.

Not exactly gasping at the finish, but maybe one level below. Certainly breathing hard. It will take a lot of practice to bring this time down, and probably some cooler weather.

So far I have 25,000 meters in July. Looked back over the Concept 2 log and in the prior 10 years my total for July was 14,000. So something new,.

Note

Yard work trifecta today (again). 2 hours in the garden this morning, weeding, tying up tomatoes, raking. An hour or so in the afternoon of TSI (timber stand improvement), cutting out conflicting trees, favoring oaks and birches over the ubiquitous pin cherries, cutting out any aspens we find. There is a lot to do. Then about 2 1/2 hours of laurel wrangling. Pushed another path out of the thicket in the center to drag the laurel out, so now we are getting to where there are some islands of laurel that I can try to wipe out, one by one.Between the TSI and the laurel wrangling, and generally just growing, the clear cut is now relatively easy to walk through, and getting better fast. Still a little dark green to deal with, certainly some lesser green, but trending toward white woods.

On the ebike with Rhonda, but had it turned off, which made it interesting since she was in level 1. Better than average legs today.

Note

Zack and I chipped a large pile of laurel and sapling tops, and then I spread six loads of wood chips. Actually a pretty good day for me physically, not too tired out by the activity. And a set of ring pullups on the way in.

Good session with Eric. Stretching, lots of deadlifts with 105#, bent over dumbbell rows w/ 30#, bulgarian squats, lots of band work, core work
7 AM

Note

And then right down to the clear cut for an hour of wrangling, and right to the garden to weed a bit, harvest some cukes, tie up tomato plants, etc. Back in at 10, a bit sweaty.
2 PM

Note

Down in the clear cut with Zack, doing a little TSI (timber stand improvement), pruning off splits in trees, obnoxious low branches, thinning out sprout groups, saving some for firewood, the rest in the chipping piles. Until we got chased in by the thunderstorm.
5 PM

ahr:137 max:170 shoes: 2020 White Gel Kayanos

3 hospital loops on 5:30 clock, plus walking one at the end. 4:52, 4:44, 4.22. A little better than the last few times, still well behind where I was with this in the winter.

After the first thunderstorm, before the second one. They were both pretty powerful rainstorms.

ahr:91 max:121 slept:7.0 weight:163lbs shoes: 2020 White Gel Kayanos

Today I was planning to get out early and go orienteering at Tarrywile, but didn't feel the enthusiasm for the drive when I got up, so several hours in the garden instead, and then this walk with Rhonda while we were in between steps in baking some bread.
4 PM

Gym (Yoga) 21:00 [3]

Had to make myself do this, after several hours in the garden and two with Zack and his new chainsaw doing some timber stand improvement down in the clearcut, thinning out some clumps of maples, pruning some Vs in birches, cherries and maples, making some firewood out of anything bigger than about 2 1/2", putting the rest in the chipping pile, which is getting really big again.

Gym 15 [3]

9 ring pull ups, because, as PG says, sometimes you need 3 trainings.

Golf again with Tom, his friend Bob and a guy we met there. My game is not good, but fortunately I get more pleasure out of the occasional good shot than dismay out of the clunkers.

Note

I’ve been reflecting on the life and times of my old friend and roommate Michael Proctor. I got a call last night from his ex-girl friend, who told me he died two weeks ago. She has been persona non grata to his wife, but apparently stays in touch with his children. I hadn’t been in touch with him in about ten years, couldn’t seem to contact him by any of the conventional means. Turns out he had been suffering from dementia all that time, and closely guarded by the wife. I last saw him in St Petersburg Beach in about 2009, but over the years we had a lot of adventures together, including a bunch of bare boat charter sailing trips in Hawaii and the Caribbean. Lots of memories.

ahr:135 max:172 slept:7.25 weight:163lbs

With Rhonda, up Sandy Brook Rd until it seemed time to turn around. At the start of the climb she rode by and said “orange” meaning she had gone up to level 2, but with my usual auditory acuity and general alertness I thought she had said “morning”. Didn’t make much sense to me, but then she started pulling away and I figured it out.
2 PM

Note

Extensive laurel wrangling session. Saw this nice wood frog in the area.

C • What a fine photo! 1

Note

Painting lawn chairs. Not entirely sure this was a good idea. Three elderly adirondack chairs on the deck. Power washed them a few days ago, primed them Wednesday, first and second coat on the top side Thursday. Rain yesterday so nothing. Painted the bottom sides this morning. They look very nice, but way too much work.
C • Lawn chairs 5
8 AM

Note

Two hours weeding, raking and tying up tomato plants in the vegetable garden. A good pandemic activity.

ahr:97 max:132 slept:7.25 weight:162.8lbs shoes: 2020 White Gel Kayanos

With Rhonda from LeGeyt Rd in to the Indian Council Rocks and on the Tunxis trail for a bit.

Green frogs calling in the first pond we came to, then later beaver lodge in the middle of the marsh.

1 PM

Note

An hour and a half laurel wrangling down in the clear cut, where it is much cooler than our in the open. Cool enough that heat was not really an impediment. What was an impediment was a yellow jacket sting in my knee, and a bunch of those guys buzzing around looking for somebody to blame for their problems. That seemed like a good time to leave the area for the day.

Trying to average 1,000 a day, but falling a bit behind.

With Rhonda at the lake. Had to cut it short. Too sore and tired after spending the morning first in the garden weeding then painting lawn chairs.
