I hate how much time being involved in blogging can sometimes take. There was no bloody way I should have been getting to bed after midnight last night when it was my intention to be rising at 3:30 a.m. for some exercise at the elementary school playground maybe three blocks from here.
I did rise at 3:30 a.m., but I keenly felt my insufficient sleep. At least the house was in darkness.
Once I was outside and on my way after weighing in at first 186 and then 188 pounds while fully clothed for the outing ─ our analog scale seldom offers an identical reading with two tries ─ I found it to be most chilly, for it was one or two degrees Celsius below freezing.
When I got to the playground, the sawdust base was crunchy from the freeze. The metal equipment upright supports were just damp, but the jungle gym monkey bars were frosted. I used a bandana to wipe two of them clear of the frozen moisture, however. But they were cold!
Largely as a result of that, and because I was somewhat unenthusiastic due to lack of adequate sleep, I was not much into pushing myself. Still, I did manage five bare-handed pull-ups in the first set.
Thus, two sets of pull-up (5-2), two sets of chin-ups (3-3), and two sets of pull-ups between two of the bars (2-2). The gymnastics-style rings had all be rendered out of commission by vandals who had wrapped the chains around the very high support bar ─ a long pole would be needed to unwrap them.
Normally I would have held a loose dead hang after the final pull-up between the bars, but my hands were so cold after the second pull-up that I decided to take a pause of almost the usual 30-count that I count off between sets. And so I held a loose dead hang for a 70-count.
Then it was over to the cement ramp where I wore my gloves for 10 slow full-range decline push-ups.
I was back home and into my bedroom with door shut not too very much before my eldest stepson rose downstairs to ready for his second consecutive 12-hour 6 a.m. shift at Tree Island Steel.
I was to get caught up in online stuff at my bedside computer and failed to get back to bed until probably at least 6:15 a.m., yet I found myself aware two hours later and rose, correctly suspecting that my younger brother was likely already watching T.V. downstairs.
It was well past 9 a.m. when I joined him; and upon getting the green light from him to take over the T.V. with our Android TV Box, I led us off with a 17-minute (17:33) video uploaded earlier today to YouTube's AnitaK channel: Governor General Still Stonewalling Pierre.
Trump’s Tariff Threats
In this video, we explore a fascinating moment in Canadian politics: the Governor General’s decision to ignore Pierre Poilievre's request to reinstate Parliament during a critical period of trade tensions with the United States under the Trump administration. With the looming threat of tariffs impacting Canada’s economy, this controversial decision raises questions about the balance of power, political strategy, and how Canada responded to external pressures. Including BC Premier David Eby's plan to limit American alcohol sales in BC. Governor General Mary Simon. Trump Tariffs
Next were two short and the very latest videos at BitChute's Armed Patriot channel, but I am not going to bother listing them. Likewise another at Rumble's WTFLouie channel.
But I will identify a nearly 1½-hour (1:28:34) video streamed yesterday at Rumble's ZeeeMedia channel: Stargate & AI mRNA: Dystopian HELL! - Karen Kingston.
Biotech Analyst Karen Kingston joins Maria Zeee to discuss concerns around President Trump's announcement of Stargate - with CIA players and AI mRNA, this can quickly result in a complete AI police state dystopian hell.
Disturbing stuff!
We finished with a movie I had previously downloaded, but I will wait until we have finished watching it before I identify it.
My wife had today off work. It was overcast during my early a.m. outing, and remained so all day.
I shall be sitting up late tonight watching shows with my brother once he is back from his daily social drinking, so I will be indulging in two or three cans of beer. Meantime, I am pondering getting out on a walk to do a little grocery shopping, but I will only do so if my wife does not return from wherever she left around 4:30 p.m. to drive to ─ no word was said to me, although I did hear her speaking to her youngest son.
My left foot's plantar fasciitis (or whatever else may be wrong with it) is somewhat aggravated from my early a.m. walk, but I am confident that I will not be courting any disaster with a second outing in one day, even if it's double the distance ─ which would be the case if I walk to the nearest Save-On-Foods.
At present it is 7:21 p.m. If my wife is still not back by 8 p.m., nor my brother yet home, then I will commence readying for the journey. I do not wish to leave too early ─ best to allow other foot as well as some street traffic to die down.
