PUSH UPS & SCREECH OWLS

 I HAVE TO SAY, IT WAS A PRETTY COOL EVENING.  I WENT TO THE SHED TO DO MY USUAL UNUSUAL EXERCISE ACTIVITIES.  I WAS QUEING UP THE PANDORA TO STONE SOUR RADIO, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, A LARGER THAN AVERAGE BIRD STARTED SWOOPING AROUND IN THE SHED.  IT'S NOT A BIG AIR SPACE SO THE BIRD SEEMED SIZABLE AT FIRST.  I THOUGHT IT WAS A BABY HAWK.  TURNS OUT IT WAS A SCREECH OWL, EVEN COOLER.  

HONESTLY AT FIRST, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT KIND IT WAS.  I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A HOOT OWL, SO NATURALLY, I START HOOTING.  HIS EYES SEEMED TO GET BIGGER WHEN I DID THE HOOT CALL SO I THOUGHT I WAS ON TO SOMETHING AND THAT ALL SIGNS POINTED TO ME BEING AN OWL WHISPERER.  

THIS PICTURE BELOW WAS TAKEN FROM ABOUT 3 FEET AWAY FROM HIM.  VERY SLOWLY I TOOK MINI STEPS TOWARDS HIM.  HE DIDN'T SEEM TO CONCERNED.  MAYBE BECAUSE HE WAS PRETTY SURE HE COULD TAKE MY EYES OUT IF HE WANTED TO.  ANYWAY, VERY COOL EXPERIENCE.  I PROBABLY SPENT ABOUT 30 MINUTES JUST KIND OF WATCHING, FILMING, TAKING PICTURES AND BY THE TIME I WAS READY TO WORK OUT, I WAS FREEZING.  I WAS PLANNING TO DO BENCH PRESS TONIGHT.  I WENT TO LIFT THE BAR AND I COULD FEEL THAT IF I WENT FOR IT I WOULD HURT MYSELF.  I GUESS THE OLDER WE GET THE MORE WE FEEL THINGS IN OUR BONES.  I DECIDED TO HEAD INSIDE FOR A LITTLE PUSH UP ACTION.  I SET THE NUMBER AT 300 AND WENT FOR IT.  I WILL TRY TO DO 10 MORE EVERY TIME UNTIL I MAKE 1000.  WHY NOT?    

 

 

PUSH UPS IN THE COLD

 TONIGHT WAS A PUSH UP CHALLENGE.  I STARTED WITH 3 SETS OF 40 THEN I HAD TO SCALE BACK TO SETS OF 30, 20, AND 15 UNTIL I REACHED 250 TOTAL.  WE WILL GET 300 NEXT TIME. 

A LITTLE SNOW DECOR ON THE RACK IS ALWAYS NICE
