It's still a steep hill. I may even collapse before I reach the top, I sure picked a tall one.

Working on a synthwave piece for my debut production album. I think it's currently piece number 7, out of 12. I need to complete the entire thing before mid September. That's not including earning an income, talking to potential dates, spending time in my mentor's studio and camping with my family for a week. And chores and cooking and me time. There's a lot on this hill.

I can do 4 chin-ups now.

Much obliged! And I did.

I like to tell myself that, anyway.


No disagreement from me on that. I’m more talking about those at the top of the totem pole running things, the poor management and oppressive oversight from failed and misplaced leadership that ruins what could otherwise be extremely simple/efficient/well-received/profitable endeavor.

That's the reason it's worth climbing.

Sounds like you're doing more productive, self-improvement over the next month than I've done in the last 10 years. Excellent burden! Happy you're even attempting it, really. Might not make it to the peak, but you're earn every bloody inch.

I did a rep of 4 the other day. Let's see who gets to 5 first!

It's kinda silly that the people with the most power, who should logically be the ones vetted the hardest, be the most well trained, and experienced, could possibly the fundamentally unable to perform the job they're assigned.

In the same sense that I do a lot of work for those people, in their suburban mansions, and it's mildly frustrating.

I sensed a challenge so I pushed myself (pulled actually) and I just did 5. Barely.

Well, that was fast. You win! Well done! Heh.

Starting to grow those muscle-wings under the armpit?

You actually came up in a conversation I was having today. Not by any identifying name, of course, "friend of mine out west." while talking about self-improvement. Cited you as an example of someone doing an all-around approach.

Incidentally, somehow, a plane ticket from Newark to CA is $100, but a train ticket is $250+.

If you can do 5 by the end of the week then we'd be tied then it's off to see who can do 6 first.

No wing muscles. Sides are still straight as a board.

$100 to LA? Is that Spirit Airlines? Does Southwest fly North East?

"Dragons of Deceit: Dragonlance Destinies: Volume 1 Hardcover – August 2, 2022 by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman return to the unforgettable world of the New York Times bestselling Dragonlance series as a new heroine—desperate to restore her beloved father to life—sets off on a quest to change time.

Destina Rosethorn—as her name implies—believes herself to be a favored child of destiny. But when her father dies in the War of the Lance, she watches her carefully constructed world come crashing down. She loses not only her beloved father but also the legacy he has left her: the family lands and castle. To save her father, she hatches a bold plan—to go back in time and prevent his death. First, she has to secure the Device of Time Journeying, last known to be in the possession of the spirited kender Tasslehoff Burrfoot. But to change time, she’ll need another magical artifact—the most powerful and dangerous artifact ever created. Destina’s quest takes her from the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin to the town of Solace and beyond, setting in motion a chain of disastrous events that threaten to divert the course of the River of Time, alter the past, and forever change the future."


Time travel again, eh? Well, that’s one way to feature the old gang that are either long dead or no longer around, like Raistlin Majere, Tanis Half-Elven, Sturm Brightblade, Flint Fireforge, etc. Of course, the flipside of that is that it could also bring back old baddies like Takhisis, Chaos, the Dragon Overlords, Lord Soth, Kitiara, etc.

Heh. I'll give it a shot.

Interesting. I think you said we have a very similar BMI, but I'm a good bit taller, and therefore heavier, which should grow muscle faster, but also it's spread over a larger area, so I look proportionally weaker. A mystery.

$100 to LA? Is that Spirit Airlines? Does Southwest fly North East?

Didn't see, and can't find the exact quote again, sadly. But for $100 I'd happily arrange a trip out west in the winter. Though I've heard Spirit is awful, but some companies do direct, high traffic flights like that on the cheap. Any experience?

Never quite got the hang of those edge highlights. Need to practice more, granted, I'm way too lazy. But the brush control for what should be simple, and I'm a painter by trade, is really precise.

I think one should also consider physical history. I've never had any amount of muscle mass in my life. My body has been pretty much the same from 18 to 30 except for gradual weight gain, 170lb to 190lb, after then loosing 20+ lbs to spend a majority of my 30's in the 160s, which is what I probably weighed starting high school. But I have no experience growing muscles and no experience gaining. Also I'm extremely top deficient, No chest and no arms. All my power was in my legs. So we could be similar in setup, but different in execution.

Oh, and you can totally do 5. You're awesome like that.

My life experience has been mostly Southwest, though lately I do my main traveling through Delta and that was to Texas and Alaska. The East Coast tough, those were always family trips and I gladly never had to purchase any airfare.

Probably cheapest to go through Burbank, so look up those options too.

Open question: Any of you guys ever feel guilty for splurging on food? Not even necessarily fancy food, but like a big bag of greasy takeout or something.

Ah, fair point. I was very physically active as a kid, though oddly enough never had the back strength to do a pullup. Dropped off with the teens, but started painting at 16 off and on. So my physique is very unimpressive, but there's a foundation there. I only look good in the arms and chest up, heh. Got unfortunately narrow ribs and feminine fat distribution, need to slim down and bulk up the torso.

We'll see, we'll see :)

Well, I'd have to get back in contact with the other lads first to justify it, and make a couple thousand bucks between now and then, but man I need a proper vacation.

Derived from the ancient Aztec god "Vacay," a term used to describe a period of spent far from ones home, paying excessively for food and drinks inferior to one's normal fare, as well as overly structured exploration of cultural landmarks.

So, uh, roughly what would a 5-year-old SUV with 88k miles (140k km) go for in your various countries? Asking on account of some confusing familial financial decisions.
