At the office that is pretty much it.

My back is getting sore again from sitting down too much in my lounge chair doing work and in the evening even when I am still keeping active which is challenging when it gets dark so early. More standing up and more lower back workout.

A little bit of wet snow...

[canadmos]

Snowed some last night. Looks like 5 or 10cm. Friends are bailing on the ride tonight and going for a hike. I kinda want to ride.

What exercises do you do for your lower back? I'm on the same boat, but I'm tired of the same ol' exercises...

Time to fire Kerbal Space Program back up.

Rainy, chilly. Sloppy wet leaves down. A ride may occur later in the day.

Making this later. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020704-kaddu-sweet-and-sour-butternut-squash
With a ground turkey red pepper sauce and a joghurt topping.

A riff on the version from the pumpkin kaddo dish served atThe Helmand in Boston.

Do you think the trails near Hartford will be super slick next week? (Forecast looks dry-ish?)

Lifting kettlebell from the floor from the front with as much flexing the back as possible and from one side of the time without weights in the other hand. Some of the machines at the gym also has some good back work.

Pretty sure we are in the matrix

Ain’t got access to such a tyre, maaaan (rental bike)

They ought to be fine, based on the ten day forecast.

 

[rideit]

I’ll give you a shout, but I probably can only get away for a short ride.

Cold rain, it very gloomy here. This delicious bagel is way too big for me, I need to bake smaller ones next.

 

[Full Trucker]

HVAC guy is (theoretically) coming to install the mini-split in the Bong Shed™ today. Then I'll need to go full-court press on finishing it, but hoping to be in there by the end of the year. Man, what a clusterfuck of a project this has been... it's only taken me a year.

last week I was outside in a t-shirt. now snow...

rowing, deadlifts, bent over row, kettlebell swings, overhead squat, squat

 

[Nick]

work is bullshit lately. Nobody has any sense of urgency. (you kids get off my lawn!!!)
I have to swap the spindle on my cranks and continue trying to clean out the garage. Its a shitshow in there.

@slyfink best things I've done for my lower back are pulldowns/pullups, and yoga.

BAKE? WTF?

Who does this?
Meshuga goyim, oy vey

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

 

[Poops McDougal]

deadlifts

This is a winner right here. Also, back extensions can be a useful accessory movement.

WFH this morning. Nothing else witty or useful to add to the conversation.

We do, and they are delicious.

 

[Adventurous]

Cold and sloppy. The weather that is.

Feeling overwhelmed at work recently. New role is different than advertised, and not in the good way.

 

[rideit]

Yeah, we do sometimes as well, but it has to be said!
(I was being sarcastic)
They are delicious…but boiling is the only way to really get that texture combo of ‘bite’ and ‘chew’.
It’s a New Yawk thing…

I‘LL be back East at my wife’s family’s very kosher household next week, I’m getting myself into character.

Same same.

Looks like our house received a little more than what's in your picture, but where we normally ride on Wednesdays looks to be less than both, so it'd totally be rideable on a normal bike.

But yeah what the heck eh, shorts and tshirt a week ago, to this. Going from warmth to -3c feels freaking cold!
I guess I should just conform and not be a loser and hike with my friends instead of ride by myself.

I think Westy would agree this is the only way to prepare dead hookers, too

last day for these bad boys

Westy’s dead crack baby recipes are nothing if not authentic.

Things look very out of focus without those glasses.

Lasik, PRK, or just new glasses?

That was early on, we're up to 10cm I would say. Time to put the winter tires on the Mayor. SS season was short lived.
