0826
So I stumbled into the gym this morning so I could get an idea of how much weight I'd been carrying on my back for 3+ miles. I'd thrown some extra weight (25 lbs) in the ruck sack before starting out so I was curious...especially since I never ever weighed my basic load to begin with. I was thinking 45-50 lbs. I was hoping for 55-60 because that'd make me feel pretty pleased with myself...I've always thought I was pretty shitty at ruck marching and that I'd been getting over on earlier rucks. Fucking 70 god damn pounds. And I was wondering why the straps were digging into my shoulders so hard. The amazing part is that I still beat other soldiers around the Torii loop (even AFTER adding some lunges and a few extra hill climbs to my route). I am a manly man! Smell my odor and fear me! (ok, so actually I've already showered) Um...yeah. For the first time in my life, today I see a take home check of over $1k today. Wahoo! (OK, so I don't actually see a "check", just an LES, and If you don't count the allotments I have on my pay I've actually been earning over 1k for a while now...but still...) Seeing that "Pay Forwarded" block read $1025.xx! Quite a wonderful feeling I assure you. Thank you Congress for the pay raise!!! Ebay note: I put a 1k bid in on a pair of vintage Schoeps microphones. A brand new set of the most current model runs a little under twice that so we'll see. I only bid on the off chance I could get an amazing deal...o/w I'll live w/o. Raaaaaaaar! I'm feeling a big dog eats world kind of day today! current mood: ecstatic
