What’s on the menu chick?
Haven’t ironed out all the details but things will include, unilateral DB, bodyweight, bands, cables, and carries.

Wee break from the norm does no harm

Still don’t have the details ironed out, but I did do something.
Helped my buddy work on his death trap boat last evening, got home late, ate late, and just couldn’t fall asleep, woke up late, so… here I am. No regrets, we have fun. Didn’t fix a damn thing, but we surely got it tore apart.

Our well pump started acting up last night. This is not unusual this time of year because sometimes fire ants, spiders or scorpions will get in the pressure switch. Not that easy this time. I cleaned up the points but it is still short cycling. Have to meet the well service people in town to get a new switch. Today is the annual Rodeo parade and everything is closed or closing at noon. I have no idea how the change the pressure switch but it can’t be rocket science… right???

What are the consequences if changing it goes south on you? Bad timing on the switch and/or parade!
That’s an interesting-looking workout - very functional and lots of carry-over. How do you feel now?
We end up with no water and have to wait until Monday before we can get somebody out to fix it. I did have a nice talk with a guy that works at the well service and he explained some things, so hopefully I got this!
Other than dying from the humidity, like I probaby should have manned up and broke out the 45s.

That may help a lot. Yep, you’ve got this!
It’s been unseasonably cool here, but that’ll probably change in the next week or two. Starting light means you don’t feel beat up and can increase the intensity next time, right?
ETA - can you get the phone number for one of the well service people, in case you need some help?
I am rationLIESing this by calling it room for “progression” 
Rodeo weekend here is like a national holiday, I could probably get a hold of somebody but the price would be astronomical. Just take pic and put the new one just like the old come apart. He said it’s not rocket science. He says it’s more likely the pressure tank itself. I will have to drain the tank and put precisely 28 lbs of air in the tank, then turn the pump back on. How hard could it be? Don’t answer that…lol

I wouldn’t have though of taking a picture first - good idea! Along those lines, you could also take a video of yourself taking it apart.

Wise plan, in my humble opinion.
The older one gets, the more well rounded (figuratively, of course…err, pun intended? lol) one needs to become.

Nordics are much harder than one would think.

I had no illusion of these going smoothly, but surprisingly I am not suffering any ill effects (DOMS) from them.

How was the switch switching?

Due to the weather flooding the state hwy last week I had to go do the stuff I had planned for Thursday yesterday. So… I
haven’t made the switch yet. I am going to try working on the pressure tank first and see if that does the trick. Draining everything right now. I found a good sized red wasp nest in there and prefer to get rid of them before I have to crawl in the tiny puml house with them.
Success! Everything seems to be functioning properly for now. The schrader vavle in the pressure tank has a very slow leak. Next step will be to try and replace the vavle next weekend and see if that will resolve the problem before I have to consider just replacing the whole tank.

We’re getting the rainy you had now and pretty much for the rest of the week.

Thank you! I look at both as struggling along.
Sweet, that’s good news! Hopefully the tank will remain operational. However, lots of people are forecasting a dire economic future and saying to make whatever big purchases we need now. If you’re able, maybe it’d be wise to buy a new tank.
