The air was good, so I was back in the garage. It felt good to listen to my custom playlist of Elvis, classic country, metal and gangster rap.
I don’t have any Elvis

We had a great day with some friends, who drove over from Seattle yesterday. We hit some wineries in the area. Today, however, the smoke is probably one of the worst days I’ve seen. The fire is over 75,000 acres at this point.

Not much going on today. I’m a little drained. I’m probably a little burned from deads yesterday, plus a busy, stressful day at work.
As strong as ever here.
I’ve been reading Bill Seno’s “Pushing for Power” book on internet. A Chicago English teacher, he wrote it when he was doing pre steroid impressive lifting (500+ benching w/o gear) before 1969. Good workouts for training the big 3 lifts. Guy was really strong, a Mr. America most muscular winner in the 60s, still alive.
He trained/influenced Ed Coan and Louie Simmons.
I think I will look it up. Thank you.

I decided to train at home, in the garage. I am wishing I had not. I like to train with the door open and it was pretty windy. There is still some smoke in the air today. It is just killing my allergies.
Bill Seno’s book Pushing for Power is readable on Scribd.com . Can join the site free for a month and then cancel if desired. I don’t think one can download from that site.

I almost went the gym after work, but I decided there would probably be a few less D-bags in my garage. Plus it was nice outside and no smoke.

It was 93 in the garage. That was not bad part. There was still more smoke in the air than I thought. I should have gone to the gym.
I was in Kuwait during and after DS when all the oil wells were burning. Always worried what it done to my lungs. Had a ct scan done on my lungs several years ago and all clear. Watching our weather here in Alabama today and the weatherman says, “Perfectly clear skies, all the haze your seeing is from the fires out west.” Must be bad.
Yep. Our forest fire is now just short of 100,000 acres and only 17% contained.
Simply awful. Stay safe.

Thanks. We’re supposed to get a little rain today. Hopefully that helps. I don’t expect it to be out until the first good snow. That’s still at least six weeks out. The smoke sucks.
