#VeteransDay

So reflecting on my time in the Air Force this Veterans Day.

I spent my childhood believing in the idea that a man should try and work towards something greater than himself. Every story, every TV show, every movie was of someone stepping up and doing what needed doing. To work […]

#MensHealthMonth
#FitnessQuestion

Quick question.

Does anyone know how to calculate calories burned without needing a smart watch to track everything?

If I could ever figure out how to do something like this, this is the project I want.

I absolutely love the look of the Citicar and while I would love to restore one I don't know what to do to start.

So I […]

#MensHealthMonth

So the last part of the week sort of got fuckered up. My routine was messed up after the Planet Fitness in Weatherford had to close due to plumbing problems for the rest of the week. Then I had to spend near $600USD this morning getting my Alternator changed on the KIA.

Kinda […]

My routine is fucked up today.

The Planet Fitness I go to workday mornings was shut down for maintenance. Didn't know until I got there this morning.

At that point heading to the Granbury location is out of the question so have to adapt. Will try again this afternoon.

Found this randomly searching Markplace yesterday...

#MensHealthMonth
#FitnessProgress

Today wasn't that good a day at the gym.

Got out of the house late and had to hit the Dumpsters first which always seems to eat 10 minutes in the morning.

I did get a calisthenics set done so there is that. But my stomach feels a little uneasy today […]

Today's Elliptical breakdown.

#MensHealthMonth
#FitnessProgress

Spent 30 minutes on the Elliptical Machine today. Heart rate got up to 150. Didn't get the entire break down from the Machine unfortunately.

But 30 minutes at level 10 isn't bad.

#Travel
#Planning

Just decided to see what a week in Seoul with a hotel and flight to and from DFW might cost.

A bundled setup didn't seem that bad st all really. My credit card company has deals with Expedia who has deals with airlines and hotels. So a week in Korea would cost about $1500 […]

Just so you know.

The Bible supports the existence of Lizard People.

#MensHealthMonth

So I guess this is Men's Health Month. I honestly never pay attention to these little awareness things throughout the year.

But this year maybe it would be interesting if I made some posts on my page.

Right now health wise I am still improving my fitness. Trying to set level […]

#AndroidTablet
#AlternativeRoms

I have a Samsung Galaxy A8 tablet. I use it but honestly I have to wonder if there is a better way to use it.

Has anyone had any experience with alter active images and installing them?

#ComputerScience
#OpenCourses

To those who watched or read IT'S Open Courses without going to the institute, how did you find it for self learning?

Decided to try and find some more computer science education and actually watch and read it so am curious.

#Linux
#LinuxFromScratch

Youtube recommended a 3 hour video of a man doing a Linux from Scratch install.

I clicked on it.

#Dental

My Crowns showed up early and I got them in yesterday. I think I need a bit of adjustment though. My jaw feels like it closes right but I still feel like I am biting on something on the left hand side.

Maybe its a bit of weird offset from the week with the temporary crowns. I will give […]

#FitnessGoals

Finally broke down and used Grok to find the standards I was looking for. I now have four goals to work towards.

For a 26 year old Male in the Air Force in 2005 a bare pass for fitness was:

20 push-ups in 1 minute
32 situps in 1 minute
1 mile run in 13 minutes 30 […]

#Fitness
#AirForce

I am trying to find the basic Air Force fitness standards from back between 1999 and 2006. All I am finding currently is modern standards.

I just want to find what the standards I had to meet back when I was in are. If only so I can shoot for that as a benchmark of my […]

#Ideas
#AIContent

Been thinking on a project for a while. As well as the ideas of propaganda and revisionist history.

Thinking of two separate but interesting project ideas that I want to at least outline.

One is a worldbuilder/alternate history designer program that I want to put together as […]

#Fediverse
#SelfHosting

If there is one thing trying to go back to hosting my own forums, sites, and servers has allowed me its the feeling of control.

I no longer am subject to the Algorithm if I don't choose to be. And I post to sites other than YouTube for video so I can at least have some […]

Been needing a new watch for a long time. Thought about spending on a Smart Watch and trying to keep track of the data it would gather.

But recently I have had a need to disconnect from how absolutely digitally I live my life.

So I started looking at older […]

So I bought a piece for My K1000 to finally get it to 99% of brand new. Had to order it off Ebay from India so knew there would be a Tarrif. 25% on a $25USD bill, thats fine.

I knew I was gonna get charged that.

What happened was a month after it arrived I got a bill […]

So I am pretty sure I need at minimum a new head gasket. The first place I went to wanted $5k. I haven't gotten around to calling other shops yet but I need to.

Honestly depending on the answers I get I may just invest in a whole new engine. Get the entire thing pulled and […]
