Two new hobbies

Ok as many people know I am a serial hobbiest.  A friend at work has been asking me to try out their gym.  It is a Thai Boxing gym.  I finally went.  I had been slacking on my working out and gained 15 lbs since the spring. I had been going regularly but the intensity enough to make a difference.  Now I have a true hour workout that is intense and I hope to gain a new skill in the process.  It has been hard due to the nature of the workout, lots of aches and pains from using new muscles but actually my cardio has been keeping up pretty well.  We'll see how the weight loss goes but I don't think my body has a choice but to lose doing this.

The second one I have taken steps to start but not actually done it yet and that is reloading.  I got two new rifles this year and ammo is actually still hard to find due to hoarding because of gun control crackdowns causing fear, but that is another subject.  I have purchased the majority of the items I need but I still need a few things.  The first is  a good reference book.  The library doesn't have anything on it which I am surprised or is this part of the conspiracy against gun rights?  I hope not, but it is odd.  I would rely on the old internet, but when it comes to a potential safety issue I think I am going back to the old analogue book for this one.   This hobby isn't about saving money because It probably going to take 1000s of rounds to break even.  It is more about tuning to get the best performance and availability.  Again we'll see how it is goes or I will be typing with one hand or eye in the next month or so...

Blog Mid October

I've been slacking on my blogging

I've been injured then sick thus slacking on my working out

I haven't lifted for a month until today

I had been doing some light cardio biking jogging but then I got a cold

But first I had cut my hand on an oyster knife (obviously) opening an oyster and needed stitches 

I was on antibiotics and once I stopped after 10 days I had a reaction (augmenten) my hands and feet itched but no visible rash.  This lasted a few days and them I got the cold

I went to the AUSA trade show this week.  It was like a Christmas Day for me with all types of my interests represented guns, knives, tools, optics, military hardware of all sorts.  I got free stuff and even Glock playing cards.  Then on top of that I was able to network personally and for the job.  I saw 2 old aquiantences (from black and decker and ASIT).  The only problem was I ran around so much I didn't get to eat.  I have to do these type of things more often.  

 The ravens haven't been commented on because they are doing about how I predicted but they are under performing.  Some in the media are giving them a pass because of their record and Super Bowl.   The Baltimore Allstate are not playing this year instead it's the B team or JV Ravens.  I'm not giving them a pass as they are who they are and have been. The Baltimore Allstars were a fluke that resulted in a Super Bowl and I will take that.
