Meat Maintenance is incremental. About once every couple hours I go into the living room gym and do two pull-ups. This is actually progress from when I first started as I couldn’t do one without worrying if I’d die when I first started, looking back at my last post.
Technically, I’m doing one pull-up and one chin-up, 10 dips, 10 curls in that specific order each time I go in. Then when it feels like that’s getting easy I’ll move to two each, and 20 and 20.
Dips are easy. I can do dips all day. Ok, not all day, but I can knock 10 out pretty well. The pullups are still a grind but as long as it continues to improve I’m happy with it.
I switched gears a bit because I got bored with the Dark Horse refresh. I burned out hard on the last release before this so I’m trying to avoid that. And it’s need-driven: Immediately after building out the public user registration portal for the SILO GROUP domain I walked away and came back ten days later to a down service. I need monitoring and alerting.
I’ve needed it for a while but none of the existing services really work very well, so, I’ve decided to build my own that does exactly what I want the way I want it, and it’ll let people register and set it up to work the way they want it too. Right now I’m calling the platform “Capramon”. It’ll have a goat for the logo.
Winter 3.0 is over. We’ve moved that part of the year where it’s too hot to go without A/C during the day, thunder-storming during the evening, and too cold to go without heat during the night.
In terms of mortar, I’ve overspent. I’ll need to find a contract to keep cash flow right if I want to survive this crunch so I’ve amped up that effort and it’s frankly my main topic. I got flabby operating under weak standards so I’ve got a ton of refresh to do to get to where I was at before this last gig took everything over.
I’m starting to tone up though. Not enough. It’s progress.
Mind, body, spirit.
