Shovelglove, Part II

Wed Nov 14, 2007 13:55 (UTC -5)

When you call someone, isn’t it considered polite for them to, say… call you back?

I count this as number four. Time to move on. What does the world have against Jordon Kalilich?

Just before I left home on Monday, I decided on a whim to take up the shovelglove again. I briefly took up this form of sledgehammer exercise two years ago but stopped after I overexerted myself. Since then I’ve been lazy/trying to forget it/afraid of exercising. But for some reason, I remembered it and decided to give it another try.

I brought my 4-kg sledgehammer and have started doing some movements with it in the morning. A 14-minute session is recommended, but I think I’ll work up to it this time. Last time, I tried to do the whole 14 minutes too soon, and I couldn’t move my arms for a few days. I’m doing the same movements I did last time: shoveling, churning butter, chopping wood, and flipping the lever. I think I’ll try the Ab Killer as well.

Do check out my online HabitCal (habit calendar) on which I’ll mark my successes and failures. (The color code is: green = success, red = failure, yellow = exempt day.) Right now I’ll count doing the movements as a success, but when I can do the full 14 minutes, I’ll be tougher with the definition.

I am Jordon. People ask me things. I answer them.

Michael : I would like to know the truth about the Beatles 1964 coin that is resurficeing,. Who made it, Why and Who were they given to. I Thank you, Mike

Hm. I know about the Beatles, and I know about coins, but I don’t know about Beatle coins. A quick Google search suggests that some bronze coins were made to commemorate a visit they made to the United States in 1964. Since I didn’t bother to go past page one of the Google search results, I don’t know who would have issued them, and it’s possible that some or all of them were made years after the fact.

Tim: How much does it need to go to Ameryca one time?

Tim, thankses, to ask to me over a travel towards the Ameryca. It is a beautiful station of job, that the sure one is that estimated. The Ameryca, For Your Information must once be a lot. I hope that you he find it valid.

Here’s a fine example of stop-motion animation with real people: Tony vs. Paul.

Yes, Jordon, the polite thing is to call back.

Calling back is pretty important, yes.

Careful with the Shovelglove!
