It's 70 out today, I took PTO, and just did the second ride of the year, 18 miles with a wild elevation chart. My wife's on spring break so we're doing a kid free lunch date next. Great day!

I have two in the front and a stand of like 10 in the woods behind the house. I tapped 7 this year and have had a pretty good run. Will probably collect the last of it this week and do one last boil next weekend

Made about 50 ounces of maple syrup last night!

I saw the explanation as "we had Intel that Israel was going to attack Iran. If that happened then Iran was going to attack our bases. Therefore, we had to preemptively attack Iran before they responded to the Israeli attack." Which... Ok

Just want to remind everyone that both

"The Iranian regime is evil and should change"

and

"Trump should not launch unconstitutional unilateral wars with Bibi without congressional approval to distract from bad poll numbers"

can be true

The decimal shift map is very fun. Are you just doing the base ten version?

It has been at the expense of sleep and free time, but I'm pretty happy with myself that I've maintained this consistency this month. I finished family leave and started back at work and was nervous I'd drop off. Thanks to my baby for waking up at 330 to feed and forcing me to lift at 430-6am!

Nope, can't listen to this all night. I'm going to bed

So he's saying he just won't listen to the supreme Court, and that tariffs are going to replace the income tax. If the supreme Court rulings mean nothing unless they support the administration checks and balances in America are truly dead

Zero illegal aliens in the last nine months? WTF is he talking about

I hate that I feel a patriotic duty to watch this shit show

Why can't they do this shit earlier

It's 4:50 am, I'm 20 minutes into a leg workout, objectively not a lazy thing. I just finished cross arm front squats and am doing straight deadlift next. Rather than rack the weight I switched from cross arm into a Zercher squat, went deep, and placed the 135 on the ground. Objectively very lazy.

When I was in Afghanistan and had nothing to do but play Skyrim and lift I was doing 2 a day lifts. The result was I'd end up doing chest-back one day, legs-arms/abs another. You would get the second day sore the day you hit the muscle group again... Eventually I added a cardio day in between

Second day sore! It'll getcha

Wedge style salad with NY strip steak? Yes please

Got it. Again, split across three lifting days, but I hit

400 deadlift
365 squat
300 bench

1065lbs. I really thought it was going to take until the summer to work up to this. I'm so excited that apparently my muscles remember how to do things! Hitting 300 bench at 5am felt amazing

No but I can Google and see where the President was in April 09

That is very cool and 100% not something I'm going to tell her, lol She already has a long enough travel plan to bankrupt me!

How far from the bomb ground zero is the refueling site?

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Was Obama in China in April of 2009? Everyone had a blackberry in 09, hell I did.

But no, he first visited China as president in November of '09.

My oldest is very into these geography videos that just like chant facts at you. She just randomly asked me if we could visit the Marshall Islands so she could go to bikini bottoms (presumably because of SpongeBob). I just had to be like no, we can't go to the nuclear weapons test site!

Still got it. Hit 375 deadlift yesterday, if I can get 295 bench tomorrow I'll be over 1000lbs again. Not on the same day, but for now I'll take it for what was a by the end of summer goal

I just didn't understand how any of this can be justified. The people supporting ICE are soulless enemies of liberty. It seems like congressional Democrats might finally be drawing a line thank God but who knows. Just makes you feel so politically powerless, and me here with a dumb ass GOP rep

I am just full of rage

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.

It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

I remain beyond convinced that in 30 years some declassified doc will get released showing he was an asset of the Kremlin all along.

Went to bed at 930, baby slept until 430 and went back to bed. Got a solid hour of leg day in in the basement. Now it's 6am, I got 7 uninterrupted hours of sleep, and already got my lift in for the day. Oh and I'm on family leave the next 3 weeks, so my sole job today is snuggling a 3 month old 😎

Rye and orange juice?? That never occurred to me but sounds delicious
