Workout Thursday

-


So off to the gym again this morning. It has been almost a week since the last workout, but I had bad headaches this week and we just weren't feeling well. I hate to say my headaches are migraines, since I read such horror tales about people with real migraines. They have auras and need to stay away from light and/or noise. Mine aren't that bad. I have some sensitivity to light and/or sound, but nothing like what I read about.

 I feel bad for them. On the other hand, the headaches were bad enough that I just didn't feel like working out. But this morning (despite a residual headache) we dressed out and went anyway.

 On a Thursday! (Thursdays are run-the-vacuum/laundry days.)

Bench Press - 10x145, 10x145

Bicep curls - Inward 20x35, 10x50, 10x55, 10x60, 10x55, 10x50, Straight 15x35, 15x40, 15x40
Tricep Extension - 10x50,10x60,10x70,10x60,10x50
Tricep Overhead Machine - 10x50,10x55,10x60,10x55,10x50
Tricep Pushdown - 20x140, 12x150, 20x160
Lat Pulldowns - 12x100, 12x100,12x100
Pec Deck - 12x100, 12x100, 12x100
Pec Cable - 10x35, 10x35, 10x35

Seated Leg Press: 50x240
Calf Raises (on Seated Press): 50x240

Looks a lot like the other workout days, but that's okay. My muscles are tired and it was an okay workout.

 Then I came home and washed my car and ran the vacuum.

Why I cancelled The Bauman Letter

-

I signed up for The Bauman Letter, edited by Ted Bauman and read it for a few months. His father is a well-known member of The Sovereign Society and Ted contributed for years. I like Ted's writing style and read his letter for the nuggets of information I could glean. One month he recommended a company in Australia for holding my gold. If I had a hundred grand in gold, maybe I'd go that route. Then again, maybe I'd bury it in the back yard like the old Romans. I cancelled his newsletter after reading his October issue. Ted posted ten pages of glowing prose for the 1291 Group of the Americas . I was impressed by his report and thought this might be a company I could park my IRA with and not worry about it. (We've been burned by local investment advisors who lost large chunks of our investment and still took their overly fair share of fees, so we're hyper-cautious.) Ted especially praised Erika Nolan, the CEO of this prestigious firm. Ted forgot to menti...

FBAR Scam, but not illegal

FBAR (not to be confused with FUBAR, but the one can lead to the other) is a government required Foreign Bank Account Reporting that you must file if you have one or more foreign bank accounts that total more than $10,000 in assets. It is another of the methods the USA uses to track illegal drug trafficking money. I won't comment on how effective it all is, but there is a sort-of scam you need to be aware of. Yeah, you didn't want to read all that. Here's the scam. If you google FBAR, the very first link reads: Fbar Filing - FinCEN Foreign Bank Accounts Form - eFileFBAR.com and links to www.efilefbar.com. Don't click it! It's a legitimate link and they ask you all the correct FBAR questions. When you finish, they want you to pay them $350 to file for you ! Go to the FREE Government Link The government web site asks exactly the same questions, in exactly the same order and then lets you file for  FREE  with the USA. So what the "efilefbar...

Grandma

Mom would have been 78 this year. Happy Birthday, Mom. When our cousins laughed and told my youngest brother that Grandma Jen wasn't our Grandma he just smiled and walked away. "She's my Grandma," he said. When they told me, I was irate. I was eight years older than my youngest brother, and I knew it wasn't possible for Grandma to be my cousins' great Aunt. I also hate being confused and I knew Grandma Jen was our Grandma. In a family tree Grandma Jen was our great Aunt, our real grandmother's younger sister. We have very little information on our grandmother. Elva Gertrude Elston was born in Sanilac County, Brown City, Michigan in 1915. She left the farm and her family and moved to the big city of Detroit when she was eighteen. According to relatives she never used the name Elva, but went by the name Peggy. She was very beautiful. My Aunt Ida (Peggy's youngest surviving sister) told me that Peggy came home to the farm for a few weeks duri...
