drink a gallon of water a day
Requirement 3 weeks ago

I work outside in Texas, so I usually get closer to two gallons per day. They tell me I’m still dehydrated (because I usually only pee once from 8-5), but I usually feel all right. I sweat a lot more than most of my co-workers.


get a decent pair of black boots
Combat boots 3 weeks ago

I got some black ‘SWAT’ combat boots from a military surplus store for work. They were impressively comfortable, but the soles got holes from cedar after 3-4 months. I still wear them from time to time, as they’re much more comfortable than my new work boots. Just, you know, they have a hole in the bottom.


100 push ups (read all 2 entries…)
Recent research 3 weeks ago

A karate expert informs me that recent research suggests that your palms should not be on the ground when you do push-ups. So he now has his students do knuckle push-ups.

No problem. I still can’t do 100 at once, though, and this will make clapping push-ups a lot more difficult.
