Humor from Work
This was in a wellness email from work...
For those of us getting along in years, here is a little secret for building your arm and shoulder muscles. You might want to adopt this regimen. Three days a week works well.
Begin by standing with a 5-LB. potato sack in each hand. Extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can...try to reach a full minute. Relax.
After a few weeks, move up to 10-LB. potato sacks, , and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50-LB. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight out for more than a full minute.
After you feel confident at that level, start putting a couple of potatoes in each of the sacks, but be careful not to overdo it.

I find a home gym far superior.
The "Greywolf Home Gym" so far consists of two hemi engines, an antique automobile, my truck and all of my tools, all of my groceries, and hot-footing it to work from a parking lot almost a mile away from the ship (can you spell aerobic? never mind...)
- And I just got back into bicycling, because if I didn't do that while I was in San Diego of all places, I would hate myself for wasting the chance to....
(I'm going on a 28 mile ride on the fourth of July just for old times sake. Wish me luck, but I shouldn't need much since there is a beer truck and PIZZA at the end of it all...)

I get plenty of exercise at work myself. I don't need any expensive treadmills or universal.
I'm constantly pushin' buttons, yanking chains, flying off the handle, jumping to conclusions, and pulling legs.

get plenty of exercise at work. Usually atleast one truck with atleast 4 skids to unload by hand (no dock). Yesterday we unloaded 16 skids of monitors, computers and printers in like 2 hours. Doesn't sound the bad till you realize that it was about 80 degrees outside , inside the trailer the temp can get 20-30 degrees about the outside temp. And most of the stuff weighs around 30 pounds. With some of the printers and boxes hitting 50-100 pounds. Usually one man in the trailer (me) and 3 to 4 guys on the ground, they keep me running to get it unloaded.
