Thursday Minion at bat.


It's Thursday!
I give no excuses for previous performance.
I have successfully endured six 12 hr shifts, military doctors, NCO initiations, 400 miles of Michigan wintery roads, Flu, rain, snow, more rain, more snow, two basketball games, 25k (total) runs, a poor neglected (now exuberant) pitbull, and I am ready with a celebratory shot of Jameson and perhaps an "Ole Dirty Bastard" brew from Founder's Brewery....maybe three.
Let's see what Thursday will bring.

Com'on you vile, nasty spreadsheet! Take yer best shot!
Maybe I'll just pop off these boots so I can get ready to count toes...

    "..so I can get ready to count toes"

    Well, if your maths is that bad let's hope nobody submits entries bigger than 20 points! ;)

      Don't worry, Peter, it is far too cold for "commando"!
      Tamsin, anything more than 10 will be referred to as MANY! ;)

      David - I assumed you were using your toes to count from 11-20, using your fingers for 1-10 ;)

      Use my fingers to count!? How can I hold coffee, beer, or a paint brush if I did that!? ;)

      Pity you can't just call out, "From the right, NUMBER!"

    Count yourself lucky you might have been sent to an army base in Alaska! (No Florida is only for Officers and the Navy boys!)

      During the "fun" run on Friday, I made the observation that it was Zero degrees as my bare hands were froze in just a few minutes. Actual temperature was -1°....I'm not sure if I should be proud of my outdoor knowledge or despair that I was running in that weather! ;)

      David, I'm afraid you're going to have to dig deeper. It was -32 C this morning and Lady Sarah and I watched runners and cyclist-commuters parade past our living room window heading to work.

      As we say here in the Canadian Prairies, 'Bit nippy, eh?'

      It should be noted that winter physical fitness uniform is a long sleeved PT shirt, PT shorts, socks, and running shoes. The PT jacket(springtime thin plastic), PT pants( also plastic-y), a fleece watch cap, and knit gloves (grandma's mittens are thicker)
      No other "snivel" gear authorized. You are dressed for a brisk Spring day! ;)
      The best part of the run was the shower after and donning "polypro" under the workday uniform and breaking out the winter gloves and baclava! ;)

      Certifiable! (I am not expanding on that statement!)

      Would a "woot-woot" be termed brown-nosing, or proper showing of subservience!?

      Nah, save that obeisance for Inauguration Day. I only seek satisfaction in the knowledge of your sleep deprivation and evidence of work from your brush-blistered fingers.

      Okay, okay, a 'woot-woot' now and again would be appreciated...

      ;OP

      I was tucked into bed quite early as my schedule really wore this Ole man out! Auto-Scheduled posting is AWESOME! ;)
