Post whatever is on your mind!!

[WTF]

pretty good day on the bench

last 3 sets of flat bench with the big dumbbells:

100 pounders = 12 deep controlled non-stop reps
90 pounders = 17 reps and they felt light until the 15th rep
80 pounders = 23 reps and I ran outta gas

that was after 4 sets of 10 on the incline with the 80s.....and 3 sets of 10 on the flat with the 90s and 100s.....then I just figured I'd see what I had left

followed up with 4 sets of 60lb dumbell flies and 4 sets of dips with my aging carcass

I didn't shart...and I'm still wearing my socks

[Screw]

Hey WTF ,just curious rough age cuz you push a super human amount of weights around :thumbsup:

I'm 48

been lifting dedicated for 30 years.....36 years if you count the on-and-off from the age of 12

been pushing like a madman since I did my basement reno.....I had the first 6 week break ever (during the reno) in 30 years and lost some strength during that break...plus I blew large on the gym reno....so I guess I'm trying to justify things or proove some sort of point with myself or something

gave up on straight bar on the bench years ago cause I would go well over 300 without a spotter and that was kinda dumb...so big ass dumbells it is

Well done.. I gave up on the gym a few years back.

It was the only time in my life that I can remember putting on weight.

[Screw]

I feel really lazy after reading that , maybe it will motivate me . That's awesome !

[WTF]

I like tasty food....and I do like a cold beer or 3......figure if I didn't lift dedicated I'd be a fucking mess

[Ray721]

I hit up the treadmill and did a Bowflex routine today. Gotta start somewhere I guess.

[jibbijib]

Tomorrow you bench press girders at work. You can do it!

No matter what I eat or how many beers.. I stay the same weight. I eat well too. I guess my job/age keep me slim.

My old man tells me it will catch up sooner or later.

Same set up I have here at my house. Last year it worked awesome, lost nearly 40 lbs in just over 6 months. Got off track at Christmas holidays, fell back into a shitty routine and gained a lot back. Equipment is great. I suck.

[WTF]

run what you brung dude.....just as long as you're pushing yourself is all that matters

the stuff I do might sound kinda retarded.....but from a lifter's perspective....I'm just going for respectable over here

after 30 years I can pick up weights with old man strength that the young pups are still intimidated with.....I've already done about 250,000 reps with the son-of-a-bitch so it's no big deal

my counterpart in the office is a big bike rider.....he rides up and back to his sister's cottage (from Port Hope to Bancroft and back) over a weekend......I think he's a lunatic

[Ray721]

I'm usually pushing myself to failure on the 15th rep. Full body routine.

Treadmill is 30 minutes cross country program. Varying speeds and inclines.

I generally feel like puking after lmao. Totally wiped.

Can't wait for tomorrow. Sick and tired of being Fat lol

my wife is 6 months younger than I am....turns 48 this Sept

she looks like she's still in her 20s

the cutest little thing ever...5'3" and about 105lbs and gorgeous

she's always looked like a little aerobics instructor but she's never done squat in the gym cause she never had too

it's catching up to her now

she's still very petite (and drop dead gorgeous) but her body is starting to suffer injury (from age and doing nothing) and she's in no shape to rehabilitate because starting a programme now is just fucking foreign

yes...I told her so

If ya get the workout thing (whatever it is) into your life as a must-do early in life.....then it's foreign not to do it

it will catch up with you

[5.4MarkVIII]

I'm 33. Used to be In decent shape. Love riding bike but day after day of dealing with stomach problems is starting to take its toll. I'm tired all the time. Half the food out here I can't eat and the other half gives me either Indigestion so bad I want to puke or gas so bad I'm doubled over with cramps.
It takes so much will power to suck it up and do a days worth of work then come home and spend time with kids. There is no energy left for exercise or working on the car. It makes me irritable. Worm weather makes it easier just lifts the spirits a bit to be able to go outside. Gonna get the bike down and start riding again try and gain a little bit back.
Don't let lazyness be your excuse. If you have the ability get off your arse. Cuz at some point you might not be able to get out and enjoy stuff like that then you will regret time wasted.

[jibbijib]

I'm only 28, and have back issues and such. Used to always be tired, not able to sleep at night, get heartburn often. All that stuff. I've been eating these multivitamins for a few months now, and my sleep is regular, I'm not falling asleep during the day, and I have motivation to get shit done. My back is getting worse, and falls and bump hurt for a lot longer than they used to, but at least I don't feel like it's gunna be the end any time soon.

Might be something to look into. A lot of how we physically feel is a direct result of our nutrition.


On another note, travel plan is booked and paid for, muscle car driving experience is paid for. Tomorrow is travel ins pickup, license sticker payment, xtine's preparation for daycare at Rickee's, check for and hopefully pickup Passport at Miss. office (if they will let me have it a day before the date specified on the pickup slip) and general mayhem.

Fk that's being really productive .... my paperworks 4 days late gonna drop it off under the cover of darkness at the shop and hightail it home to jump on the couche and watch TV till wee hrs :) off this week

You ever have times when long forgotten memories are brought back so jarringly that it's almost like they actually take you physically back in time. The sounds/smells, everything.

Mark Fletcher taps the two tiny, chipped toy cars on the velvet cloth in front of him: a gold ’68 Mustang and an orange-metallic ’68 Cougar. “These are my childhood cars,” he says... When we ask Fletcher about the value of his childhood relics, he estimates about $10,000 for the pair. We guess he’s not crying over split windshields now. Or is he? They’d be worth four times as much, he says later, “if they weren’t play worn.”

And there’s puckish, 48-year-old real-estate broker Bruce Pascal from Washington, D.C., who, in addition to being a walking toy-car wiki and a member of the Diecast Hall of Fame, is famous for owning the most expensive Hot Wheels ever purchased: a pink 1969 VW Bus for which he’s said to have paid about $70,000 in 2000.

I bought a orange boss hoss still in the package (Lux soap give away) for 400 at a flee market my wife was freaking out then 4 hours later I sold it for 4500 bucks on the redline forum. She didn't think I was crazy then lol

[WTF]

just sent the Chair of the Public Works for the City of Toronto (Jaye Robinson) a note asking if there will be an opt-out for these new "raccoon-proof" green bins because

1) I keep mine in the garage....so mine is already raccoon proof
2) we rarely even get the current bin half full and this new bin is twice the size....so I'd rather have the smaller bin taking up less space
3) the programme cost is $31,000,000 for 500,000 homes....if opting out is an option then it might lower the cost

not looking forward to the bullshiat response I'm gonna get

I can remember inheriting 3 tackle boxes full of redlines from my brother in the early 80's. I loved them more than barbies, but my mom threw them out when she worried I was becoming too much of a tomboy if you know what I mean. I would probably still have them today... :(

[5.4MarkVIII]

Day took a shit when we got the word from the accountant that we screwed something up last year with our business vs. personal shit. Due to this small mistake it looks like the wife and I owe the government this year for income tax. A total of $15000. Yeah that's not a typo. Accountant says there is nothing he can do but we will be sitting down with him tomorow to find out what was screwed up. Why it was screwed up and how I can fix it to avoid this.

[Stephen06GT]

^^ Yikes. Good luck.

[Not4you]

One thing he could do is give any fees that you paid to him back. That sucks!

Is the $15K inclusive of penalties/interest?

[5.4MarkVIII]

No. That's just what he says is outstanding. I haven't talked to him yet. That's tomorow. We are hoping we just imputed some info wrong in the accounting system. Because that is what he uses to do the taxes.
If we input wrong then he has the wrong info go on.
Don't know the whole story yet and I'm not great at dealing with the numbers (hence why I higher a professional)
All I know right now is there was something wrong about how we did our personal wages vs our dividends and he has to try and make something balance. Which is making him input that we took more than we did and more than what we payed tax on. Which is leaving a large chunk of unclaimed income. The numbers just don't add up. I'll stress about it all tonight and hopefully we can clear in up tomorow.

[5.4MarkVIII]

Sorry realized I said last year. Ment as in 2014. The year we are currently doing taxes for.

[92redragtop]

Well if you do owe money then at least it was an interest free loan from the government?

hate to be the bearer of bad news, but even on an error, if you owe taxes from a year ago, they will charge interest.

[Laffs]

hate to be the bearer of bad news, but even on an error, if you owe taxes from a year ago, they will charge interest.

It was for 2014 tax year by my reading, meaning he owes for money earned on 2014 income. So as long as he pays by the deadline, no interest. RedRagtop was saying he got to borrow the governements owed money for 2014 to current.

If I'm reading this correctly. If it was for 2013 income taxes yea he'd be owing interest.

[RedSN]

ah, go it.
i understood it as an error from a year ago causing extra payment for the 2014 year.

[92redragtop]

hate to be the bearer of bad news, but even on an error, if you owe taxes from a year ago, they will charge interest.

Yah, he said 2014 above so unless he had to pay quarterly he'd be penalized but don't think that was the case.

[5.4MarkVIII]

Yeah it's for 2014. And the accountant hasn't submitted IT yet. So I'm hoping there is a fix. My wife feels bad cuz she is doing the managing and has no experience up until now. She is good with checking things with the accountant to make sure she is doing it right. We are just hoping she was imputing something wrong and it can be fixed and the. Re do the taxes. I'd rather pay the account and a few hundred than the government a few grand. Defiantly gonna have to Invest in some proper training for the wife

[WTF]

watching the "Custom Home Builder" across the street....pure comedy

the guys doing the stone and precast work on the face of the house have been at it for 4 weeks.....I'm betting they had the lowest price bid

the entire front of the property is so littered with 4 weeks of heavy shit that they've left and failed to clean up that there's no room to put the newest load of stone

it's like watching the 3 fucking stooges

the builder is an idiot.....if he spent a few minutes and dollars here and there to keep his sight clean and organized then his stone guys would be laying stone instead of falling all over the fucking obstacle course

for the price they're gonna put on this place when it's done....you'd think they'd be a tad more professional and organised building the damn thing

^^^unionized?

nope

and they just left....so here almost 8 hours.....and not one piece of anything went up on the house

all they managed to do was move the scaffolding and go up and down measuring the wall and then measuring the precast pieces and then talking.....and then back up to measure.....rinse and repeat

the "builder" is now the only one here....keeps looking down at the plans....up at the house.....over at the pre-cast pieces.....then again....and again....then at the house from another angle....and again and again

this doesn't look like measuring twice and cutting once......looks like nobody knows WTF they're doing

on my mind: NOTHING! Started work at 6:20am... just finished. Time to sleep, another early start again :/

[Ray721]

Round 2 of surgery tomorrow morning, any chance you guys can get to have your scrotum opened up I think you should do it! First couple days after surgery are fantastic I swear!

I think I'll pass on that one.

[ZR]

YIKES, hope you heal up quickly.

[jibbijib]

My eyes are so dry it hurts. This place is great, but why does it have to physically hurt so much lol...

Must note: if you go to Vegas, DO the worldclass driving experience. Whether it be the muscle cars or exotics, it's so worth it. Plus there's a man there named Steve who's Mustang crazy and has a sweet S197.

The GT500 was an animal. Even with TC on she liked to get tail happy. My group was lucky and we got to drive the cars all the way back to the shop. So a ~2 hour drive turned into ~3 hours.

I will be doing that again.

Got let go early yesterday at work as our work platform is not ready, home now for two days
Got another email for a phone interview which I arranged for thurs morning (so now two on thurs)

In other news got a call during my drive back from the place Im storing the mustang asking if I can pick it up sunday (I cant will up north working dawn to dusk)
So my dad will likely be the first one to drive it this year and it will sit in the garage until I am back again :(

I know some guys are all about Hagerty on here but I gotta say Co-operators really stepped up. I told them how much my quote was from Hagerty and they beat it. Saving almost $45/ month over last year.

Same with Intact. I got a better rate, and more lenient on vehicle usage than Hagerty.
Full appraisal, and insured for the appraised value.

[92redragtop]

^^They allow mods?

[RedSN]

I was completely up front with my modifications and what I use the car for (including track use), and everything is disclosed in the appraisal with pictures.
They said that the modifications were not an issue. Their application form however states that the vehicle must not be "modified from the manufacturer's original specifications", so best to have your broker call them if interested.

[Laffs]

Anyone have a 2015 F150? Dangerously close to pulling the trigger on one.

[Amsoil Guy]

^^They allow mods?

For co-operators they allow $4999 before it has to go to a different class. She said I see here it has a supercharger I think that might put you over the limit. I was like I don't think so, it left the Oakville Assembly Plant with it on there! She said on a truck, that's weird. lol ya it's just another farm/work truck.

My Father In Law bought one a few months ago, 2015 XTR Sport 4x4, loves it. RetroGT has a Lariat. Starting to see more and more on the roads.

[Laffs]

I'm looking at XLT Sport Crew 4x4 with 302A

[Amsoil Guy]

I'm not sure what it is but it might be close to that. He's got a Crew with cloth and a flow through center console. It has been great and lots of power with the 5.0L

[Laffs]

Yea prob close. Its the XLT with the pained bumpers and shit, and 302a is the 8' Sync, Heated cloth seats, Remote start ,blah blah blah.

[Amsoil Guy]

That must be what he has cause he has all that. Seats are comfortable. Ride is nice. No issues so far. What would you like to know, I can ask him.

My brother and I were talking about the new lincoln. I finally had a day warm enough to test out the cooled seats.
He asked how I liked it and what it felt like. I told him it was the best feature I have ever had on a vehicle. Like the soft cool caress of fairy tears carried on the gentle breeze of a unicorn fart.
Black leather seats shall never more leave the balls sweaty and the ass crack dripping.

Lol, no dead sober. Redbull and Vodka is a once maybe twice a year thing. I don't drink very often.

I saw a pitch black figure ride a bike across highway two. Without thinking about where I was I said to Michaela "holy shit I just saw a ghost".

She asked if it was on a bike, I said yes. She then pointed out that we had just passed the "ghost bike" that's been beside the highway for a couple years now.

The chills I felt run through my body after that realization, were incredible.

[Screw]

"Ghost bike" I take it someone lost their life on hwy 2 ? Did you know about the incident ? Subconscious playing mind games maybe ?

[ZR]

I know some guys are all about Hagerty on here but I gotta say Co-operators really stepped up. I told them how much my quote was from Hagerty and they beat it. Saving almost $45/ month over last year.

I suspect their rating shows it as a 1/2 ton truck only, heard another guy say his fell through the cracks as well.

I don't know any details other than the bike and mini shrine set up on the side of the road. I wasn't really thinking of where I was and it was dark so you couldn't really see the shrine.

I was just driving along not even thinking about it. Then I saw what I saw. It didn't click until Michaela mentioned where we were. If it was subconciou,s it was some deep down shit lol

First ride or two in the spring = priceless.
Running n driving ok?

[NickD]

First ride or two in the spring = priceless.

Dad said it started right up (he was surprised the battery was dead even though it was disconnected)
I noticed in my 5 min drive around the block a squeak from I think the front right brake, I think it did it in the fall before being put away. I am not sure if its from getting toasted at the track day or what but its more of a creak then squeak like surface rust on the rotors.
If anyone finds a set of used gt500 or 2011+ brembo calipers for sale let me know.

Why isn't there an international standard on positioning the tachometer and speedometer in the gauge cluster?
On the Mustang and my old F150 Harley, the tach is on the right but on my Escape and Mazda 3, it's on the left.

Hi Ryan,

It is still racing on a track, so the vehicle would not be covered.

[Styrofoam04]

Just not covered on the track? Or void after being on the track?

[Not4you]

Them not covering the vehicle for an incident on the track is one thing, and certainly to be expected. but is she saying the policy is now void, like they are dropping you entirely?

[Amsoil Guy]

I think whole policy void if I get caught.

Hi Laura,

I just wondered how Cooperators felt about me taking the Lightning to the Track. I understand if anything happens on the track that I am not covered. I just want to make sure that if I take the truck to the track once you won't drop me or anything.

Thank you,

.....................................

Hi Ryan,

Any type of racing will Void your auto insurance policy. This means if you race, no coverage.

You talked directly to the insurance company?

[Not4you]

Dean Blundell has ruined my morning commute. He's now the morning show host on the Fan590. I like sports radio in the morning for 2 things:

1) recap of what happened the previous night
2) story lines of what is coming up tonight

getting this through knowledgeable insights and analysis is certainly a bonus.


I do not listen to sports radio for:

1) penis jokes
2) vomit sound effects


Unfortunately for me, his sports radio show is mostly pre-teen humour, with very little sports. His own sports knowledge is only average so he is relying on his co-hosts for the sports content. But his supporting cast isn't a whole lot better. They started out a few weeks ago chiming in with the sports content, but more recently they are getting pulled into the piss and fart jokes and the show is suffering IMO.

On to TSN radio for me now :(

Ya she's one of the agents at my Cooperators.... branch?

[Styrofoam04]

Damn. ... Plates off and no more Facebook Photos

This is for my policy it may be because it's a pleasure vehicle. Yours might be different. State Farm never had a problem with me going to the track. I am going to call them later.

[RedSN]

yeah Ryan, I think you and your insurance co. are talking about two different things.

You are NOT covered while on the track property. But driving to and from the track, you should be covered.
However, Hagarty was weird with this too. Most insurance co. policies will exclude you while at the track. Hagarty told me they don't allow exclusions, so they couldn't exclude me while at the track, which meant they couldn't insure me period. Your policy may be similar with Co-operators. :shrug:

Get yourself a good broker. You never want to be talking directly to your insurance co. Even just to ask hypothetical questions.

[IanGTCS]

Big week for me. My condo sold - well waiting for the assessment but home inspection and financing went fine. Also got rid of the beater this morning to a wrecker. Now to add my name to the title and mortgage of my wife's place, but have to close mine first.

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view5/2689564/peter-skint-knee-o.gif
...complaining about how one of the employees had spilled hot coffee on him. He was demanding to see the manager.

If I was a betting man, I would say for certain this guy was milking it. But as I watched the event unfold I was amazed that the manager was not offering first aid? If he was truly burned as he claimed, they should of been in the back running cold water over the burn. Even if he was faking it, they should of at least tried to administer first aid to cover themselves. Is nobody at McDonald's trained in first aid? All the victim and the manager seemed to be concerned about was who at head office to contact ...presumably to sue.

[jibbijib]

My usual radio station in the am is 107.9. And lately they've been mostly doing sex jokes and dick and poop jokes. Also they yammer on about shit like highschool girls and it's very off putting. When they start to go on about pooping into each others butts I change to 97.7 which at face value seems more immature, but at least they are funny without talking about sex or farting.
