Squat 490 - good (3 ... http://www.kungfu.cc/blog/2006/08/pl-meet-report/ Well, I had to tell everyone so I’m also posting here. I finally got 365 pounds in a paused one-rep max on the bench press. Raw, of course. With that, I should be able to secure a few Texas state powerlifting records in July at the APF ... http://www.kungfu.cc/blog/2006/05/finally-365/ Well, I did my first endurance event a couple of weekends ago - the Dick Brown 1/2 Marathon. And I’m still paying for it - if you ever do one of these things, you definitely want to make sure you have properly-fitting shoes.

I do this because all this costs money, which of course I’d like to defray, and at the same time I’m all about the content that my pages provide. Well-chosen ads have actually ... http://www.kungfu.cc/blog/2005/10/ads-or-content/ Yep, I like electronics and gadgets. I guess that makes me a techie, a geek, a nerd, whathaveyou. I build my own computers from parts (and then build computers for family and friends out of those parts when I upgrade *grin*). I have to admit that Newegg ... http://www.kungfu.cc/blog/2005/10/confessions-of-a-techie/ I just got back from teaching freshman chemistry for nursing majors where I handed back their recent Exam.
