Another challenge…this means two things

F*^#.  Every time I turn a corner in this house, that’s either the word I say, or at least the word I think.  If it’s not wiring that was apparently done by someone drunk, high, or both, it’s ductwork that ends with a vent in a room that I hardly ever use (for those of you that don’t know, apparently when you put a vent on the “end” of a trunk of ductwork, that’s where ALL of the air in that trunk goes, and thanks to Mr. Bernoulli, it actually sucks air out of other rooms in the process, so no room is comfortable!), or it’s remodeling that I should have done myself, but noooooo.  Could’ve saved a shit ton of money and learned a new skill, but noooooo!

I’m trying to hang a projection screen for my projector TV/golf simulator (I know, first world problems) and figure out a way for the screen to retract…because it’s technically a garage.  This is presenting all sorts of problems.  Then there’s the HDMI and electrical work in that room itself…and then the ductwork.  Next time I want to remodel, someone remind me not to remodel.

And then, just for the cherry on top, I decided to do another 24 day challenge (Advocare).  I was doing really well today (day 2!  WOOT!).  Had the fiber and spark with breakfast, a shake for lunch, and pierogi for dinner.  Then, for some reason, I just got this feeling like I am/was forgetting to do something REALLY important.  Of course, Josh being the good friend he is, was quick to say, “you probably are.”

And then I made a can of potatoes mixed with two slices of bologna and all tied together with two eggs.  I have to say, it was quite tasty, but in no way helping me lose weight.  God I can’t wait for the f*&#ing weather to turn so we can ride (regularly) again.  Those 20-40 mile rides were great for one thing, allowing me to be a fat pig, minus the fat part.  I just need to accept that my caloric intake is going to be 3000-ish per day and make sure I exercise enough to burn off a good 1300 every day.  My problem, besides loving food, is I eat my stress…and I’m stressed a lot lately.

Oh well, it’s Masters week and I’m a huge golf nut, so I’m not all that stressed.  Maybe a little.  I’d like my projector ready so I can mirror the Masters website to the projector.  The free coverage from the website is basically the same as network coverage…but, better!  I’ve basically got 48 hours to get it together for the par 3 contest Wednesday.  Smart money says Tuesday night (Wednesday morning) around 5am, after 93 cups of coffee, I’ll be putting the finishing touches on it.

That or lots of angry masturbating will make sure it doesn’t get done at all.

Either way…Fujit.

Until next time,

Plonker

PS
I’ve been trying to grow a goatee like Heisenberg (Breaking Bad – if you haven’t seen it yet, watch it…it’s awesome!).  Well, apparently my facial hair is stuck in the 5th grade.  It’s been (trying to) growing for three weeks now and it’s sparse, has gaps everywhere, and SON OF A BITCH THAT’S A GRAY HAIR!!!

…now I want something chocolatey.

Finally Working on the Site Again

It’s been a few months since I’ve updated the site. I’m planning on working on it again. I had a number of projects to write about and an attempt at the Advocare 24 Day Challenge with Plonker.

I just got behind and overwhelmed with what I wanted to do with the Advocare write up. So, I decided to write it up differently. Initially I wanted to do the challenge, get the results, compile the nutrition in the Challenge and compare it to other products. That is more difficult than I initially thought. The standard nutrients are easily compared, but how do you compare herbal content?

So I’ve decided to just write about the experience. Maybe later I’ll add to with with comparisons.

The projects I’ll work on posing too, though they didn’t always end well. But, then again, I guess that’s fitting.

Busy Week

It’s been a busy week here in fujupz land. Finally  had a chance to do a little poking around on the site. I’m still trying to finish up projects to add to the Projects page. I did finally add some background to the Cycling page. Plonker has been nearing completion of a garage remodel, so that should be interesting.

Also I’ve started an instagram for some teaser pics of upcoming project write ups. It’s still green. #fujupz

Future ideas for the site include videos and animations. Since we have zero experience with either that should be, uh, just great.

Halloween Weekend

Halloween weekend was a busy one. I was work on the electrical service upgrade for my house, that should be a “project” listing when it’s all said and done.

I ran out of candy on Halloween. It’s my first year in this house and wasn’t sure how many kids hit this area. The Answer: more than my old house. Note to self: load up next year.

Halloween is also Plonker’s birthday, which he hates to recognize, so I have to do it. He got an  ice cream cake, which he hates. And also got a bright red cow shaped creamer. He has no use for one. After the “festivities we gorged on pizza and wings, because we’re 15 at heart.

I tried to wrap up a cycling project. It didn’t go as planned, so I need to decide what angle I’m going to take in the write up.

Busy Working on Projects

As I’m slowly putting the site together I’ve been busy working on projects that will soon be posted. The line up includes:

Greasing Road Bike Bearings
Upgrading a Home Load Center
Suzuki Verona Engine Work
and Replacing a Servo Motor on a Komori Sheet Press.

I believe Plonker has a workbench project in the line up.

While I work on setting up project pages and cleaning up layouts and the like, I have started an Instagram account where I’ll post teaser pics of upcoming projects. #fujupz
