today it crested 100 degrees fahrenheit (degree 38.C according to the internet) and the humidity thing on the internet was simply "yes" -- as in, yeah, there's no reading, it's just all of it, have a nice day.
since being vaccinated, the lifting of mask mandates, etc. i can finally start walking again. there is the issue of neurotic people and this strange waltz where sometimes even i twitch just so and it triggers them to cross the street. it is kind of surreal
anyways, yeah, walks. i've been doing like four, six miles a day. not all at once; just generally in 1mi installments. because, fuck, it's 95 degrees and humid as all fuck
i am on one of these walks sunday or so, and i see a Large Thing and a sign that says Free.
someone put effort into this sign. full-size neon green poster board; the word FREE thoroughly done. i gravitate inwards for a closer look: it is a Gym Equipment Thing. FREE
"nothing is free" i think, as i pick up the Gym Equipment Thing and begin to carry it home. get lots of odd looks. just taking my gym equipment for a walk, ma'am.
my arms were limp-y for like a good 36 hours after that; fucker must weigh at least 60lb
i'd kept saying to myself, "oh, now that restrictions are lifting i should score some karen's treadmill for <l$$ now that she can go to the gym again off craigslist."
but now -- with zero social interaction and/or $$ required -- here is... i dunno, something. in the donor driveway, i'd fussed with it a bit, and determined: a) this is not jacked/broken/fucked/filthy/moldy b) this seems like something i could appreciate
now i've finally gotten around to actually using it a bit and it seems to augment quite well; hits a lot of the muscles i don't with all that walking and the lazy yoga. the things people FREE away

less enamored with it now. it really is quite a focused thing, for how fucking heavy it is. it is too horribly boring to be a proper replacement for walking, going outside, whatever. but it does hit my knees, or my triceps, if i use it in certain ways. sad to say, fuck this for when it's raining. it's a shit replacement for actually being outside. but, if i am also outside, it will make my triceps and knees less shit; not bad.
