If you enjoy WWI books you should check out “to fight among friends”. It is the heart wrenching diary of Charles May, a British officer born in New Zealand who served and died at the Somme. I wrote a linked in article about it here:Link to article

The Dan Carlin podcast “blueprint to Armageddon” is also very powerful.

Other than text books I’ve actually never read a war book in my life, this was a solidarity purchase lol.

I’m a huge fan of books though, but i stick almost exclusively to fantasy. I’ve always had a love of history, and I actually studied history and archaeology for a year at uni, before changing direction, so it’s about time I try some history books like this.

I’ll definitely check that Charles may diary out once I’m done with phantoms book, I’ve been to Somme before. It was a very confronting place, so I can only imagine how it would feel to read a something like that.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Recently got back into a fitness kick... I used to be a fairly hard core athlete, but life/time has made me soft... lol.

Anyway, while on vacation last week, the resort had a TRX station (including slam balls), so I gave them a go (after doing some YouTube instruction vids). These things rock, and are the latest craze with the XFit gurus I work with.. I got an intense crazy workout, so I ordered a few for the home gym... they are on the way!

Here was the workout setup while on vacation... I did spinning classes and CF workouts (in addition to swimming laps and daily beach volleyball). I leave for a week long bicycle conference in two weeks, (where I’m instructing a couple workshops). Gotta get my biking legs tuned up! Hoping the slam balls help!

Just picked up a crocodile skin leather strap for my watch. Of course the strap cost much more than the watch did, but whatevs. I enjoy the little things.

Just got this for the price of a couple bottles of bourbon and the labor to dismantle and set back up at my place.

Guy I got the bubble hockey from was moving and wanted it out of his house.

After some April foolery (FedEx dickered around with the delivery dates), my slam balls finally arrived.

Wife and I have a date nite... with a 30 min non stop circuit workout that involves lotsa slam balls.

Do not use 'slam' and 'balls' consecutively, please.

Is slam ball like dodge ball?

 

[WedgeRock]

At 10 lbs., I doubt it. Probably more like a medicine ball.

It’s exactly a medicine ball, but is specifically designed to be slammed into the ground in various manners. It it filled with sand and doesn’t bounce at all, unlike a med ball..

Paid for with some of the BTP auction money (game # 2 won't be picked up for a couple weeks)

 

[Trihonda]

OMG I love Costco.

The things you didn’t know you needed until Costco shows you that you do...

Also snagged a new mini fridge for the game room. Not nearly as exciting

I’m guessing that you don’t have downstairs neighbours...

I’m just imagining the wee woman downstairs from me coming up to my door to ask what all the noise is and me shouting “SLAM BALLS”

Yea you can play dodge ball with slam balls but you only play once

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Easy to remember, @MaxB is the goat, @MatB likes to sleep with goats.

Confused on just the first part of your post; "is" or "has" a goat?
