Alternative workout
23 MarMy exercises of choice include 5K walking, yoga classes and swimming laps. I wrote a post about the Automattic’s Worldwide 5K Event September 23rd last year. I’m looking forward to doing another one this year.
Opportunities to stretch oneself come along….like relocating firewood to help open space in a barn for more hay storage. The subject firewood was very neatly stacked at the point where it was cut.
This stack was originally small, long, straight trees used for poles to hang tobacco plants to dry. (The hay barn was originally a tobacco barn.) Long out of use, the poles were cut into firewood. The problem is this is about a quarter-mile from where it would ultimately be used. Now, this is where my alternative workout comes in.
My estimation is there were 45 wheel barrel loads times two with about 66# per load. First to load the end of the truck at the hay barn and the second to unload at the former dairy barn. This is one row deep on the truck with the goal to stay within an ergonomic zone for reach (which did not apply to the start and finish stacks). So, where am I going with this?
Dad is ready for next winter with wood at point of use, stowed under a 4′ x 8′ workbench. Yes, there was an overflow. Fun estimates: density of this wood=30#/cu.ft and 100 cu. ft of storage makes for 3000#s or 1.5 tons! That concludes the story of my alternative workout.

Book Review: End Times and 1000 Years of Peace

Download for $2.99. Great investment. Scripture is expertly paired with commentary chapter by chapter, enthusiastic personal messages and encouragement. To me are the illustrations […]
