Before the meat of this story, This will be my 100th post on this site! I am excited. It is ok. you can sit down and stop the fanfare.
Now,
I was training with my kettlebells the other day. After I had finished, I picked my lungs up from the floor and headed to the shower. That is where the title of this post hit me.
I, Stinkius, of the most sweaty and foul
do hereby declare mandatory bathing for all of the subjects in the realm.
At the outset of the kettlebell manifesto and implementation,
The de-stinky proclamation will be enforced.
This will include all members of the Empire from the oldest, (me) to the not yet born. Your time will come.
Wherefore the decree will state that only through the act of becoming Stinkius will the kettlebell or the punching bag be effective to long term health, but the immediate implementation of the De-Stinky proclamation will be

I have a question today. Think about this.
What would you do if you had 24 hours completely to yourself?
The house was clean, the kids taken care of, the cars working, the yardwork done, no work, blog post written, not one thing required of you. Time of year is ideal for whatever you wish to do. When you get back there is no backlog of anything. It is a completely free 24 hours.
What would you do?
Me I am torn between sleep the whole time and catch up a bit or go fishing. I am thinking fishing will win but I will have to sit in the bottom of the boat so when I do fall asleep I don’t end up in the drink.
Please share with all of us what you would do!

I went to the hardware store today. One of the big chains that is blue and rhymes with clothes. It is not far from my house so I tend to go there quite often. Well, today it was very nice here in Salt Lake City and there were lots of people buying yard related things.
I was mostly looking at plants but I needed a PVC fitting and some rivets so I traversed the store to get these. I covered most of the store and observed 3 distinct types of Men in the store.
First, there were the guys who were there for the community. I really was convinced these older gentlemen were there to have a good time and pick up something small if it was needed. They were talking to the clerks like they were old friends and it struck me that they were there a lot.
Second, There were guys that

Hello all. Time is not being my friend lately. I am getting behind on so many things. I am seriously considering some major changes to this site and my blog in general. Stay tuned for more, there may be another post this afternoon! In the meantime, would you kindly take a look at the Survey below regarding Fiction Saturday? Don’t enter any email info, that is just from the plugin and not my list. I am going to change this plugin after this survey is a huge and fantastic success.
How many installments of a fiction story is too many?
6-7 installments and then I need a break from the story
10 installments would be great but that is about it
More than 10 would be fine as long as the story keeps up with that many installments
Keep ‘em coming! I can read

Or even Part 2,
Or even Part 3,
Let alone Part 4, the following will make next to no sense. Now that you are caught up, On with the Show!
When we left our Story last time:
Nelson Moran was still dead.
The next day came too quickly. I was back in my office when I called one of my old friends in the police department. It seemed that the insurance people had finished with that they needed and the crime scene cleaners were there now. The police presence was finished. The house was back on the market. The competition should be underway tonight. I was going down there to find out the truth. Or die trying.
And now for today’s installment of “Jackson Malone”
I arrived at the warehouse on 1st and 32nd just after dark, dressed as a homeless person. There were several homeless

I am going to cheat again today and put up a video. I have liked this commercial for a long time. It is about one of my favorite things in the whole world, fishing. If you haven’t ever noticed, I talk about fishing a fair bit. It is going to get worse this summer as fishing season gets into full swing.
I hit one of our local ponds the other day to try out my brand new rod that I mentioned in this post way back on March 1st. I haven’t had that rod out of the trailer since I wrote that post, but it has been calling me. So when it was sunny the other day with temps in the 60′s, I hit the local pond. It is about a acre of water in a park not too far from my house.
Didn’t catch anything but the new rod is awesome. Cast
