What happened to the tire?
Sep. 5th, 2011 11:40 pmI was out late on Saturday night and had a bit of a lie in on Sunday, though I did stock up on supplies for my week in the Collaroy Castle and went to the gym. I was really looking forward to playing with the ginormogantuan tractor tire they have at one of the gyms here. I had a whole thing planned and was all set to go when I turned up and found the tire was gone. I've not been to the Mona Vale gym for a while and asked one of the employees when it had gone. She said she saw it there just a few days ago.
I tried to put together a new workout but the rings there weren't spaced at a point where I could do dips or ring pushups. I had been looking forward to tire work so much that when that went I was unable to put anything else together. It was in a moment of aspie stress that I wrote in my workout book where I record my workouts "F*CK IT! No tire. What the hell happened to the tire?" I did some heavy farmers walk with 32kg in each hand and some power cleans, and later did 100 marine pushups in the sauna where it was 96 degrees (over 200F).
TW: 500 hand release pushups for time. 23:38. Now I can feel the fatigue.
I spent the day at home, only going outside briefly to get something out of the car. Tomorrow I think I will go out more, possibly for a swim.
We have found a new housemate, who will be known as Ginger Harpist, because that is an apt description. She is the one who plays the harp professionally and also gives lessons. The fact that she will be teaching lessons from home and rehearsing long hours is an issue, but it need not be a problem if we all approach the whole thing as reasonable people (and we are all reasonable people.) I had the best feeling about her and I think she will fit into the culture of Chez Canuck better than anyone else we saw.
Today the market dropped a lot, but I didn't lose much. SNL went ex-dividend, and all orders were scrapped so I took the opportunity to put in a sell order at 74.5 cents for some of my holding and a buy order at 51 cents. I spent part of the morning bidding the buy price up with someone else before they left. As it is, I currently have the highest buy price at 56 cents and the lowest sell price. This means that if anyone wants to buy or sell SNL right now, they will have to do so at my price. I am setting the market. It's not a hevaily traded stock (no trades were made on it today) but for the time being, and until a normal market returns from all the orders being purged, anyone who wants to sell will have to sell to me at my price and anyone who wants to buy will have to pay a premium to get my stocks. This window will close I am sure, but at the moment I really am defining the market in this stock.
