Otani the Thai Tire
Nov. 7th, 2011 11:45 pmMy tire arrived.
It needed some cleaning and it still needs some more, but that didn't stop me from having my inaugural workout with it on Saturday morning.
SatW: 5 rounds - 4 tire flips, 20 tire jumps, 4 tire flips, 50 sledgehammers - 20:08
It's a heavier tire (I can't quite figure out how much it actually weighs) than the one at the gym and flipping it isn't easy, especially given the shape. There is very little clearance underneath it and it's not easy to get a grip on it. Getting work gloves might help with getting my fingers between the rubber and the ground.
Still, it's a great workout tool.
When I start training people I may have to help them with flips.
Later I had a further leg workout at the gym with a focus on maintaining excellent form (having my feet wider really helped with overhear squats and thrusters), and had another solid workout on Sunday focusing on arms and back which I did slowly after a run to and from the gym.
TW: 3 rounds - Run around the block with the sandbag, 10 jumps in then out of Otani, 20 slosh pipe lunges, 20 slosh pipe squats - 29:13
So I've had some good workouts and am continuing to get new ideas.
I visited the motherf*cking bank like the motherf*cking adult and decided not to open a business bank account as I don't think it will be necessary just now. I did wind up with an ABN (which was easier to get than I expected) and didn't register for GST because the potential benefits in claiming input credits are fairly minor and it would increase my costs. I also set up an e-mail for my business and am updating my CV to reflect the fact that I am now consulting (even though I've not actually done any concrete work yet.)
My VMG stock is back trading again and is lower than I thought it would be but I will hold on to it. AUT has rebounded nicely but ERA has dropped on account of a capital raising. I'm taking a bit from my margin loan top participate in it. It's a risky strategy but I am not emotionally committed to it. It is just currently trading at a higher price than the capital raising price and I might as well get in rather than allow my holding to be diluted. I'm trying to get out of NBS at a reasonable price.
I also plan to vote against the board of BOW, NBS, and CCV at my first opportunity. I am not happy with how these companies are being run and in these cases I have no qualms about trying to fire my employees and voting against the remuneration they have set for themselves.
