Ranger Hal Battles the Jungle


Recommended Posts

Last challenge I did lots of the things. I need to change up some of the workout stuff from last time because I'm not really excited about continuing the pushups and chair rows I had been doing. I'm not sure what I want to do. More hiking would be good, but I've found it difficult to consistently get that done in the past. I'm not worrying about that right now. I'm doing some specialized SAR training most of the week, so that's keeping me busy.

 

I will probably add some more stuff later, but for now, I want to keep doing some of the things during zero week.

Loving the zero week bridge.

And who doesn’t like a grid to track it all? :)

A couple of things were pretty good, but not quite as good as I wanted, so I have introduced the green "x" to represent those things.

A sliding scale, that's an excellent addition. The whole it's a dial, not a switch mentality.

Do you have a red check mark? And if you did, between the two which would be the minimal win and which the not-bad fail?

 

Anyway, good luck with all your boxes!

Well, I was really hoping for a yellow symbol (check or x would work), but I didn't see one of those or a red check. I would use the green x as the minimal win and the red check as the not-bad fail. I guess that means I notice the color before the symbol. Interesting.

 

Edit: I have just been leaving it blank for a not-bad fail, like when I'm out half the night with search and rescue, so of course I'm not in bed by 11pm or doing the planned evening stuff, and I'm probably not getting up at 7am because I want to get some sleep (at least 4-5 hours is nice) before work the next morning.

I approve of this non-binary assessment.

It's about progress, not perfection.

 

Looks good from here!

Do you have thoughts for next week?

The jungle is taking over one corner of my house. I'm going to remove at least one vine every day.

 

I still need to figure out what I want to do for exercise. It's been hot and I don't feel like doing anything.

Thankfully, it's supposed to have a cooling trend this week. It was cooler last night at our house, so my house is not near as hot, which is nice!

A bit cooler would be nice! I did not appreciate my house being 85 degrees yesterday afternoon/evening and not being able to open the windows until after 8pm because it was hotter outside. I did make one of the missing window screens for my bedroom earlier this week, so now I can open a window in that room without all the bugs coming in!

Yeah, when I say cooler last night, that wasn't until way later. When I woke up the house was cooler, but when I went to bed it was super warm outside. I was watering things at 9 at night, and the thermometer, said it was still 80 degrees

Note to self: do not multi-task while battling the jungle. Especially when said multi-tasking involves the stove. Fortunately, it appears that I didn't damage my pot when the water boiled away.

😬 yeah, don't do that

I originally thought you'd fallen in my usual pitfall of interacting with the things while deciding their fate.

The fate of the blackberries is to go directly into the yard debris bin! I just got excited about making progress and kept working longer than planned and forgot that I'd put a pot of water on the stove to start cooking dinner.

Ooh, watch out for poison ivy!  "Hairy vine no friend of mine"; I have learned this from sad, personal, domestic-jungle-clearing experience.  (The rash is almost gone. 😬)

Thanks for the warning, but it's not something I really have to worry about in my area. Technically we do have poison oak locally, but it's extremely rare and I'm 99.9% sure there isn't any in my yard. My jungle consists almost entirely of invasive blackberries and bindweed (morning glory). I'm glad to hear you're recovering from your experience with poison ivy.

Oh, that's fortunate!  It's an absolute nuisance around here.  It's everywhere
