Funny but true......
« on: March 03, 2018, 1523 UTC »

We have an employee funded gym at work.  I am a charter member of said gym with the exercise bike being my favorite piece of equipment.  I did more road biking in younger years.  The Gym Board members informed me they were securing a Peloton Bike for me.  I responded with, "If I wanted to sit in front of a screen and be yelled at, I could just go home  ;)". Ah, you can take the boy out of NYC but you can't take NYC out of the boy.

Lol the gym in our strip mall put flyers on all our vehicles in the lot. We all looked at each other and laughed. I move tons of steel a day at work, by hand. In the heat of summer I'll be sweating like Hillary Clinton in church.
As much as I hate to be drenched with sweat in public, I'm afraid if I stopped now I'd soon be in much worse shape. In the end, they pay me to exercise.

Good for you!  That's why I make it a habit of putting in a good size garden every year, don't get much of an opportunity to "work out" at work.
