Not really a micro.blog thing (although it could be), but if you spend any time on Mastodon, you should probably know about StreetPass:

1. Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site.

2. StreetPass lets you know when you’ve found one of these links, and adds them to your StreetPass list.

3. Browse the web as usual. StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users made up of the websites you go to.

A black dog wearing a khaki dog coat

I put Ashley in her new coat, put on my Alaska Pipeline coat, and went out into the bitter, bitter cold. Ashley would have liked to come right back in, but I made her stay outside until she had accomplished a couple of very important tasks.

At the airport it’s currently -9°F, with a wind chill of -34°F (-37°C).

Although I haven’t quite achieved my aspirational goal of doing all the workouts I want to do, I have been getting workouts in, and they’ve been going pretty well. Last week I did my club swinging workout twice, my kettlebell clean & press workout, my kettlebell swing workout, and my HEMA practice all once each.

I’ve gotten this week off to a good start by hitting the fitness room and doing a bodyweight circuit (jump rope, negative pull ups, Hindu squats, Hindu push ups, and my 3-way core circuit) for three rounds, plus some incline press and some dead hangs.

The negative pull ups, in particular, were better than I’d expected. Something I’m doing—probably the kettlebell swings, but perhaps also the club swinging—is working the lats and biceps more than is obvious while I’m doing them.

I’d gotten my workout log notebook out for writing this post, and failed to put it away, with the (dog induced) result visible above.
