SSAB - November 27, 2024

Can I say I’m tired of the cold? Workout in! Having fun trying to calculate kg to lbs. Bench, squat, accessories + a 7.00 km run in 37.03. Did I actually run 7km or is my watch lying to me? Six laps to a mile, 3.6 laps to a km. Why is it abbreviated “lbs”? Apparently from the Latin “libra”… but where does the “s” come from? Some say “little beef stacks”, which I thought was an interesting answer. Walked back and made another vlog for the YouTube channel. Thought it might be interesting to take a look at one of the malls here. Russian class done, nieces are studying Spanish. Could I study Spanish? I’m told it’s easier. What if I went to Uruguay instead? Guess I should pay rent. How are those stonks doing? Donate to the show!
