Up early

I woke up early today for a work day. Don't usually get up too long before work because there isn't much to do until then.

Definitely looks like the fertilizer helped the strawberries. They have a lot more flowers on them and one has a number of small berries. Still wondering if insect damage is occurring, though. Not seeing insects  but maybe need to look closer. If not, maybe the plants need larger containers. 

Been testing my theory on lifting weights for the chest. Most people use the pec fly machine with both arms at once and stop when their arms meet in front. I work one arm at a time and bring that arm across my chest. My testing shows me that this involves more of the medial chest muscles. So my method means I'm building the full range of the pec muscles, so my method is more functional. Not to mention that the center is what is most visible and what most people focus on. That probably has a lot to do with why I've gone up a shirt size since January just because of chest size. I also vary the angle of the exercise, to work different parts of the chest.

I may fall behind slightly from the gain I made last pay period. Only slightly, though. And may regain any loss when I get a refund on the motherboard. That is the issue throwing me off.

Just realized my vacation is in two weeks. The first one. Hmm. I may be renting a car, after all. Weather is heating up and where we are going is pure desert for at least part of it. Don't want us getting so hot we pass out. By my second week off, hope to choose a cooler location and/or fix the air conditioner in the car before then. 

I also have to make plans and adjustments for the plants. Not starting many more seeds which may not survive a couple of days without attention. Basically sticking to low maintenance seeds. On the other hand, have to get potting soil this weekend and get pumpkin seeds started.

Once again, cucumbers are not looking all that great. What am I doing wrong with them?
