Physical Challenge

Here is a short video and a small part of what I did today to prepare for my challenge. THe challenge is to do 50 push ups, 50 Squats and 50 Pull Ups. Here is how it works. Say I do 5 pull ups and can't do anymore, I have to run 1/4 mile then come back to the pull up bar, do 4 more, run 1/4 mile 3 more run 1/4 mile etc. I do this until I reach 50. When I am done with that, I have to start on the squats until I hit 50, then do the push ups. Think you can do it. The record at Wild Basin is 36 minutes. I have no idea how long this could take me. Here is a small part of what I did today to prepare for it. I have 5 1/2 weeks to prepare.

Random Bullet Points

Before my Random Bullet Points: Enjoy this video. It is my horrible golf swing, it is only 8 seconds long. What is amazing is that it was shot and uploaded to youtube by an iPhone. Amazing. I have to upgrade soon.



I have had a blast with my daughter all day. She had her first trip to Wal-Mart today, very exciting.
Baby had a tough nite last night, Mom didn't sleep at all. I took over at 8:30ish. Together, Landry and I watched Stage 9 of the Tour de France. Thanks to Lance Armstrong for being there this year, he really makes it more interesting for everyone. My daughter should be quiet a sportsfan. Last weekend we watched Wimbeldon. We were both cheering for Andy Roddick. Her first of many heartbreaking sports moments. Keep in mind she is 6 weeks old.

Does Breast Milk stain furniture? Will it leave a pungent odor? Reason I ask is because I spilled some, actully alot on the couch today. Tricia pumped before running a few errands, I spilled most of it, baby is now starving. I'm kidding, I made her a bottle and she scarfed it down.

Does anyone have a home or condo in the mountains that we could use? Every year at around this time I need to get out of the heat and go to the mountains. We went to Northern Idaho last year and Jackson Hole the year before that. This year, it isn't in the cards.

I think about the families that have a loved one deployed all the time. If you are one of those people, hang in there. They will be home soon. I remember my Dad being gone. I also remember how kind everyone on base was. Just wanted to let you know I wish you well. Military families have a bond that non-military families will never understand. We speak the same language, (BX, PX, TDY, Base Ops, Commissary, PCS, NCO's, CO's, and Squadrons) understand each others feelings, and know that we could be stationed somewhere else tomorrow.

Austinite, Tim Petrovic is playing great golf at the John Deere Classic. I met him awhile back and he is a great dude and an impressive guitar player.

Gotta Run!

Bullet Points


Happy 4th of July. As I write this fireworks are going off over Lake Travis. Today is the 3rd of July, a Friday. Is it just me or is this annoying? Independence Day is the 4th of July, not the 3rd. Can we not wait one more day to "oooooh and Awwwww" as things explode in the air? I have always been anti-fireworks. I guess it something about lighting your money on fire.


Lake Travis has only been lower 5 other times since the lake was built. It is ugly out there. You have to REALLY want to be on the water to be on Lake Travis. Someone asked me yesterday where a good place to launch their boat would be, I told them Florida.


I'm closing in on 2000 followers on Twitter, www.twitter.com/sandymcilree I'll be very proud when that happen. Hey, the world goes monkey nuts when Ashton Kutcher hit a million, I can be a little proud when I hit 2,000.


Be sure to watch Austin Uncut on KXAN Saturday, July 18th at noon. It is a very cool Austin show, and they are doing a piece on JB and me. Interesting angle, they are interested in what we do when we aren't on the air.


Tricia and I went on a date tonight. We had sushi then, on JB's recomendation went to Spiderhouse Coffee. Very cool coffee shop. It reminded me of the coffee shops in Amsterdam without the weed and hash. Funny how smells can take you back, (the coffee in the shop and the weed somewhere close by)


I am going to be the emcee at the retirement ceremony of several Austin Police Officers on Wednesday afternoon. I am flattered by the request. Also trying to schedule a ride out with Chief Acevedo. My wife has done it several times and says I will love it. I'll be sure to let you know on the radio show when it is going to happen and then tell you what happened.


Landry is now one month old. Hard to believe. We have had a few tough nights, but overall I would say we are doing pretty dood. It is great having a Grandma 10 minutes away. My wife is a Rock Star with her, I'm trying to keep up.


Happy Birthday America!
