We managed to accumulate a busted washing machine, a busted generator, 35 gals of crushed aluminum cans and some scrap steel to recycle -- all to benefit the temple. Can you believe all we got was $20.20? It looks like they coded everything as misc ferrous scrap. But you know that generator core had 5 or 10 lbs of copper wire in it, and the washer motor almost as much. Didn't think of that until after we left. Next time I'll rip out the motors and demand separate weights. Should've gotten $75 at least.

And now for your 12-month-old flashback...

Cabal Fang Workout of the Week #60 Training Involution #109

Boxing HIIT for Accuracy: Setup a slip ball and a heavy bag so that you can switch between the two. Set timer for 1:00 rounds and complete 20 of them, alternating between ball and bag. On the heavy bag rounds, focus on hitting precise targets on the bag. Put a few “Xs” on the bag with medical tape if your bag doesn’t have dots or targets. On the slip ball rounds, focus on executing perfect and crisp pops and slips. Muddy movements are easy for opponents to read! When done, cool down by walking it off for 3 minutes.
Writing exercise. Get out your training journal and write 100 words minimum about quality. What does quality mean to you? Have there been times in your life when you have and have not done quality work? Compare, contrast and explore.

"Lightning hits! Quality! Virtue! Dharma! That is what the Sophists were teaching! Not ethical relativism. Not pristine "virtue." But aretê. Excellence. Dharma! Before the Church of Reason. Before substance. Before form. Before mind and matter. Before dialectic itself. Quality had been absolute. Those first teachers of the Western world were teaching Quality, and the medium they had chosen was that of rhetoric."
